computer hardware

Computer hardware refers to the physical components of a computer system. This includes essential parts like the CPU (central processing unit), which acts as the brain, the RAM (random access memory) that temporarily stores data for quick access, and the hard drive or SSD (solid-state drive) that stores files permanently. Additional hardware involves the motherboard, which connects all components, graphics cards for video processing, and peripherals like keyboards, mice, and printers. Together, these elements work in harmony to enable a computer to function, run applications, and perform various tasks.
