The four basic types of computers are as under:
Supercomputer, is a computer or collective computer system that can process enormous amounts of data, especially relative to other machines of its time (i.e., your iPhone would've been a supercomputer in the 1950s).
Mainframe Computer, is a powerful, multi-user computer that supports hundreds or even thousands of simultaneous users. Today, this is typically used in a commercial environment. In fact, servers – including database servers, Web servers, transaction servers, email servers and more – are all types of mainframes.
Minicomputer, is a midsize computer. In the past decade, the distinction between large minicomputers and small mainframes has blurred, however, as has the distinction between small minicomputers and workstations.
Microcomputer, is a small, relatively inexpensive computer with a microprocessor as its central processing unit (CPU). It includes a microprocessor, memory and minimal input/output (I/O) circuitry mounted on a single printed circuit board (PCB).
