System Unit; It is the brain of the computer. That is where a memory chip called the Central Processing Unit (CPU) is installed to carry out the installation’s arithmetic and logical operations. Based on how information is stored on the system unit, one can change and control programs easily and sequentially. Items such as videos, music, pictures and other internet apps can be downloaded on the computer for future use.
Mouse: The mouse is a peripheral device – that is an external electronic device designed in the shape of a mouse attached to the system unit to help in the navigation on the monitor as a program is displayed from the system unit to the
