The minicomputer has become less important since the PC has gotten so powerful on its own. In fact, the ordinary new PC is much more powerful than minicomputers used to be. Originally this size was developed to handle specific tasks, like engineering and CAD calculations, that tended to tie up the main frame.

Laptop Computer Laptop Computer is a small, portable computer enough to sit it on your lap. Laptop computers are more frequently called as notebook computers, though technically laptops are somewhat larger in size than notebooks in both thickness and weight. Portable computers run off AC power and also have the ability to run of battery pack for a few hours.

Monitor is a visual display unit, which shows images generated from the video output a computer. Computer monitor nowadays have two types. The CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) monitor which is a big, like a tube television, and consume a lot of space in a table; however, it is the least expensive monitor option. The LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) monitor is thin and saves energy, but costs more.

Speakers are external audio device which is commonly equipped with a low-power internal amplifier. The standard audio connector of a computer speaker is a 3.5mm (1/8 inch) stereo jack plug often color-coded lime green for computer sound cards.

AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator)The role of automatic voltage regulator's is to reduce the 5 volt signal to the lower voltage required by the microprocessor. Other prefers to have UPS (Uninterruptive Power Supply)which cost much than AVR but good enough because it has its own chargeable battery, enabling your computer not to shut down in case of power failure.
