Hi Jez usually you will be asked 'what device are you using' meaning the laptop, computer, mobile etc name that it is ie Dell, Hp Packard etc, not too sure about 'device in a computer', not heard that one I'm afraid. Hope you get the answer you are looking for though.

Usually people mean your phone or tablet when they say "device".

But a device can also be a card or accessory you add to your computer. If Windows doesn't know how to talk to a printer, you would add a bit of software called a device driver to provide the ability.

because it is a device , like cellular phone on ipads are also called devices .simple english , they fall in the category of device , or dont you speak english .

Most computers have hardware devices like centra; processor unit or CPU, graphics processing unit or GPU, a display, USB ports, hard disks, many have DVD drives, some have wireless adapters, most have ethernet wire adapters, sound adapters, to name just a few.

It isn't necessarily in the computer. It can be something connected to the computer such as a printer, wireless adapter, external hard drive, etc.

"device" is short for electronic device such as computer, laptop, tablet, cell phone, gaming platform, etc.

A computer has many devices.  Care to be more specific?
