There are four main types of computers: supercomputers, mainframe computers, minicomputers, and microcomputers. Microcomputers are the most common and include desktop PCs, which are not portable, and portable computers like laptops, PDAs, handheld computers, and tablet PCs, which are designed for mobility and compactness. Within microcomputers, desktop PCs come in tower and desktop casings, while portable computers have their own power sources in batteries.
