A combination of hardware and software is typically referred to as a computer system. For a computer system to be a complete system it must have several specific components. For hardware, it requires a processor, an input device (such as a keyboard or mouse), and an output device (such as a monitor or printer). For software, a computer must have an operating system of some type, which is called firmware in some devices. Note that a touchscreen monitor can serve as both an input and output device.
