English term or phrase: terminals

THE scene in a grey industrial estate in Solihull, in the West Midlands, looks like a typical factory floor. Security guards pace the premises as workers go about their tasks. Some sit at terminals completing forms on computers. In the canteen staff prepare for the lunchtime rush. The difference is that most of the people here are not in a job at all, but at an employment centre run by a private contractor—part of a bold government-funded project to get the unemployed into work.

Thank you!

Russian translation:компьютеры (см. аргументацию)

Explanation:
Оригинал содержит абсолютно избыточное уточнение: «Some sit at TERMINALS completing forms on COMPUTERS». Эта статья – не об информационных технологиях, так что предлагается простой вариант перевода: «Кто-то (некоторые) сидят за компьютерами и заполняют какие-то электронные формуляры».
