What is Computer Definition of Computer : Computer is an electronic device that is designed to work with Information.The term ‘computer is derived from the Latin term ‘computare’, this means to calculate.Computer can not do anything without a Program.it represents the decimal numbers through a string of binary digits. The Word 'Computer'usually refers to the Center Processor Unit plus Internal memory. Computer is an advanced electronic device that takes raw data as input from the user and processes these data under the control of set of instructions (called program) and gives the result (output) and saves output for the future use. It can process both numerical and non-numerical (arithmetic and logical) calculations.The basic components of a modern digital computer are: Input Device,Output Device,Central Processor. A Typical modern computer uses LSI Chips. Charles Babbage is called the "Grand Father" of the computer.The First mechanical computer designed by charles Babbage was called Analytical Engine. It uses read-only memory in the form of punch cards. Four Functions about computer are: accepts data Input processes data Processing produces output Output stores results Storage Input (Data): Input is the raw information entered into a computer from the input devices. It is the collection of letters, numbers, images etc. Process: Process is the operation of data as per given instruction. It is totally internal process of the computer system. Output: Output is the processed data given by computer after data processing. Output is also called as Result. We can save these results in the storage devices for the future use.

Alternatively referred to as a notebook, a laptop is a portable computer that is about the size as a large binder and has the same abilities as a standard home desktop computer, but is small enough for easy mobility. Portable computers run off AC power and also have the ability to run off a NiMH, NiCad, or other battery pack for a few hours. As can be seen from the Dell Latitude D610 notebook image to the right (courtesy of Dell Inc.), the computer has everything needed for normal operating; a LCD, keyboard, and touchpad. Although a laptop can have multiple external devices and cables connected to it, no external connections are required during normal
