Treffer: INSIDE YOUR PC.

The article explores the evolution of personal computers (PCs) from their inception to modern-day models, highlighting their significance in contemporary households. It notes that nearly 50% of homes globally have a computer, with the UK reporting 90% of households owning one between April 2020 and March 2021. The article traces the rise of home computing from the 1980s, marked by the introduction of affordable systems from companies like Apple and IBM, particularly the IBM Personal Computer launched in 1981, which set enduring design standards. It categorizes modern PCs into four types: office PCs, gaming desktops, workstations, and laptops, each tailored for specific uses and performance requirements. Additionally, it discusses the shift in processor technology, particularly Apple's transition to ARM-based M1 chips in 2020, which enhanced performance and efficiency compared to previous Intel-based models.
