LESSON 1: Types and Parts of
Computers,INTRODUCTION
Operating Systems and
Peripheral Devices
To be well acquainted with computer-
it is important to know its basics such as
the parts, its classifications, the devices
that add functionalities and the set of
programs that manages computer
hardware resources. This module will give
an explanation about the computer’s
 OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson you are expected to:
• Identify the different types, parts and peripheral devices of a
computer.
• Define Computer Operating systems
• Enumerate the types, parts, peripheral devices and operating
systems of a computer.
• Recognize the basic computer operating systems.
• State the function of types, parts and peripheral devices of a
computer.
• Appreciate the importance of types, parts, peripheral ang

Types of Computers based on data handling
1. Analogue
Computer
capabilities:
- are
Computerdesigned to process analogue data. Analogue data is continuous
data that changes continuously and cannot have discrete values. We can
say that analogue computers are used where we don't need exact values
always such as speed, temperature, pressure and current. Speedometer and
mercury thermometer are examples of analogue computers.
2. Digital computer
- designed to perform calculations and logical operations at high speed. It
accepts the raw data as input in the form of digits or binary numbers (0
and 1) and processes it with programs stored in its memory to produce the
output. All modern computers like laptops, desktops including
smartphones that we use at home or office are digital computers.

3. Hybrid Computercapabilities:
- features of both analogue and digital computer. It is fast like an analogue
computer and has memory and accuracy like digital computers. It can
process both continuous and discrete data. It accepts analogue signals and
convert them into digital form before processing. So, it is widely used in
specialized applications where both analogue and digital data is
processed.
 Types of
Types of Computers based on its size
1. SupercomputerComputer
- the biggest and fastest computers. They are designed to process huge
amount of data. A supercomputer can process trillions of instructions in a
second. It has thousands of interconnected processors. Supercomputers
are particularly used in scientific and engineering applications such as
weather forecasting, scientific simulations and nuclear energy research.
The first supercomputer was developed by Roger Cray in 1976.
2. Mainframe
computer
designed to support hundreds or thousands of users simultaneously. They
can support multiple programs at the same time. It means they can
execute different processes simultaneously. These features of mainframe
computers make them ideal for big organizations like banking and
telecom sectors, which need to manage and process high volume of data.

Types of Computers based on its size
3. Miniframe or Computer
- a midsize multiprocessing computer. It consists of two or more
Minicomputer
processors and can support 4 to 200 users at one time. Miniframe
computers are used in institutes and departments for tasks such as billing,
accounting and inventory management. A minicomputer lies between the
mainframe and microcomputer as it is smaller than mainframe but larger
than a microcomputer.
4. Workstation
- refers to an individual computer, or group of computers, used by a single
user to perform work. It has a faster microprocessor, a large amount of
RAM and high speed graphic adapters. It generally performs a specific
job with great expertise and is also intended for serious academic or
professional computation.

Types of Computers based on its size
5. MicrocomputerComputer
- also known as a personal computer. It is a general-purpose computer that
is designed for individual use. It has a microprocessor as a central
processing unit, memory, storage area, input unit and output unit. Laptops
and desktop computers are examples of microcomputers. They are
suitable for personal work that may be making an assignment, watching a
movie, or at office for office work.
Types of Micro computers:
Desktop Computer or
- A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for regular use at a
Personal Computer(PC)
single location on or near a desk or table due to its size and power
requirements. It is not very expensive and is suited t the needs of a single
user at home, small business units, and organization.

Types of Micro computers:
Computer
Notebook Computer
or -Laptop
is a small, portable computer and have all the features of a desktop
computer. The advantage of the laptop is that it is small in size, so it can
be carried anywhere. Notebook computers use a variety of techniques,
known as flat-panel technologies, to produce a lightweight and non-bulky
display screen. Laptops Computers are higher in cost than the desktop
computers

Netbook
These are smaller notebooks optimized for low weight and low cost, and
are designed for accessing web-based applications. Netbooks deliver the
performance needed to enjoy popular activities like streaming videos ort
music, e-mailing, web surfing or instant messaging.

Types of Micro computers:
Tablet Computer
- A tablet is a wireless, portable personal computer with a touchscreen interface.
The tablet form factor is typically smaller than a notebook computer, but larger
than a smartphone.
Handheld Computer or
- It is a small computer that can be held on the top of the palm. It is small in
Personal
size. PDA usesDigital
a pen or a stylus for input, instead of the keyboard. They have a
Assistant(PDA)
limited memory and are less powerful. PDAs can be connected to the internet
via wireless connection.
Smart Phones
-are mobile phone with highly advanced features. A typical smartphone has a
high-resolution touch screen display, WiFi connectivity, Web browsing
capabilities, and the ability to accept sophisticated applications. The majority of
these devices run on any of these popular mobile operating systems: Android,
Symbian, iOS, BlackBerry OS and Windows Mobile.

INTERNAL PARTS OF COMPUTER
MotherboardPERIPHERALS
- is a printed circuit board and foundation of a computer that is the biggest
board in a computer chassis. It allocates power and allows communication
to and between the CPU, RAM, and all other computer hardware
components.is the main printed circuit board in a computer.
Power Supply Unit
- powers all other components of the machine. It usually plugs into the
motherboard to power the other parts. The power supply connects to
either an internal battery (on a laptop) or a plug for an outlet (on a
desktop).

PERIPHERALS
Central Processing
- referred to as a computer's brain. It. performs most of the processing
Unit (CPU)
inside a computer. It processes all instructions received by software
running on the PC and by other hardware components, and acts as a
powerful calculator.
STORAGE DEVICE
Random Access Memory
- is a temporary form of memory. When you open an application in our
computer, the computer will place that application and all its data in the
RAM.
Hard Disk Drive
- Since RAM is temporary, your computer needs a place to store data permanently.
That's where the hard drive comes in. The traditional hard drive consists of several
spinning platters with an arm that physically writes data to the disk. However, these
drives are slow and are starting to be replaced by the faster solid-state drives.

PERIPHERALS
Solid State Drive
- is consist of flash memory, like your smartphone or flash drive. They are
much faster than traditional hard disk drives, though cost more for the
increased efficiency. Both types of drives come in various sizes to suit
different needs.
Video Card
- also called a display card, graphics card, display adapter, or graphics
adapter. It is used to enhance the quality of images showed on a display. It
is attached to the motherboard and controls and calculates an image's
appearance on the screen engineers.
Optical Drives
Though less common than they used to be, many
machines still have an optical drive for reading CDs and DVDs. These can be used to
listen to music or watch movies, place information onto a blank disc , or install
software from a disc.

Input and Output Devices
Monitor PERIPHERALS
- is an output device that displays video images and text. A monitor is
made up of circuitry, a screen, a power supply, buttons to adjust screen
settings, and casing that holds all of these components.
System Unit
- also known as a "tower" or "chassis," is the main part of a desktop
computer. It includes the motherboard, CPU, RAM, and other
components.
Keyboard
- A computer keyboard is one of the primary input devices used with a
computer. Similar to an electric typewriter, a keyboard is composed of
buttons that create letters, numbers, and symbols, as
well as perform other functions.
