Personal computer, often called a PC, is a computer used by one person at a time. PC's include all the major components of larger computers: microprocessors, memory chips, input devices, storage devices, and output devices. See the article Computer for a description of these components. Unlike larger computers, PC's are designed to fit on or under a desktop, or even on the user's lap.
