The major resources for Computers/Phones/Tablets include:
1. CPU (heart/brain of your device)
2. GPU (graphics and display)
3. Operatonal Memory (where running apps and program reside)
4. Storage Memory (system files, your files, paging memory)
5. Network Connectivity
As devices age, battery capacity decreases, but the hardware
generally does not degrade. However, newer versions of the
operating system (OS) and updated apps and programs will
inevitably demand more of the hardware and memory slowing
things down.
Furthermore, neglecting updates, maintenance, poor
housekeeping, and inefficient use of devices will also
diminish user experience.
