Computer hardware refers to the physical components of a computer system.

These are the parts you


can touch and see, and they work together to execute software instructions. Key categories of computer
hardware include:

1. Input Devices – Allow users to enter data into a computer.

Examples: Keyboard, mouse, scanner, microphone, webcam.

2. Output Devices – Present data from the computer to the user.

Examples: Monitor, printer, speakers, headphones.

3. Central Processing Unit (CPU) – The brain of the computer that processes instructions.

Made up of the control unit and the arithmetic logic unit (ALU).

4. Memory/Storage:

RAM (Random Access Memory): Temporary memory for active tasks.


ROM (Read-Only Memory): Permanent memory for essential system functions.

Hard Drive (HDD) or Solid-State Drive (SSD): Long-term data storage.

5. Motherboard – The main circuit board that connects all components.

6. Power Supply Unit (PSU) – Converts electricity into usable power for the computer.

7. Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) – Handles rendering of images and video.

8. Cooling Systems – Fans or liquid coolers to manage heat.
