    The document defines and describes different types of computers including supercomputers, mainframes, microcomputers, desktop computers, laptops, workstations, handheld devices, and servers. Supercomputers can tackle complex tasks and were once the fastest computers in the world. Mainframes are large, expensive computers that can process data for hundreds or thousands of users simultaneously. Microcomputers meet the needs of individuals and include desktops, laptops, and handheld devices. Desktops have separate components and run on wall power, while laptops have integrated components and can run on batteries. Workstations are powerful desktops for specialized tasks and servers supply users on a network with data.
