TYPES OF COMPUTERS

There are five main types of computers available, they consist of;

  • DESKTOP
  • LAPTOP
  • NOTEBOOK
  • NETBOOK
  • PDA

The way you can really tell the differanced between these five modles is by the size really. Starting at the desktop being the biggest and ending with the PDA beiong the smallest.






TASK 1:1

Teacher - A desktop would be most suitbale for a teacher as they need to store alot of data and a desktop can store more data then a laptop.

Doctor - Again i think a desktop would be more suitable to a doctor as he will need to store all client information and health issues so will need alot of storage space so again a desktop would be a better option.

News Reporter - With a news reporter i think they would benefit from both as they could have their desktop to store all the information they have and a laptop to take with them where ever they go so they can jot down notes and save them.

Website Designer - Again similar to a news reporter i think they would benefit from both so that they can sort and keep all their designs at home and information and data and then have a laptop to either take home to do more work or take to potential clients to show their work.


TASK 1:2

a) I think the most important part of person a's computer would be their haed drive size as this will dictate how much music and how many films they can store!

b) With person b i think the most vital part of their computer is either their ' CPU speed' or their g' grpahics card'

c) With person c their most vital part would be that their 'wi-fi' is enabled and running wirelessly.

d) Again with person d their most vital part is going to be their 'hard drive size' or their 'memory - ram size).

e) With person e its going to have to be their 'RAM' and their 'optical drive'.




PERIPHERALS


A peripheral is a device that is connected to a host computer, but not part of it. It expands the host's capabilities but does not form part of the core computer architecture. It is often, but not always, partially or completely dependent on the host.
