Is a pc the same as an all in one computer?

A traditional desktop computer usually has a computer tower, monitor, mouse, and keyboard. An all-in-one desktop, however, tries to combine these. The actual computer will be inside of the (sometimes over-sided) monitor, and the monitor itself may include a touchscreen. You will still usually want a keyboard, rather that trying to use the on-screen one, and a mouse my be useful as well. You will at least be able to do away with the computer tower, however.


Why do computer manufactures prefer to build computers from separate standard components?

Cost, cost and cost.When you design a computer it is all about performance, and to sell it, the price need to be competive. If it is better than competitive, and you can make a device with more bells and whistles, better performance, better battery life, bigger disks and still to a lower price, the difference is the profit you can make. Since standard components are produced in large numbers, these are cheaper than those you design yourself, and make just those few you need. So standard components are preferred, until you elect to make something your competitive edge. This you spend your effort at making better and leave all the other things to standards.

What is the reason for a computer being called system?

In our modern world, we are so constantly surrounded with digital computing devices (computers) that we find them in everything. Indeed when someone uses the generic term "computer" they may now be referring to a calculator, an automotive part, a handheld PDA, a cellular phone or even the programmable thermostat in their home. As a result of computers being so widespread there has been a tendency for people to clarify when they are discussing a multi-purpose computer system as opposed to one of the many embedded computers found throughout our appliances and gizmos. The word "system" fills this role nicely as it more accurately reflects the fact that modern computers are an integrated system of several separate computers working together.

Are computer buses the components of computer?

Computer buses are the wires that send data around a computer. So, they are indeed components of a computer. However, in modern computers, the buses are a part of the motherboard. In older computer times, there were separate backplanes that everything else plugged into. So the name bus came from that period of time, and they were indeed separate components then.
