4. components
4.1. Processor- Is the logic circuitry that responds to and processes the basic instructions that drive a computer. Some processors are cheaper than others and the cheaper ones are a better fit for a family computer, the more expensive ones are better for people who play lots of games or just use their computer a lot.
4.2. Operating System- The software that supports a computer’s basic functions. There are a few different operating systems, like linux, windows, and mac os x, gamers should probably go with linux or windows, if it’s more of a work computer then you should go with mac.
4.3. Memory- Any physical device that’s capable of storing information temporarily or permanently. If you will be downloading large files or large games, then you would need more ram/ memory so you would be able to store all of it on your computer.
4.3.1. Included
4.3.2. Included
4.3.3. Excluded
4.4. Hard Drive- A high-capacity, self-contained storage device containing a read-write mechanism plus one or more hard disks inside a sealed unit. For someone who will be storing alot of information and data on their computers, a good hard drive is recommended, maybe even multiple hard drives.
4.5. Optical Drive- A disk drive used as part of the process of reading or writing data to or from optical discs. (CDs) This is not very important unless you are expecting to use a lot of CDs.
4.6. Monitor- A device used to display the video/graphics information generated by the computer. If you are looking for a monitor for gaming or for watching videos, then you would need a high definition monitor with a low reaction time.
4.7. Video Card- A device used to display the video/graphics information generated by the computer. If you are looking for a monitor for gaming or for watching videos, then you would need a high definition monitor with a low reaction time.
4.8. Sound Card- IC for producing sound on a computer that can be heard through headphones or speakers. This is not extremely important, but if you will want sound which is recommended then you will most likely want one of these.
4.9. Speakers- Electrical device use to make sound or music louder. This is a good device if you will be playing music or games where you want to hear better and clearer.
4.10. Keyboard- Set of keys that allow you to enter data into the computer. There are specialized keyboards for gaming and for people who spend a lot of time on their computer. Some specializations are backlights, palm rests, and reprogrammable keys.
4.11. Mouse- A hand-held input device that is moved about on a flat surface to direct the cursor on a computer screen, also has buttons for the clicking function. There are different types of mouses on the market, most are very similar but some are more comfortable or easier scroll with, it all depends on what you want/need.
