Special purpose computers are designed to do specific kinds of jobs. A TV, a washing machine, an iPod etc. are all forms of computers, but they have only a small range of things that they can do, and are designed specifically to do them. A PC or a Mac and other types of computers, can do a huge amount of things. They can be used by different people for completely different kinds of jobs. They are general purpose computers.

Answer 3

A special purpose computer is a computer specifically designed to do one thing, be it calculate the position of the moon or play Chess. This type of computer can only do one thing, although it will do that one thing very quickly and very accurately.

A general purpose computer can be programmed to do a much wider variety of things (the same things a specialized computer, if programmed to) although it will be slower than a specialized computer designed for the same task.
