Types of Computers - A brief introduction

When looking at types of computers you are going to be amazed at the various technologies offered on on the market. Computers come in all different sizes, shapes, and with varying capabilities. 
In the high end you will find what are called supercomputers.  They are massive computers with thousands of connected computer microprocessors and then some.  They perform unbelievable calculation feats by tackling the most complex calculations.

On the other side you will find super tiny computers that are in everything from automobiles, to TV's, to even some refrigerators.  Of course the use of tiny microprocessors doesn't end there either.  Take for example a device called  a Cochlear implant, it helps the hearing impaired and even relies on a tiny microprocessor.
Now that you have a very basic understanding of types of computers, lets move onto the personal computer, otherwise known simply as the PC.  We are going to overview various types of personal computers including: desktops, laptops, handhelds and Tablet PC's.
