TYPES OF COMPUTER 

1. DESKTOP 

 

A desktop is a computer display area that represents the kinds of objects found on top of a physical desk, including documents, phone books, telephones, reference sources, writing and drawing tools, and project folders.

A desktop can be contained in a window that is part of the total display area or can be full screen, taking up the total display area. Users can have multiple desktops for different projects and work environments, and they can switch between them.

A desktop on a computer display is different from a desktop computer, which is personal computer (PC) that sits on a desk or table. 

2. MONITOR

 

A computer monitor is an output device that displays visual information, such as text, images, and video, from a computer on a screen. It is a standalone electronic display that connects to a computer, functioning similarly to a television but without a TV tuner and typically designed for higher resolution. Monitors include a display panel, circuitry, and a power supply, allowing users to see the results of the computer's processing.  

3. MOUSE 

A computer mouse is a handheld input device that allows you to control a pointer on the screen to move, select, and click on items. It works by detecting movement on a flat surface and sending that information to the computer, which in turn moves the cursor to match the physical movement. Most modern mice have two buttons and a scroll wheel for scrolling through pages

4. KEYBOARD 

A computer keyboard is a built-in or peripheral input device modeled after the typewriter keyboard^[1][2] which uses an arrangement of buttons or keys to act as mechanical levers or electronic switches. Replacing early punched cards and paper tape technology, interaction via teleprinter-style keyboards have been the main input method for computers since the 1970s, supplemented by the computer mouse since the 1980s, and the touchscreen since the 2000s.

5. HARD DRIVE 

 

A hard disk drive (HDD), hard disk, hard drive, or fixed disk^[a] is an electro-mechanical data storage device that stores and retrieves digital data using magnetic storage with one or more rigid rapidly rotating platters coated with magnetic material. The platters are paired with magnetic heads, usually arranged on a moving actuator arm, which read and write data to the platter surfaces.^[1] Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored and retrieved in any order

6. RAM 

Random-access memory (RAM; /ræm/) is a form of electronic computer memory that can be read and changed in any order, typically used to store working data and machine code.
