A personal computer (PC) is a multi-purpose electronic computer whose size, capabilities, and price make it feasible for individual use.

PCs are intended to be operated directly by a end-user, rather than by a computer expert or technician.

Personal computers are forms of microcomputers, distinct from larger, more expensive minicomputer and mainframe systems.

Home computers were an early class of personal computers.

A laptop, often called a notebook or "notebook computer", is a small, portable with a "clamshell" form factor, an alphanumeric keyboard on the lower part of the "clamshell" and a thin LCD or LED computer screen on the upper portion, which is opened up to use the computer.

Laptops are folded shut for transportation, and thus are suitable for mobile use.

Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, as of 2014, there is often no longer any difference.

Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, Internet surfing using sites such as YouTube and for personal multimedia and home computer use.

Headphones (or head-phones in the early days of telephony and radio) are a pair of small listening devices that are designed to be worn on or around the head over a user's ears.

They are electroacoustic transducers, which convert an electrical signal to a corresponding sound in the user's ear.

Headphones are designed to allow a single user to listen to an audio source privately, in contrast to a loudspeaker, which emits sound into the open air, for anyone nearby to hear.

Headphones are also known as earspeakers, earphones or, colloquially, cans.

Circumaural and supra-aural headphones use a band over the top of the head to hold the speakers in place.

The other type, known as earbuds or earphones consist of individual units that plug into the user's ear canal.

In the context of telecommunication, a headset is a combination of headphone and microphone.

Headphones connect to a signal source such as an audio amplifier, radio, CD player, portable media player, mobile phone, video game console, or electronic musical instrument, either directly using a cord, or using wireless technology such as bluetooth or FM radio.

The first headphones were developed in the late 1800s from telephone receivers for use by telephone operators, to keep their hands free.

Initially the audio quality was mediocre and a step forward was the invention of high fidelity headphones.
