What is a Workstation?

A workstation is a special computer used to power applications such as video editing, graphics, 3D design, or other CPU/RAM intensive software. usually, desktop computers are not suitable for high resolution, 3D- design and video editing, and other technical tasks that require high system specifications. therefore for this purpose devices with better specifications called workstations are needed. A workstation can consist of multiple displays, programmable keyboards, high-quality speakers, and controllers.
Moreover, a workstation provides multi-tasking, high memory capacity, high resolution, and a faster processor than personal computers. Therefore workstations work faster than personal computers.
