Hardware - the parts that make up a computer. Hardware is what will cost you when you spoil, and not software. Whether what you may have or want is a simple computer or a gaming system, Hardware is what is needed before you can even claim the rectangular box as a 'computer'. "Devices" is the general word for hardware, for example, a device may be any part of your computer, such as the hard disk.
