The processor in a personal computer or embedded in small devices is often called a microprocessor. That term means that the processor's elements are contained in a single IC chip.
Some computers will operate using a multi-core processor a chip containing more than one CPU. A CPU is typically a small device with pins on it facing down in a motherboard. CPUs can also be attached to a motherboard with a heat sink and a fan to dissipate heat.
Processors are responsible for running the operating system (such as Windows, macOS, or Linux) on the laptop. They handle tasks like booting up the system, managing memory, and coordinating hardware components.
