COMPUTERS FOR INDIVIDUAL USERS

Computers used by only one person at a time. such computers are called personal computers.
The six primary types of computers in this category are:

1. DESKTOP COMPUTERS: The most common type of personal computer is the desktop
computer.

 GRAPHIC DESIGN: used in creating logos, brochures, pamphlets etc.

 GAMING: used in playing different low graphic video games.

 BUSINESS: Provide workers with tools and a means to complete job-related tasks.

 SCIENCE: Used by scientists for research purpose.

2. WORK STATION: A specialized; single-user computer that typically has more power and
features than a standard PC.

 SCIENTISTS: Used for complex calculations or scientific researches.

 ENGINEERS: Used for making high resolution designs.

 ANIMATION: Used for making high-resolution animations, for editing large video files.

 GAMING: Used for playing high-resolutions games easily.

3. NOTEBOOK COMPUTERS: A battery or AC-powered personal computer generally

smaller than a briefcase.

 Home: Used for watching movies, using social media, surfing web etc.

 EDUCATION: Used for giving presentations, making assignments, taking online classes
etc.

 BUISNESS: Used for meetings, giving presentations, generating reports etc.

 GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS: Used for solving citizens issues.

4. TABLET COMPUTERS: Computer that is intermediate in size between a laptop and a

smart phone.

 HOME: Used for surfing web, video chatting, sending or receiving emails etc.

 EDUCATION: Used for making notes, searching information, reading e-books etc.

 RESTURANTS: Used for displaying menu and for taking orders from the costumers.

accessing health records, monitoring patients etc.

 SUPER COMPUTERS: A computer with very high-level computational capacities. These

are the most powerful computers.

 WEATHER FORCASTING: Used by climatologists at National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration (NOAA’S) to predict climatic change.
 SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH: Used by Astronomers at NASA to analyze data streaming from
satellites orbiting earth for exploring the solar system.

 NUCLEAR RESEARCH: Used to generate 3D simulation of a Nuclear or Atomic test.

 GOVERNMENT AGENCIES: Used by government intelligence agencies all over the

world to monitor communications between private citizens, or suspected terrorist groups.
The agencies need the numerical processing power of supercomputers.
