Basic Parts of a Desktop Computer
Challenge!
- Think about the desktop computers you've seen at work, school, the library, a store, or a friend's house. What did they look like? Were they all-in-one, or did they have a separate tower?
- Review the Keyboard interactive on page 3 of this lesson. Are there any keys you haven't used before?
- If you're using a mouse, flip it over to see whether it's optical or mechanical.
- Is your monitor LCD, LED, or CRT?
- If your monitor has control buttons, try adjusting the brightness and contrast.
