Any personal computer is a complex electronic device consisting of component parts. All of them together form hardware . Drawing an analogy with living things, hardware is a physical body. To control it, the presence of something intangible is necessary: soul, mind, spark - in this case, this is not fundamental. In computer technology, such an intangible component is system and application software (software, software). Without programs, the computer appears to be an unnecessary pile of electronic components. All of the above is true for laptops, netbooks, many mobile devices, etc.
