I see so much of this stuff going on in ads for computers but I just don’t understand why one is better than another and why.

4nm/6nm for a typical consumer is just there for marketing fluff. There are advantages for a smaller number, but you as a consumer don’t get to choose the same CPU or GPU made by different processes. As a consumer, you would be better informed by understanding the performance of the CPU/GPU itself rather than the process it was made with.
CPU is the central processing unit and GPU is the graphics processing unit. Every computer has a CPU and GPU, although sometimes the CPU and GPU are combined. If you’re mostly playing games or video editing, you’re more interested in a better GPU. If you’re doing heavy excel work, the CPU is more important. You can find reviews and benchmarks on the CPU and GPU, which are generally a decent indicator of performance of a device you’re buying.
