Computer Hardware

Computer hardware refers to the physical components that make up a computer system. This includes all the tangible elements such as the central processing unit (CPU), motherboard, memory (RAM), storage devices (like hard drives and solid-state drives), power supply, graphics card, and peripherals (like keyboards, mice, and monitors). Hardware is essential as it provides the infrastructure necessary for software to operate, allowing users to perform tasks such as computing, gaming, data processing, and communication. The performance and capabilities of a computer are largely determined by its hardware configuration, which can be upgraded or replaced to meet specific needs or improve performance.
