There are many types of computers, from laptops, which use batteries and require only a minimum amount of power, to supercomputers, which are capable of billions of calculations a second and use so much power that their processors have to be continuously cooled in a bath of special fluids.

However, there are certain concepts that all computers have in common. Those concepts are defined and discussed in this book, and in Essentials of Computer Science II.
