For this project, I explored the main hardware components of a computer to understand how they work in everyday use. I learned the role of key parts like the processor, memory, and storage, and how they work together as a system. The goal was to build my basic digital literacy and understand how a computer functions as a whole.
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 8 computer
CPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1355U
RAM: 16.0GB speed 6400 MT/s
Storage: 477 GB (151 GB of 477 GB used)
Graphic Card: 128 MB
Operating system: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

I was surprised to realize how little I actually knew about the programs and devices I use every day. This section has really helped me understand PCs better, especially when it comes to device specifications and considering user needs; insights I will definitely keep in mind when it’s time for a hardware update in the future.
