Computer hardware is the collection of More parts of a
computer system. This includes the computer case, monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
It also includes all the parts inside the computer case, such as the
motherboard, hard disk drive, video card, and many others. Computer hardware is
what you can physically touch.
Types of
Computers:
There Are Two Types Of Computer:
(i) Desktop Computer
(ii) Laptop Computer
(i)
desktop computer
A desktop computer is a personal computer that is designed to
fit conveniently on top of a typical office desk. A desktop computer typically
comes in several units that are connected together during installation: (1) the
processor, which can be in a microtower or minitower designed to fit under the
desk or in a unit that goes on top of the desk, (2) the display monitor, (3)
and input devices - usually a keyboard and a mouse. Today, almost all desktop
computers include a built-in modem, a CD-ROM drive, a multi-gigabyte magnetic
storage drive, and sometimes a diskette drive. At home, most desktop computer
users also purchase a printer. In businesses and increasingly at home, desktop
computers can be interconnected and can share resources such as printers by
being connected to a local area network (LAN).

laptop computer
A laptop computer, sometimes called a notebook computer by
manufacturers, is a battery- or AC-powered personal computer generally smaller
than a briefcase that can easily be transported and conveniently used in
temporary spaces such as on airplanes, in libraries, temporary offices, and at
meetings. A laptop typically weighs less than 5 pounds and is 3 inches or less
in thickness. Among the best-known makers of laptop computers are IBM, Apple,
Compaq, Dell, and Toshiba.
Laptop computers generally cost more than desktop computers
with the same capabilities because they are more difficult to design and
manufacture. A laptop can effectively be turned into a desktop computer with a
docking station, a hardware frame that supplies connections for peripheral
input/output devices such as a printer or larger monitor. The less capable port
replicator allows you to connect a laptop to a number of peripherals through a
single plug.
Laptops usually come with displays that use thin-screen
technology. The thin film transistor or active matrix screen is brighter and
views better at different angles than the STN or dual-scan screen. Laptops use
several different approaches for integrating a mouse into the keyboard,
including the
touch pad, the trackball, and the pointing stick. A serial
port also allows a regular mouse to be attached. The PC Card is insert table
hardware for adding a modem or network interface card to a laptop. CD-ROM and
digital versatile disc drives may be built-in or attachable.
