1. Hertz The speed measurement used for a CPU.

2. Capacity The amount of data a component can hold (measured in bytes).

3. RAM Stores the programs, parts of the operating system and the files currently being used.

4. RAM Stores the programs, parts of the operating system and the files currently being used.

5. Cores The number of processors in the CPU which run the fetch decode execute cycle at the same time.

6. Clock speed How many times the CPU can perform the fetch decode execute cycle per second.

7. Optical storage Data is written and read with a laser. CDs, DVDs and Blu-Ray are examples of this type of storage.

8. Solid state storage Uses microchips to store data instead of magnetised disks and do not contain any moving parts.

9. Durability How robust/hard wearing the storage device is.

10. Portability How easy the storage device can be used on other devices.

11. Read/write speed How fast a component can read or write data to another component (such as the RAM and hard drive).

12. Quad core 4 processors in the CPU.
