PC Hardware Explained: The illustrated guide to personal computer components in 2022

Description

Modern computers are based on a modular design. This enables anyone with a screwdriver set to assemble a fully functional desktop computer that works just as good as a store-bought branded PC. Assembling is easy. Knowing which computer components will work together can be a daunting task for a newbie. This book solves that problem. It explains computer hardware using simple terms, illustrations, photographs and tables. The reader will be able to read the technical specifications of a PC and understand what it can and cannot do. The mumbo‑jumbo accompanying the sales pitch of a new computer will not seem so alien. Whether assembling a new computer from parts or buying a new desktop/laptop from the store, this 𝓕𝓤𝓛𝓛-𝓒🍅𝓛🍅𝓤𝓡 𝓟𝓐𝓟𝓔𝓡𝓑𝓐𝓒𝓚 will help making the correct choice. (There is a chapter with generic steps for building a desktop computer.) After the book has been read, it can serve as a ready-reference for hardware terminology.
