The CPU- The brain of the computer
Bus width, speed and bandwidth
Cache Memory-Fast memory circuits
Word Size
Processing speed- the measurement of the CPU performance
The Power Supply and Drive Bays- it has batteries in the portable computers
The Motherboard-I has all the internal and extrernal connections

Data and program representation

Further explanation from wikipedia

video data- frames per second
Audio Data- Represented by sound samples
Graphic Data-Bits represent all images data
Coding systems for text-Based Data- ASCII,EBCDIC, and UNicode
Representing numerical data-binary numbering system
Digital data representation-0s and 1s
