Hardware is the physical foundation of every computer system — the tangible components that make technology work. From processors and memory to hard drives, graphics cards, and peripherals, hardware determines speed, efficiency, and performance. Understanding how each part interacts helps you build, upgrade, or troubleshoot with confidence. This category explains hardware architecture in simple terms and explores how innovation drives the next generation of computing power. It’s where technical knowledge meets real-world application in the most hands-on way.
