The main classes of computer components include the central processing unit (CPU), motherboard, memory (RAM and ROM), storage devices (hard disk drive, solid-state drive, and external devices), input/output (I/O) devices (keyboard, mouse, monitor, printer), and networking components (modems, routers). The CPU acts as the brain of the computer, processing data and executing instructions. The motherboard connects all of the components and provides power to the system. Memory stores data and instructions temporarily or permanently, while storage devices hold data and programs for long-term storage. Input/output (I/O) devices allow users to interact with the computer, while networking components connect the computer to other devices and networks.
