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 BestBuy’s website.
 -Home Users-
Home 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 LG 24” widescreen flat-panel

LCD monitor
television with 2 HDMI inputs $499.99
$522.99
 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.

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
Brother All-In-One
office use.

scanner and fax
machine. $199.99
 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.
