Laptops and computers have quickly become part of our everyday lives. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m sure you\nhave asked the question, what\u2019s the difference between a laptop and computer? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They both do the same job. You can type papers, search the internet, and\nwatch videos of all your friends. And, that is true! The differences are mainly\nphysical. A laptop is generally lighter, easier to move, and uses less power.\nBoth laptops and computers can have LED or LCD screens (sounds familiar!).\nLaptops are typically more convenient and practical for people to carry around\nfor work or school. But computers are much heavier, and it would be silly to\ncarry one around (imagine the sight of that!). In fact, it\u2019s called a \u201claptop\u201d because\npeople can easily open it and put it on their laps. Computers and laptops are\nmade for different purposes but have many of the same parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laptop and\ncomputers, mostly, share similar parts. The following are the main, basic parts\nof a simple computer or laptop: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Input devices<\/strong>\nallow people to put data into the laptop or computer. You use many of these\ndevices, such as the mouse, keyboard, microphone. <\/li>
  • Output devices<\/strong>\nshows the result of data processing such as the display, speakers, and printer. <\/li>
  • A\nmotherboard<\/strong> connects all the important parts of a computer together. It\nis the most central and important part of the computer. <\/li>
  • CPU\nstands for Central Processing Unit<\/strong>. It is where the computer\u2019s wires and\ncircuits do all the work. Some people call the CPU the \u201cbrain\u201d of the computer.\nIt does the work for a computer to processes information.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The Mother of All: <\/strong>The motherboard connects all the components of the computer together.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    • RAM, or Random-Access Memory<\/strong>,\nstores data so it can be read extremely quickly. RAM allows programs to run in\nany order so you can chat, search, and watch a video at the same time. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      What’s the\nrelationship between RAM and CPU? When your computer has a lot of information to\ngo through, then that information gets sent to RAM. The CPU can quickly access\nthe information in the RAM. RAM stores data quickly, while a CPU processes it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Although laptops and computers look very different, they\nactually have the same pieces. These pieces are designed a little differently\nso they can serve their purpose better. But, they have the same parts!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
