On the Basis of Brand

CLASSIFICATION OF COMPUTER ON THE BASIS OF BRAND

The computers can be classified into three categories on the basis of brand. They are:
a) IBM PC
b) IBM Compatible
c) Apple/Macintosh

IBM PC (International Business Machine Personal Computer)

IBM is the largest computer manufacturing company established in 1924, in the USA. The IBM PCs are developed by a company named, International Business Machine (IBM) Company so, the computers are known as IBM PC.The technology used in IBM PC is designed by the engineer of IBM Company. IBM PCs are more reliable, durable and have better quality but costly. It was specifically designed for professionals and scientific problem solvers.

(HSEB NOTES)

The IBM PC was not as powerful as many of the other personal computers that it was competing against at the time of its release. The IBM PC was created by a team of 12 IBM engineers and designers under the direction of Don Estridge of the IBM Entry Systems Division in Boca Raton, Florida.

IBM Compatibles

The computers that have some functional characteristics and principles of IBM computers are called IBM compatible. IBM compatible computers are developed by other companies than IBM companies using the technology of IBM PC. They are easily available and cheaper. Their parts are easily available in the market. They are also duplicate or assemble a computer. They are popular in the world.

Apple/Macintosh

All the computers manufactured by Apple Co-operation are known as Apple/Macintosh computer. It is a leading computer manufacturing company of USA. Apple computers are developed by Apple Co-operation which was established in the late 1970s in the USA. Apple computers are costlier than IBM computers.

These computers use their own software and hardware. Software developed for IBM computer can't run in apple computers and vice-versa. They are totally different than that of IBM computers, in terms of both hardware and software. They are available in a different capacity, cost and sizes. These computers are nearly 8% in the market. The first Macintosh was introduced on January 24, 1984, by Steve Jobs.
