The CPU, which stands for Central Processing Unit, determines how
much data a computer can handle at one time and how quickly
it can handle that data.
The main things to consider when buying a CPU are:
The number of cores needed – a processor with more than one core is able
to split up the processor’s tasks. This makes the processor faster and more
efficient.
The speed of the CPU – this will determine how fast the processor is able to
retrieve and interpret instructions.

Storage (Hard disk drive)
The hard disk drive (HDD) spec usually shows the size of the hard drive
which will determine how many items we can store on it (documents,
music, movies, programs etc.). Hard drives come in either GB or TB
storage capacity.
The HDD speed determines how fast data can be written and read to
and from the hard drive. This is called access time.
HDD is quickly being replaced with solid state drives (SSD) which are
faster.
The M.2 SSD has recently been introduced and in the next few years
might replace both HDD and SSD.
