Explainer

Hardware acceleration is a feature that uses specialized hardware to enhance the performance of certain tasks like graphics, videos, and sounds.
It frees up the CPU, which results in much smoother and faster computer operations for a far superior experience

Additional Context
With the help of Gemini, I have been able to write about hardware acceleration.
This still involved my hand in structuring the words and not making it a complete AI generated submission.
