The two types of computers that are the most common people use are the Personal
computer, and the Laptop computer. Most people would say that there is not that
much difference between the two, but they have no idea how wrong they are. The
Personal computer is what the majority of the people have in their homes. PC is
a term that means personal computer use. With these Personal computers, people
can use it at home, school, or at a business. These computers can store abundant
memory and space. The computers themselves have a glass monitor, like a
television screen, which enables people to see more colors. It also has a higher
resolution rate so people can see more clearly. The Personal computer can have
some remarkable features added to it. People can add printers, bigger speakers,
desktop scanner beds, and best of all, a bigger hard drive. People can create a
desktop or tower into a server that goes through the server and networking
systems to the multiple computers. An example of that would be; a hotel manager
sitting behind his computer watching every single thing the desk clerk in the
lobby would put into his computer. This way, the manager can supervise the desk
clerk. Also through a regular Personal computer, people can install a magrox

can split their desktop for more working space. Plus, most Personal computers
have a mouse that people use for pointing and clicking. The Laptop is a computer
that is light weight and portable for easy transportation, which makes life
easier to take on business trips, vacations, and anywhere people want to take
it. Laptop simply means that people can set the computer down on their lap,
desk, or on any flat surface. As far as memory goes, Laptops only hold
twenty-five gigs. The Laptop computers themselves have a plastic screen that
reduces the resolution rate. This is why people have such a hard time seeing
things on the computer. No matter where people sit in front of the computer
screen, it will always produce different colors; therefore, making it harder to
read the screen. People cannot, however, have a Laptop act as a server like a
Personal computer can. Laptop’s computers also do not have a mouse, because it
would be too hard to carry one around all the time. So Laptops usually have a
touch screen computer, a touch pad that is just below the keyboard, or a tiny
round button that sticks out from the keyboard keys, called a sensitivity
button. It is always amazing to see what new and improved technology companies
are coming out with today. The computer will always be with us, whether it is
for people’s personal use for fun, jumping on a plane with their Laptop by
their side, or just surfing the World Wide Web.
