A computer is defined by several key components that determine its power and performance:

1. Processor (CPU – Central Processing Unit)

• Known as the brain of the computer.

• Executes instructions from programs.

• The faster and more powerful it is, the better the performance.

2. RAM (Random Access Memory)

• Used to handle current tasks.

• More RAM means better multitasking.

• Low RAM can cause slowdowns when many apps are open.

3. Hard Drive or SSD

• Used for data storage (files, programs, system…).

• SSDs (Solid State Drives) are much faster than traditional hard drives (HDDs).

4. Motherboard

• The central platform that connects all components (CPU, RAM, storage, etc.).

5. Graphics Card (GPU – Graphics Processing Unit)

• Manages the display on the screen.

• Important for gaming, 3D modeling, and graphic design software.

6. Peripherals

• Include the keyboard, mouse, monitor, printer, etc.

• These are tools that allow interaction with the computer.

🔍 Note:
The power of a computer depends on a balanced combination of all these elements. A powerful CPU with slow storage or little RAM won’t perform well.
