Summarizing a short paragraph
The personal computer (PC) defines a computer designed for general use by a single person. While a Mac is a PC, most people relate the term with systems that run the Windows operating system. PCs were first known as microcomputers because they were a complete computer but built on a smaller scale than the huge systems in use by most businesses.

Hi,
I suggest your summary should be very brief, because the paragraph you are summarizing is itself very short. In a summary, you have to decide what is the important information and what can be left out. If you include everything, it's not a summary. How about this?
A PC is a one-person, general-purpose computer that is much smaller than the huge ones form

Hi,
Sure.
I think 'single-user' might suggest 'one person uses it at a time', while 'one-person' might suggest also that, but also suggest that the PC is owned by one person.
