There are many different types of computers. Each one has a different primary function, though they all do relatively the same thing.

Computers

-Desktop

-Laptop

-Notebook

-Netbook

-PDA

-Tablet

Desk top computers are primarily used for regular use in one location, such as a desk, hence the name. they have a higher storage capacity than any other type of computer, they can also complete more functions at one time then others but they lack portability.

Laptop. a portable computer that is designed to fit on the lap (although many use them on a desk/table) it does near enough what a desk top does but is compact and light enough to be moved around.

Notebook similar to a laptop but even smaller, it can do many things a laptop and desktop can do except many do not have a dick drive meaning you can’t play cd's or dvd's on the, they also don’t have a high level of storage though this is ever increasing in newer notebooks.

Netbook. a netbook is similar to a notebook in size but does not give the same functions as it is usually used for emails and messaging, there generally cheaper than notebooks but still do not have a dick drive.

PDA. a device that fits into the palm of someone’s hand, it’s used to send email and keep diary’s but not a lot else.

Tablet. a tablet is relatively new invention that usually ranges between the size of and A4 and A5 piece of paper, the have a touch interface and no keyboard this creates a very simple way of using the internet. they are not cheap and lack in a dick drive and do not match the capabilities of any from the above bar the PDA.
