Understanding Laptop Hardware
A laptop is a compact personal computer designed for mobility, combining all the essential components of a desktop system into a single, portable device. Knowing the key hardware parts helps users better understand how laptops work and how to maintain or upgrade them.
1. Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The CPU is the brain of the laptop. It processes all instructions from software and hardware. Modern laptops often use processors from Intel (Core i3, i5, i7, i9) or AMD (Ryzen 3, 5, 7, 9). More cores and higher clock speeds mean faster performance.
