Home computer

Updated: 09/15/2024 by Computer Hope

More commonly called an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) computer, a home computer is any computer built by a large computer manufacturer and sold to end-users. Home computers are often powerful enough for standard home use, such as working with a word processor or playing computer games. Home computers often have several bonus features such as a monitor, printer, and extra software that helps complete the overall package.

A good example of a home computer is any desktop computer from Dell.
