Classifications of computer?

The question is somewhat vague.

The first classification of computers tends to be 'Analogue' or 'Digital'. Other questions on answers.com discuss the difference between these.

Within digital computers there are four broad classification's, these are based on the very different electronic constructions used to interface the processor (CPU) to the components such as RAM (memory) and other devices used for storage, communications etc.

From most powerful to least:

...super computer

...mainframe

...minicomputer

...microcomputer

Microcomputers are further subdivided by size/packaging, the distinction is not always clear:

...personal computer - a main box containing all the electronics with external monitor, keyboard etc. normally connected via wires.

...laptop or notebook computer - a single easily portable box with everything built-in and able to run on internal batteries.

...netbook - a small notebook with limited functionality when not connected to an external network (e.g. the Internet)

...integrated - a microcomputer built into some other 'intelligent' device and not directly usable as a computer

What wattage of inverter would you need to power a 100-240volt 1.7 amp laptop?

Are you sure that you're not reading the power output of the power adapter, as compared to the amperage it draws on A.C.? I seem to remember using my laptop in a truck with just a 40 watt inverter and it worked just fine.

Is RFID an input or output device?

RFID tags are polled input devices. The computer must send out a radio frequency polling request and any RFID tags that recognize the request transmit back their reply code (including ID info.).
