It consists of hardware components such as a central processing unit (CPU), memory, storage devices, and input/output devices. The CPU acts as the brain of the computer, executing instructions and performing calculations. Memory and storage devices are used to store data and programs. Input devices like keyboards and mice allow users to interact with the computer, while output devices such as monitors and printers display information or produce results.
