Super computer's are generally reserved for government, organizations, and companies due to their high cost and non-practicality for normal everyday use.
That being said any computer that you either buy from a store or build yourself will both be less powerful and cheaper then a super computer. Less powerful is in regards to computations speed.
It depends on what technical specifications you are after. You can buy a mini netbook for around $400AUD which is cheaper than the price of any desktop but has less specificatons. Desktops start at around $700AUD.
they cost less and are therefore better because they are cheaper
Hybrid computers use alot less energy than super computers but do not run as well. usally hybrid computers are used as servers for they are capable of many things but are always running therefor more efficent
Computers have changed the ways in which people work in various ways. For example, people keep hard copies a lot less now.
Even though they both use basically the same parts Dell computers have been less reliable than HP computers. I would not recommend either brand. Here is the latest reliability ratings for laptops as of December 2012. #1 is the most reliable and #9 is the least reliable.AppleSonyAsusLenovoSamsungToshibaHPAcerDell
The difference in a telescope made for a child it that is usually smaller and and less powerful. They also tend to be less destructible and have less options. They are definitely cheaper than one made for an adult.
It preditcs that computers of the future will be more powerfull... and they will quickly become less expensive as newer more powerful computers will be built, This can be further explained by the following example: Your state of the art powerful rig (computer) will loose its value to less than its half in about 3-4 years time... i hope you get the picture and understand moore's prediction... best of luck!
"Weaker" means less powerful.
Smaller processors are almost always cheaper, and use less electricity. Using a large number of processors in parallel also gives some redundancy, since a single processor node failing will not stop work from being performed.
After as fares will be cheaper then and there will be less people flying.
Computers in the 1950s were much slower compared to modern computers. They had processing speeds measured in kilohertz (thousands of cycles per second) or even less, whereas today's computers commonly operate in gigahertz (billions of cycles per second). The average processing power was limited by the technology of the time, with rudimentary transistor-based machines that were much less powerful than today's silicon-based processors.
Originally, the distinction was made between personal computers which were relatively smaller, less powerful machines used by individuals at their homes, and business computers used by big companies, which were larger and more powerful. As computing technology has advanced over the decades, personal computers are now much more powerful than the previous business computers used to be, and now most businesses use exactly the same kind of computers that individuals use. However, there are some businesses that still require more powerful computers than the personal computer. Banks, for example, have greater needs. There are also special computers used for scientific research.
