| 50 | +## **Answers:** |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +1. Definition and Basic Functions |
| 53 | + 1. Input (e.g. mouse click or movement, keyboard, audio), Output (e.g showing result on the screen), Proccessing (calculating Result/Output based on input), Storage (Saving do Hard disk or Database) |
| 54 | + 2. Yes, because it includes all four functionalities to be considered computer |
| 55 | + 3. Same reason as smartpone: It has Input, Output, Proccess and Storage functions |
| 56 | +2. Types of Personal Computers |
| 57 | + 1. traditional workstation are large towers that you would customply build computer that includes most of computer parts except monitors and they are easily customizable and upgradabe, But All in onee units are pre build by large brands like Apple that incudes everything computer needs and you can basically plug a mouse and computer to it and start using it. Besided that often they include battries that makes them be able to run without being plugged in 24/7, and alos they very limited customization |
| 58 | + 2. Laptop is all in one portable unit that can be used as an alternative to tower pcs and it incudes all the feautures of tower pc, from harwdare devices like keyboard and mouse to softwareas like Windows/Linux. But tablet is an alternative to touch screen smartphone, but with larger sceen and same OS as smartphone |
| 59 | + 3. Two in One Laptop |
| 60 | +3. Key Component |
| 61 | + 1. Hardware is the physical components of the computer like motherboard, power supply, monitor, keyboard etc. |
| 62 | + 2. GPU is a specialized version of CPU that's been optimized for heavier processes like 3D graphics and Machine Learning. |
| 63 | + 3. Temporary storages are RAM and Cache, and permanent storages are harddisk and ROM |
