  Hardware vs. software --------------------- Hardware refers to the computer's tangible components or delivery systems that store and run the written instructions provided by the software. The software is the intangible part of the device that lets the user interact with the hardware and command it to perform specific tasks. Computer software includes the following: [...] Mouse. A mouse is a hand-held pointing device that moves a cursor around a computer screen and enables interaction with objects on the screen. It may be wired or wireless. Keyboard. A keyboard is an input device featuring a standard QWERTY keyset that enables users to input text, numbers or special characters. Microphone. A microphone is a device that translates sound waves into electrical signals and supports computer-based audio communications. [...] Camera. A camera captures visual images and streams them to the computer or through a computer to a network device. Touchpad. A touchpad is an input device, external or built into a laptop, used to control the pointer on a display screen. It is typically an alternative to an external mouse. USB flash drive. A USB flash drive is an external, removable storage device that uses flash memory and interfaces with a computer through a USB port.

  ## What is the difference between computer hardware and software? Hardware refers to the physical, tangible elements of a computer system such as the central processing unit, hard drives, and graphics cards. These are the parts of your computer that you can see and touch. They are the components that are fitted together inside your computer case. [...] Understanding the parts of a personal computer is helpful when buying, upgrading, or replacing different computer components. A simple definition of computer hardware is “any physical parts or components that contribute to a computer system.” There are several different kinds of hardware inside a PC. Both desktop and laptop PCs include these types of hardware, though the size and type differ because of a laptop’s compact design. [...] without limitation all operating systems, web browsers, and network software), hardware, firmware, computer and telecommunications equipment and services, and all other third party products, materials and services necessary or useful for the proper download, installation, operation, access and/or use of the Software, and for paying any and all fees, costs and expenses associated with any and all of the foregoing.

  Computer hardware components include the CPU (central processing unit), memory unit (RAM), data storage drive (HDD/SDD), graphics card, sound card, network card, and cooling unit. Computer peripherals include the keyboard, speakers, mouse, and screen. Other devices may work alongside the computer, including printers, scanners, game controllers, and webcams. These devices may also be considered computer hardware. Additional Information ---------------------- [...] A computer is comprised of many physical components, known as hardware, that allow it to function. Software, on the other hand, includes instructions that allow the computer to run. Computer software is relatively easy to change with updates and application downloads. However, making hardware changes or upgrades requires the physical alteration of the computer. Usually, this requires opening the computer and switching out components.
