is a laptop computer a type of mainframe?

No.\n\nMainframes (often colloquially referred to as big iron) are large and "expensive" computers used mainly by government institutions and large companies for mission critical applications, typically bulk data processing such as censuses, industry/consumer statistics, ERP, and financial transaction processing.

Is it is justified comparision. Both serve 2 different purpose. Any way to answer your question i will say computer (preferably laptop).

That basicaly depends upon u'r application software if u talk about a desktop with good configuration.

A mac is a type of computer... what do you mean ?

Start -> Control Panel -> System\n\nA dialogue box will come up with details of your system hopefully including Processor type and clock speed.

Laptop, unless mine is an IBM build.

hey\n this will help\nSupercomputer\n        Supercomputers are the fastest types of computers. Supercomputers are very expensive and are employed for specialized applications that require immense amounts of mathematical calculations. For example, weather forecasting requires a supercomputer. Other uses of supercomputers include animated graphics, fluid dynamic calculations, nuclear energy research, and petroleum exploration.\n\nThe chief difference between a supercomputer and a mainframe is that a supercomputer channels all its power into executing a few programs as fast as possible, whereas a mainframe uses its power to execute many programs concurrently.\n   \n   Mainframe\n        A very large and expensive computer capable of supporting hundreds, or even thousands, of users simultaneously. In the hierarchy that starts with a simple microprocessor (in watches, for example) at the bottom and moves to supercomputers at the top, mainframes are just below supercomputers. In some ways, mainframes are more powerful than supercomputers because they support more simultaneous programs. But supercomputers can execute a single program faster than a mainframe. The distinction between small mainframes and minicomputers is vague, depending really on how the manufacturer wants to market its machines.\n   \n   Minicomputer\n        A midsize computer. In size and power, minicomputers lie between workstations and mainframes. In the past decade, the distinction between large minicomputers and small mainframes has blurred, however, as has the distinction between small minicomputers and workstations. But in general, a minicomputer is a multiprocessing system capable of supporting from 4 to about 200 users simultaneously.\n \nand try following link

A mainframe is a system or network of systems that is the main system for storing, processing info, it also feeds any number of terminals or systems which then send any info they have used or updated back to it so that the info kept on it is updated. That is a really basic idea of what a mainframe is, or used to be. I think the new name for a mainframe is a server..

you should use tn3270 protocol to connect to mainframe , for this reson there are many software like extrawin

ok well I don't know what you mean by this, but when determining the limitations of a computer look, and the amount of ram it has, the processor type and speed, and the size of hard drive it has.  Those are some key factors to determine how well a computer will perform.

A laptop does not have a video card, so no. The graphics are integrated in the motherboard.

Its just good. IBM and Wipro has still requirement for Mainframe guys. Try it out !!! Which institute... I think your friends can can help you more on that. All the very best !!!!

YES there is.\n\nThe Notebook rams are half the length of the desktop rams. And they are generally more expensive.\n\nThe Desktop Rams are normally called DIMMs and Laptop Rams are called SO-DIMMs\n\nHave a look at the the two different types on this website, \n\nhttp://www.corsair.com/corsair/valueselect.html

The primary computer equipment. Housed in a desktop or floor-standing cabinet, it contains such components as the motherboard, CPU, RAM and ROM chips, hard and floppy disks and several input/output ports.

Nothing.\n\nA multiprocessor system IS a multi-tasking operating system.\n\nBut a multi-tasking system isn't always a multi-processor system.

yes, if they have network capability - what kind of computers are you talking about?
