Oheislaitteissa

Oheislaitteissa refers to peripheral devices in Finnish. These are auxiliary hardware devices that connect to a computer or other information processing system to expand its capabilities or provide additional functionality. Unlike the core components of a computer such as the central processing unit (CPU) or random-access memory (RAM), which are essential for basic operation, peripherals are generally considered optional.

Peripheral devices can be broadly categorized into input devices, output devices, and storage devices. Input devices allow users to enter data and commands into the computer, examples include keyboards, mice, scanners, and microphones. Output devices display or present information processed by the computer to the user, such as monitors, printers, and speakers. Storage devices are used to store data, both temporarily and permanently, with examples like external hard drives, USB flash drives, and memory cards.

The connection of oheislaitteissa to the main system can be achieved through various interfaces, including USB ports, HDMI, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. The specific types and number of peripherals a computer can support depend on its internal architecture and the available ports. The integration of these devices is crucial for tailoring a computing system to specific user needs, whether for personal use, professional work, or specialized applications. The term encompasses a wide range of hardware that enhances the user experience and the overall utility of a computer system.
