Computers are in the daily lives of many individuals whether they are using them for work, or they are just being used for a quick movie, but do you ever think about how that certain computer is actually working or what the computer consists of? In this blog I am going to be informing you on the different components that an ordinary laptop has and how they contribute to the mysterious ways that an everyday laptop operates.
The first component that I am going to be describing is called the Central Processing Unit or CPU. The CPU is in charge of operating the system and every application that you use. Better known as the controlling component of your laptop. The faster the CPU the faster your laptop will be able to do more tasks simultaneously.

In reference to memory in your laptop, your laptop uses its Hard Drive. The laptops Hard Drive consists of memory and space that allows individuals to install larger programs. The more gigabytes of storage in the hard drive, means more space for more items.

In the System Memory of a laptop , the laptop uses memory in order to make the computer run faster. By using the System Memory the computer is allowed to not only run many programs at a period of time, but also allows the computer to be able to work with larger multimedia programs.

In order for laptop display, laptops use liquid crystal display (LCD) screens. These screens are able to display clear vivid imagery by what is called resolution, which refers to when an image matches the exact number of pixels on the screen. The higher the resolution, the better the laptop imagery will display.

The Optical Drive in a laptop is the laptops DVD or CD drive. DVD+/-RW drives allow computers to read and write blank DVDs and CDs in all formats. These drives are handy because they allow individuals to write and play as many DVDs and CDs as they want. Some computers may not have them due to space, but a good majority of today’s computers do.

Computer Export Ports vary depending on the computer, but most computers consist of at least a couple USB ports, also a VGA port that is used in order for a computer to connect to a separate monitor or projector.

Networking in a laptop works by allowing you to connect to the internet through a Ethernet cable. Wireless connections are however seen in today’s newer additions of laptops. Many people now also use home wireless networks which allow families to use their devices in any place of their house.

Laptops lastly consist of a Video Card, also called graphics card, that allows laptops to generate graphics in a display. All CPU devices have a graphic card, but the Video Card has an extra device that takes the load off of the processor. This allows a computer to smoothly stream a video or movie.
