Hardware items refer to all the physical, tangible parts and components that make up a computer system, electronic device, or machinery. This includes both internal components that are housed within the device casing—such as the central processing unit, motherboard, memory modules, storage drives, and power supply units—as well as external peripheral devices like monitors, keyboards, mice, printers, and external speakers. These physical objects are distinct from software, which consists of the intangible digital programs, instructions, and operating systems that instruct the hardware on how to perform specific tasks, process data, and execute user commands.
