A '''personal computer''', often abbreviated as '''PC''', is a self-contained [[human]] computer usable by only one person at a time. It may be used as a home computer, or may be found in an office, school, and likely connected to a local network.

Humanity has multiple types of personal computers:
*[[Portable computer]]
*[[Data pad]]
*[[TACPAD]]
*[[Chatter]]

==Halo on the PC==
''[[Halo universe|Halo]]'' was originally intended for the PC and [[Wikipedia:Macintosh|Macintosh]], as a sequel to [[Bungie]]'s popular game ''[[Wikipedia:Marathon Infinity|Marathon: Infinity]]''. However, with the release of the [[Xbox]], and Microsoft's purchase of Bungie Software, the game was scrapped and ported as a first-person shooter on the Xbox.

In 2003 however, Bungie along with Gearbox Studios shipped a PC version of ''Halo'' which became popular with many PC gamers. However, many were disappointed with the netcode, and people complained that the port was poorly designed, causing lag in online play. [[Halo: Combat Evolved (PC port)|''Halo: Combat Evolved'' for PC]] was created to fix these problems, eventually a program called ''[[Halo: Custom Edition]]'' followed.

''[[Halo 2]]'' was ported to the Windows Vista operating system in 2007, titled [[Halo 2 (Windows Vista)|''Halo 2'' for Windows Vista]].

''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' was [[Halo: The Master Chief Collection#PC release and Halo: Reach|ported]] to the PC via the [[Microsoft Store]] and [[Steam]] in 2019-2020.
