I. Computer and Its Types
Computers are classified into four (4)
different types based on its processing
power and size:

SUPERCOMPUTER

CLASSIFICATION MAINFRAME
MINICOMPUTER
OF COMPUTERS COMPUTER

MICROCOMPUTER

[Link]
TYPES OF COMPUTERS

1. Supercomputer is the fastest and most

powerful computer in terms of performance
and data processing. It uses its power to run
one program at
a time.
Used in:
• Research and exploration
• Weather forecasting
• Nuclear weapon testing
[Link]
TYPES OF COMPUTERS

2. Mainframe computer is not as powerful as

the supercomputer. It is designed to run
multiple programs concurrently. It is commonly
used in:
• Banks
• Educational Institution
• Insurance companies

[Link]
TYPES OF COMPUTERS
3. Minicomputer, also known as “Midrange”
computer fill the space between the mainframe
and microcomputer. It is smaller than
Supercomputer or Mainframe computer but bigger
and more powerful than the microcomputer. They
are generally used as mid-range servers. Some of
its uses are as:
• Data Management device
• Communications Portal
• Process Control [Link]
TYPES OF COMPUTERS

4. Microcomputer is the most widely used

computer – desktop, laptops, tablets, and
smartphones. It is the cheapest among the
different classes of computers. This computer is
design for general usage such as entertainment,
education and work purposes.
