A desktop computer is an independent personal computer that is made especially for use on a desk in an office or home. The term is used mainly to distinguish this type of personal computer from portable computers and laptops (or notebooks), but also to distinguish other types of computers like the PDA, server or mainframe.
Desktops are currently the most affordable and most common computers, and are frequently used by businesses, schools, households and other organizations; they are used not only to produce text documents, or pictures and video but also to communicate them. Nearly all modern desktop computers are modular, meaning that the components can easily be replaced or upgraded. An older term, desktop computer refers to a computer whose case is oriented horizontally (usually, the monitor is placed on top of the case). Such cases are called desktops as opposed to towers. But modern terminology also includes tower in the general umbrella desktop term.
