DIFFERENT TYPES OF COMPUTERS

MAINFRAME

Mainframes are powerful computers used by big companies and governments.

Some characteristics are:

• Nearly all mainframe computers can run multiple operating systems. • They can add system information without

shutting down a computer.

MINICOMPUTER

A minicomputer is the medium level of the computing spectrum. Largest being mainframe and smallest microcomputer.

• Minicomputers were first built by companies such as HP and DEC.• The classical minis were 16bit while the upgraded

ones were referred to as ‘superminis’ and were 32bit.

MICROCOMPUTER

• They have microprocessors as the CPU.

• Really small compared to mainframe and minicomputers.

ENDING NOTE:

So we have talked about the three different types of computers and we have listed characteristics and some information about each of them. Mainframe computers are the largest, microcomputers are middle-sized and minicomputers are the smallest, hence the name.
