Study Notes
Computer Peripherals and Core Computing Unit
- Computer peripherals are external devices connected to the computer to enhance its functionality, such as keyboard, mouse, scanner, printer, speaker, and monitor.
- The core computing unit consists of the central processing unit (CPU), memory (RAM), and storage devices (hard drive or solid-state drive).
Role of Peripherals and Case
- Adding more peripherals to a computer enables it to perform additional tasks, such as printing documents, scanning images, and playing audio.
- The case surrounding the core computing elements protects the internal components from dust, moisture, and physical damage, while also providing a structure to mount and organize the components.
Excluded from Core Computing Unit
- The power supply unit (PSU) is not considered part of the core computing unit, although it is an essential component that provides power to the computer's internal components.
