Chapter 2 - Parts of Personal Computers


               This chapter is broken up into Hardware and Software, and several sections,
               since there are several different categories of hardware and software. First, we’ll
               examine the main hardware of a computer. From there we’ll move on to types of
               software. The last part of this chapter discusses the relationships and differences

               between hardware and software.

               That’s a lot of material to cover, so let’s get started!

               Computers have two main parts. These are:
                          Hardware
                          Software


               Hardware

               Hardware is the physical and tangible components of a computer. It is the part of
               the computer that can be seen and touched.

               Main Hardware Components of computer

               The hardware has four main components. These are:
                          System Unit
                          Monitor
