Hardware:
Hardware is the word for a device or component that you can physically touch or pick up. Hardware are the physical parts that make up a device. A key piece of hardware in a device is the motherboard. Without the motherboard, the device won’t work. The base where all the other piece of hardware are mounted on, that is the motherboard.
Example of hardware:
CPU
A CPU also known as a central processing unit. The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is responsible for interpreting and executing most of the commands from the computer's hardware and software.
The CPU could be considered the "brains" of the computer. It is basically just a processor but vital.
Motherboard
The motherboard is a printed circuit board containing the principal components of a computer or other device, with connectors for other circuit boards to be slotted into.
Internal and External Hardware:
Internal and External Hardware:
Internal hardware are all the components INSIDE a computer such as the motherboard and the CPU. Examples of external hardware are the keyboard and the mouse. So any hardware outside the computer is the external hardware.
