Comment on What a computer really is by Doom-the-wolf
the power cable is internal, the cd readers are magnetic and, it's hard to change them, and it's "main memory" isn't installed on a non-rotating chip thing like that
Now I don't know what you're talking about. You said your computer didn't work the way I described, which I understood meant that your computer didn't have any one of the parts I mentioned in the slideshow. I also don't know what you mean by a non-rotating chip.
Did you mean to say that the parts weren't removable? They are. In a standard desktop computer, CD readers, graphics cards, power supplies, video output, and even the CPU and main memory can be removed and replaced. Laptops are a bit different. Some of the laptop components are welded onto the board.
What doesn't change is the fact that your computer's fundamental parts are the CPU and main memory, which work in a similar way to how I described in the second half of the slideshow.

well, yeah they both use logic gates
i am barely using any solid state memory, other than what operated the disk, witch operates the hard drive

It's more than just logic gates. It's about the instruction formats, the processor segments, the control unit, ALU, register bank and other parts. It's about the flow of information between main memory and the CPU. Everything besides the CPU and main memory are secondary.
but it is still
mainly based on logic gates/transistors

Yes it is, but in my slideshow, I explained how the transistors work together to execute instructions.
