A personal computer (PC) is any general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities,

and original sales price make it useful for individuals, and which is intended to be
operated directly by an end user, with no intervening computer operator. A personal
computer may be a desktop computer, a laptop computer, tablet computer or a palmtop.

A USB flash drive consists of a NAND-type flash memory data storage device integrated
with a USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface. USB flash drives are typically removable
and rewritable, much smaller than a floppy disk, and most weigh less than an ounce (30
g).[1] Storage capacities can range from 64 MB to 256 GB[2].

A hard disk drive is a non-volatile storage device that stores digitally encoded data on
rapidly rotating platters with magnetic surfaces. Strictly speaking, "drive" refers to a
device distinct from its medium, such as a tape drive and its tape, or a floppy disk drive
and its floppy disk.
Random-access memory is a form of computer data storage. Today, it takes the form of
integrated circuits that allow stored data to be accessed in any order (i.e., at random).

A motherboard is the central printed circuit board (PCB) in some complex electronic
systems, such as modern personal computers. The motherboard is sometimes
alternatively known as the mainboard, system board, or, on Apple computers, the logic
board.
A Central Processing Unit (CPU) or processor is an electronic circuit that can execute
computer programs, which are actually sets of instructions.. The form, design and
implementation of CPUs have changed dramatically since the earliest examples, but their
fundamental operation remains much the same.

An expansion card (also expansion board, adapter card or accessory card) in computing
is a printed circuit board that can be inserted into an expansion slot of a computer
motherboard to add additional functionality to a computer system. One edge of the
expansion card holds the contacts (the edge connector) that fit exactly into the slot..

an optical disc drive (ODD) is a disk drive that uses laser light or electromagnetic waves
near the light spectrum as part of the process of reading or writing data to or from optical
discs. Some drives can only read from discs, but recent drives are commonly both
readers and recorders. Recorders are sometimes called burners or writers. Compact
discs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs are common types of optical media which can be read and
recorded by such drives.

A Compact Disc (also known as a CD) is an optical disc used to store digital data. It was
originally developed to store sound recordings exclusively, but later it also allowed the
preservation of other types of data. Audio CDs have been commercially available since
October 1982. In 2009, they remain the standard physical storage medium for audio.
a keyboard is an input device, partially modeled after the typewriter keyboard, which
uses an arrangement of buttons or keys, to act as mechanical levers or electronic
switches. A keyboard typically has characters engraved or printed on the keys and each
press of a key typically corresponds to a single written symbol

An input device is any peripheral (piece of computer hardware equipment) used to

provide data and control signals to an information processing system (such as a
computer). Input and output devices make up the hardware interface between a computer
as a scanner or 6DOF controller.

a mouse (plural mouses, mice, or mouse devices) is a pointing device that functions by
detecting two-dimensional motion relative to its supporting surface. Physically, a mouse
consists of an object held under one of the user's hands, with one or more buttons. It
sometimes features other elements, such as "wheels", which allow the user to perform
various system-dependent operations, or extra buttons or features can add more control or
dimensional input

A monitor or display (sometimes called a visual display unit) is a piece of electrical

equipment which displays images generated by devices such as computers, without
producing a permanent record. The monitor comprises the display device, circuitry, and
an enclosure. The display device in modern monitors is typically a thin film transistor
liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD), while older monitors use a cathode ray tube (CRT).
