Input Devices
An

input device is any hardware

component that allows you to enter
data and instructions onto a
computer. Six Widely used input
devices are the keyboard, mouse,
microphone, scanner, digital camera
and PC video camera.

Output Devices
An

output device is any hardware

component that conveys information
to one or more people. Three
commonly used output devices are a
printer, a monitor and speakers.

BIOS
Acronym

for basic input/output

system, the built-in software that
determines what a computer can do
without accessing programs from a
disk. On PCs, the BIOS contains all
the code required to control the
keyboard, display screen, disk drives,
serial communications, and a number
of miscellaneous functions.

Cost Effective Routes for I/O

Devices

Whether the use of a I/O device is for the office

secretary, the store manager or the home
entertainment buff and gamer. Input and Output
devices no matter their purpose have a number a
routes that these users can go to get the devices
for better than average prices. Most of the data
that I collected I obtain from browsing BestBuys
website.

-Home UsersHome Users can purchase a television with HDMI

inputs so that the T.V. can double as a monitor as
well.

Insigna 26 flat screen

HD
television with 2 HDMI
inputs
$522.99

LG 24 widescreen flatpanel
LCD monitor
$499.99

Continued
Home users can also purchase in bundles instead
of items individually. Such as a Mouse and
Keyboard bundle where you get both together
instead of buying them by themselves.

-Office Use (Secretary)Along with the home use the secretary as well could
take advantage of the keyboard and mouse
combo but along with that for document use in
the office she could look for all-in-one printer,
scanner and fax machine.

Brother All-In-One
laser printer,
scanner and fax
machine. $199.99

When compared to the

cheapest scanner, laser printer
and fax whose prices follow:
$75.99, $125.99 and $59.99.
The all-in-one is a much
better deal and price for office
use.

Store Manager
Store mangers if handy and price conscious would
probably think to look for the best prices on
equipment needed. If they were to look on the
internet for a new Bar-Code Scanner then they
would find there are quite a few bargains to be
found.

Scanners can be
found online from
$15.00 to $500.
