There are 7 types of computer , Microcomputer
Game consoles , Mobile computers , Mainframe
computer , Supercomputer , Mini computers and
Embedded computers
Most of the computer are categorized on the basis
of performance factor such as how many users it
can support simultaneously and how fast it is
As an example supercomputers can do billions of
task in one go.

A mini computer is a intermediate between
micro computer and mainframe computer in
size , speed and capacity
 Bigger than minicomputer smaller than
mainframe computer
 Can support multiple input- output devices
