Explain computer components list

1.Central Processing Unit (CPU):

 *Often referred to as the "brain" of the computer, the CPU processes instructions, performs calculations, and manages data. It consists of the control unit and the arithmetic logic unit (ALU).

2.Memory (RAM):

 *Random Access Memory (RAM) is volatile memory that temporarily stores data and instructions that the CPU needs to access quickly. It's faster than storage but loses its data when the computer is turned off.

3.Storage: 

 *This includes various types of non-volatile memory used to store data long-term. Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) and Solid State Drives (SSDs) are common storage devices.

4.Motherboard:

*The main circuit board of the computer that connects all the components together. It houses the CPU, RAM, storage devices, and other essential components.

5.Graphics Processing Unit (GPU):

                  Laptop    Graphics card

                 Desktop   Graphics card 

 *Also known as a video card, the GPU is responsible for rendering graphics and accelerating complex calculations. It's crucial for tasks like gaming and video editing.

7.Cooling System: 

*Includes fans, heat sinks, and sometimes liquid cooling solutions to prevent components from overheating.

8.Input/Output Ports:

*USB, HDMI, audio jacks, Ethernet ports, and more that allow you to connect peripherals and external devices.

9.Optical Drive:

*Reads and writes optical discs like CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays (not as common nowadays).

10.Case/Chassis: 

*Encloses and protects all the components, also contributing to airflow and cooling.

11.Network Interface Card (NIC):

*Allows the computer to connect to a network, either wired (Ethernet) or wireless (Wi-Fi).
