Any computer parts that you can actually touch are considered hardware.

Quick Scoop: What that means

When people say “any computer parts that you can actually touch,” they mean all the physical bits of a computer, like:

• Monitor, keyboard, mouse, printer.

• Internal parts such as motherboard, CPU, RAM, hard drive/SSD, graphics card, power supply.

• Cables, case, fans, and other accessories you plug in or mount inside the PC.

All of these are grouped under the single term hardware.

By contrast, things you cannot touch—like operating systems, apps, and games—are called software.

In many quiz or exam questions (and forum homework threads), “Any computer parts that you can actually touch are considered to be ___” has the expected one-word answer: Hardware.

TL;DR:
“Any computer parts that you can actually touch” = physical components = hardware.
