What's the difference in usage between 电脑diànnǎo (electric brain) and 计算机 jìsuànjī (calculate calculate machine)? As far as I can see, jìsuànjī is used in more technical contexts like 计算机 程序员 jìsuànjī chéngxùyuán (computer programmer) whereas diànnǎo is for more everyday uses like 个人电脑 gèréndiànnǎo (personal computer).
