A personal computer (PC) is a digital computing device intended for use by a single individual. It typically includes a central processing unit, memory, storage, and input/output peripherals such as a keyboard, mouse, and display. PCs are used for a wide range of tasks, including productivity, gaming, internet browsing, and software development. They have evolved from early desktop models to laptops, tablets, and hybrid systems, playing a key role in both personal and professional environments.
