plural of computer
"The new computers arrived at the office earlier than expected, so we can start testing them today."
In plain English: Computers are electronic devices that let you store information and run programs to help you do tasks quickly.
"My children are always playing video games on their computers after school."
Usage: Use computers to refer to multiple electronic devices used for processing data or performing calculations. Do not use this word to describe people who perform tasks quickly, which requires a different term entirely.
Derived from the Latin computare meaning "to count," this term originally referred to any person who performed mathematical calculations before becoming an electronic device in the mid-20th century.
