Now a days the computers we are using that computers are known as
the fourth-generation computer. From this period semi-conductor
memory is introduced & begins the use of Microprocessor made by
LSI (Large Scale Integration) & VLSI (Very Large Scale
Integration)technology. As a result the price & size of computer
becomes more less & performance of work gains several times. For
using in it numerous application softwares, operating systemsetc. has
been stronger & more developed. These computers which are made

Sometimes known as a personal computer, this is a computer system


that can fit on yourdesk at home, work, school or college. The
individual elements of a desktop computer varyaccording to the needs
of the user. Some users need a general-purpose desktop computerto
run a range of applications; others need a desktop computer that will
form a workstationon a network. A typical desktop computer
comprises a central processing unit (CPU), amonitor, a keyboard, a
mouse and a printer. The CPU includes the processor, the
mainmemory and other important electronic circuits.
1. Desktops
A desktop is intended to be used on a single location. The spare parts of a
desktop computer are readily available at relatively lower costs. Power
consumption is not as critical as that in laptops. Desktops are widely
popular for daily use in the workplace and households.
2. Laptops
Similar in operation to desktops, laptop computers are
miniaturized and optimized for mobile use. Laptops run on a
single battery or an external adapter that charges the computer
batteries.
3. Netbooks
They fall in the category of laptops, but are inexpensive and
relatively smaller in size. They had a smaller feature set and
lesser capacities in comparison to regular laptops, at the time
they came into the market.
4. Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs)
It is a handheld computer and popularly known as a palmtop.
It has a touch screen and a memory card for storage of data.
PDAs can also be used as portable audio players, web
browsers and smart phones. Most of them can access the
Internet by means of Bluetooth or Wi-Fi communication.
5. Tablet Computers
Tablets are mobile computers that are very handy to use. They
use the touch screen technology. Tablets come with an
onscreen keyboard or use a stylus or a digital pen. Apple's
iPod redefined the class of tablet computers.
6. Wearable Computers
A record-setting step in the evolution of computers was the creation of
wearable computers. These computers can be worn on the body and are
often used in the study of behavior modeling and human health.
Military and health professionals have incorporated wearable computers
into their daily routine, as a part of such studies.
When the users' hands and sensory organs are engaged in other
activities, wearable computers are of great help in tracking human
actions. Wearable computers do not have to be turned on and off and
remain in operation without user intervention.
