The Insides of a Computer - What everything means
- 5 Comment
Conclusions:
I hope that this short article has given you some easy but detailed information about the components of a computer. While this was written for PC’s, the inside of a Mac is very similar. The major difference between the two computers are the parts and where they are manufactured. PCs rely on 3rd party vendors while Macs are made by Apple themselves (minus the CPU which is Intel).
But the general idea of how the parts integrate and work together is still the same. And remember, if there are any questions about anything related to this article, please post a comment or make a post on our forums.
