Workstations
A workstation is a computer intended for individual use that is faster and more capable than a personal computer. It`s intended for business or professional use (rather than home or recreational use). Workstations and applications designed for them are used by small engineering companies, architects, graphic designers, and any organization, department, or individual that requires a faster microprocessor, a large amount of random access memory (RAM), and special features such as high-speed graphics adapters. Historically, the workstation developed technologically about the same time and for the same audience as the UNIX operating system, which is often used as the workstation operating system. Among the most successful makers of this kind of workstation are Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard, DEC, and IBM.
In IBM and other corporations, the term "workstation" is sometimes used to mean "any individual personal computer location hooked up to a mainframe computer." In today`s corporate environments, many workers have such workstations. They`re simply personal computers attached to a local area network (LAN) that in turn shares the resources of one or more large computers. Since they are PCs, they can also be used independently of the mainframe assuming they have their own applications installed and their own hard disk storage. This use of the term "workstation" (in IBM, sometimes called a "programmable workstation") made a distinction between the earlier "terminal" or "display terminal" (or "dumb terminal") of which the 3270 Information Display System is an example.

Server
In computing, a server is a computer program or a device that provides functionality for called clients which are other programs or devices. This architecture is called the client–server model. A single overall computation is distributed across multiple processes or devices. Servers can provide various functionalities called services. These services include sharing data or resources among multiple clients, or performing computation for a client. Multiple clients can be served by a single server, and a single client can use multiple servers. A client process may run on the same device. It can also connect over a network to a server to run on a different device. Example of servers may include database servers, mail servers, print servers, file servers, web servers, application servers, and game servers.
Most frequently client–server systems are implemented by the request–response model., i.e., a client sends a request to the server. In this model server performs some action and sends a response back to the client, typically with a result or acknowledgement. Designating a computer as server-class hardware means that it is specialized for running servers on it. This implies that it is more powerful and reliable than standard personal computers. But large computing clusters may be composed of many relatively simple, replaceable server components.
Home PC
A desktop computer is a computer that fits on or under a desk. They utilize peripheral devices for interaction, such as a keyboard and mouse for input, and display devices like a monitor, projector, or television. Desktop computers can have a horizontal or vertical (tower) form factor, or be combined with a monitor to create an All-in-One computer. Unlike a laptop, which is portable, desktop computers are generally made to stay at one location.
Notebooks
A notebook is a computer system designed for portability. It comes with a battery and typically measures 8.5 inches by 11 inches and weighs less than 8 pounds with the battery and weight-saver modules. Notebooks use flat-panel color screens of Super Video Graphics Array (SVGA) resolution or higher. They offer expansion through PC-Card technologies and have specialized integrated pointing devices.
