For the new computer laboratory that will have 20 networked PCs and a network printer, you would typically need the following two types of computers:
1. **Client Computers (Workstations)**: These are the individual PCs that will be used by students and trainers for training purposes. They will be connected to the network and will run the necessary software for educational and training activities.
2. **Server**: A dedicated server may be required to manage the network, host applications, store data, and provide services to the client computers. This server can handle user authentication, file storage, and may also run network services like DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) or print services for the network printer.
In addition to these, the lab will also require a network printer, which allows print jobs from multiple PCs in the lab and should be connected to the network for accessibility.
