Answer to Question 1
The different types of computers and their primary use are:
Desktops: personal computers that are not intended to be portable. They usually have separate components that include a system unit, keyboard, monitor, and mouse, but some have the system unit integrated into the monitor.
Mobile computers: smaller computing devices that are designed to be portable with all components encased together. There are several types of mobile computers. Laptop is a self-contained unit that is the traditional portable computer; ultrabook is a thinner and lighter type of laptop that does not include an optical drive and typically has a solid-state drive as an internal storage device. 2-in-1 PC is similar to a touchscreen laptop, but offers the capability to convert into a tablet-like device.
Tablets: A mobile computer integrated into a touch-sensitive screen.
Smartphones: A device that is used to make phone calls over a cellular network, that also has input, output, processing, and storage capabilities. Smartphones are equipped with a variety of sensors and other technologies such as GPS, cameras, microphones, and speakers. They are distinguished from cell phones due to their ability to connect to the Internet.
Supercomputer: Extremely powerful computers that contain massive parallel and multi-core processors used in processing computationally intensive tasks.
Mainframe: Fast and powerful computer systems that are frequently used to manage large amounts of data, computations, and transactions from multiple users at the same time.
Embedded computer: Specifically designed computer chip that resides in another device to perform a specific task.
