There is a big difference between a personal computer and a mainframe.

This kind of computer provides services for other computers on the network. It may store files, manage access to network resources like printers, or perform heavy-duty computational tasks. Since mainframes are usually accessed over a network, they do not usually need a keyboard, mouse, or screen of their own.
