About Computer Hardware and Components
GoConqr OriginalWhat the page covers
The resources here follow the parts of a computer. A large group looks at input and output devices. The slide set Input Devices starts with the keyboard, the most widely used input device, and explains numeric and QWERTY layouts. The mind map INPUT AND OUTPUT DEVICES covers the mouse, keyboard, game controller and webcam.
Inside the machine
For the internal parts, look at the mind maps MOTHERBOARD and Motherboards. They describe the main printed circuit board that holds the CPU, RAM and the buses linking them. The flashcard deck Whats inside a computer gives short definitions of the motherboard and the CPU, and Features of a Computer explains processor speed in GHz and temporary memory.
Printers and storage
The two mind maps called Printers compare inkjet, thermal, impact and laser types, and look at speed measured in pages per minute. Storage is covered by Storage Devices and Memory devices, with Rom and Ram for the memory basics.
Where to start
- Read a slide set or mind map on a topic, such as Input Devices.
- Check your recall with a deck like Whats inside a computer.
- Take the quiz Input, output and storage devices, then return to any map where you slipped.
Some resources suit exam courses named in the listings, including GCSE Computer Science, GCSE ICT, IGCSE ICT, OCR Computing and A-level Computer Science. Others, such as Comptia A+, lean towards technician-style hardware support questions.
Place in the subject
This unit sits in the Computer Systems strand of Computing and ICT. Teachers can pick a map or quiz to set as a starter or a revision task. Open a resource that matches your topic and see how much you can recall before checking the answers.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the slide set Input Devices if you are new to the topic, since it begins with the keyboard and builds outward. If you already know the basics, go straight to the quiz Input, output and storage devices and see which areas need another look.
What do the mind maps cover?
The mind maps cover input and output devices, motherboards, printers, storage, memory, peripherals and the CPU. For example, the Printers maps compare inkjet, thermal, impact and laser types, while the Motherboard maps describe the circuit board that links the CPU and RAM.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, maps, flashcards and notes.
Which exams do these resources suit?
The listings mention GCSE Computer Science, GCSE ICT, GCSE Computing, IGCSE ICT, OCR Computing, Cambridge Nationals, A-level Computer Science and A-level ICT. Some also mention IT Essentials and A+. Check each resource against your own course, as they were made by community members.
What if I cannot find my exact topic?
Try a nearby title, such as CPU, RAM, BIOS or Peripherals, since the resources are grouped by hardware topic. Because the material is community-made, you can also build your own mind map, flashcards or quiz on the missing topic.
