So parts of a computer are basically:

* cpu
* gpu (can be integrated graphics)
* memory
* storage
* networking
* power delivery
* peripheral bus (usb for keyboard, mouse)

I think that's pretty much it...

On top, a framework laptop has something like:

* webcam wired in to motherboard
* microphone wired in
* fingerprint sensor wired in
* power button
* speakers wired in
* headphone jack
* expansion card for hdmi, usb
* keyboard backlight
* screen with backlight (could be touchscreen like framework 12)
* hinge sensor to turn off computer when closed
* fan to dissipate heat

Then there's some physical components too, like hinges, camera cover, microphone kill switch, light for communicating for example if power is plugged in
