Abstract
The evolution of computer hardware has been pivotal in shaping modern computing capabilities, impacting both personal and professional spheres. This study offers a thorough overview of essential hardware components, such as the central processing unit (CPU), memory, storage devices, motherboards, and input/output peripherals. It explores how advancements in hardware technology, such as the transition from mechanical hard drives to solid-state drives (SSD) and the development of multi-core processors, have enhanced processing power, speed, and efficiency. Additionally, the study discusses troubleshooting common hardware issues, hardware compatibility, and considerations for upgrading systems to optimize performance. Understanding computer hardware is essential for ensuring robust performance, minimizing downtime, and prolonging the lifecycle of computing devices.
Keywords: CPU, computing, tech landscape, RAM, GPU
