The components of computer which can be touched are called hardware component without hardware components computer are not useful.
Technically yes, but not for very long, as the hardware components, most notably the processor, generate alot of heat inside the computer. If the internal heat of the computer gets too hot, it can actually MELT some of the hardware components, damaging the computer.
If you opened up your computer system you would see many different components that do different tasks and the computer will not work without them, if you can touch these objects then it would be classed as hardware (solid components),anything stored on your computer that you cannot touch is classed a Software. Here are a few essential hardware devices: CPU, GPU, PSU, RAM, HDD, FAN.
A computer needs instructions to perform a task. There are many aspects of a computer, such as all the internal parts, the peripherals, and the software components. A computer needs hardware to store and process information, and needs software instructions to do anything for us. If there was no software at all on a computer it would merely be a box of parts. There would be no software telling the computer to show information on the output, and no software to accept instructions from the input.

All hardware components are important. A computer cannot operate without a power supply, processor, hard drive, mother board, and all other pieces of hardware necessary for it to function. So they are all important.
There are no disadvantages of computer hardware, because without it, the computer would not be able to function, or even exist for that matter!
Software. Short and sweet. Hardware needs software to work.

That depends on what you plan on doing on the computer system, if you plan on running taxing programs, like games or graphic modeling programs, then computer hardware is extremely important, on the other hand if you are only intrested in surfing the internet and writing word documents then computer hardware is fairly unimportant.
A computer without an operating system will not operate.
You have to have some kind of software to operate a computer. For a computer to even know what to do when you power it on, there is software stored on a chip on the motherboard, called the bios. This tells the computer what disk drives and other components are connected so that it can do something. From the bios, the computer looks for software on a floppy, hard disk, or CD drive to run an operating system of some kind. It is possible to run a computer without software by typing commands in machine language. Even then, you need the software on the computer chip to operate the keyboard. The old VIC 20 and C64's operated in somewhat that way. To do anything you had to type in commands. Unless you are doing something very basic or sophisticated it is impractical to operate a computer without software
