 supercomputer is a computer that is at the frontline of current processing capacity, particularly speed of calculation. >100TB of RAM >300GB of HARD DRIVE Memory  Used for: Security Purposes Calculations Scientific and engineering work

 A desktop computer is a personal computer (PC) in a form intended for regular use at a single location. Desktop computers come in a variety of types ranging from large vertical tower cases to small form factor models that can be tucked behind an LCD monitor. The Ram and the Hard Drive Memory can be changed. I will be using AlienWare Area-51’s characteristics: 2TB Hard Drive Memory 12GB Triple Channel 1600MHz DDR3  Used for: Personal use ○ Homeworks ○ Work ○ Entertainment

 A laptop is a personal computer designed for mobile use that is small and light enough for a person to rest on their lap. A laptop integrates most of the typical components of a desktop computer, including a display, a keyboard, a pointing device (a touchpad, also known as a track pad, and/or a pointing stick) and speakers into a single unit. Like Desktop Pc, the characteristics of laptop differs so I will be using Alienware M17x’s characteristics 500GB Hard Drive 8GB Dual Channel RAM  Usage is same as Desktop PC

 Mainframes (often colloquially referred to as Big Iron) are powerful computers used mainly by large organizations for critical applications, typically bulk data processing such as census, industry and consumer statistics, enterprise resource planning, and financial transaction processing. Same characteristic as supercomputer, although it depends..

 A Handheld PC, or H/PC for short, is a term for a computer built around a form factor which is smaller than any standard laptop computer. 10MB RAM 512MB Hard Drive It differs..!

 personal digital assistant: a lightweight consumer electronic device that looks like a hand-held computer but instead performs specific tasks; can serve as a diary or a personal database or a telephone or an alarm clock The characteristics differs but I know that it is very small compare to Desktop PCs
