Description
PC hardware options change at a rapid pace, and it can be difficult to know which hardware is needed to match a specific computing need. In this course, Computer Fundamentals: Hardware, you will learn about internal and external PC hardware options to support intelligent decisions regarding the acquisition and upgrade of PC systems. First, you'll learn about PC peripherals that add functionality to a system. Next, you'll explore cable and connector types, internal PC hardware components, and storage devices. Finally, you'll examine which printing technology addresses various needs and you'll learn how to configure a multi-function printing device. When you're finished with this course, you'll have a foundational knowledge of not only PC hardware components, but also of when they should be used.

Course Overview
(Music) Hi everyone. I'm Dan Lachance, and welcome to my course, Computer Fundamentals: Hardware. There is so much computer hardware out there these days that sometimes it can feel overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be that way. By understanding when specific hardware components should be used, you can better address computing needs efficiently. Some of the major topics that we're going to cover include input and output peripherals, cables and connectors, internal hardware components and storage, and finally, printing and multifunction printing devices. By the end of this course, you'll have the skills necessary to identify existing PC hardware components. You'll have the knowledge required to choose hardware that best suits computing needs. Finally, you'll know which type of printing is best suited for a given situation. I hope you'll join me to learn about Computer Fundamentals: Hardware, here at Pluralsight.
