4 Parts

It has 2 parts: Hardware and Software. It has 3 parts: Hardware, Firmware and Software.

5.Tasks

It can perform many tasks. It performs limited tasks.

6.Cost to user

The user has to pay more for a computer. The user incurs lesser cost for an embedded system.

7.Peripherals

Computers have peripherals such as keyboard and mouse, display, printer, Hard disk drives, floppy disk drives, optical disc drives etc. Embedded Devices have peripherals such as Serial Communication Interfaces (SCI), Synchronous Serial Communication Interface, Universal Serial Bus (USB), Multi Media Cards (SD cards, Compact Flash) etc.
