Computer Hardware

Computer hardware refers to the physical components that make up a computer system. It includes the tangible parts of a computer, such as the motherboard, central processing unit (CPU), random access memory (RAM), storage devices (like hard drives and solid-state drives), power supply units, and peripheral devices (like keyboards, mice, and printers). These components work together to perform computing tasks and execute instructions, forming the foundation upon which software applications operate. Unlike software, which consists of coded instructions and applications, hardware is the essential machinery that enables a computer to function.
