First of all, Computer system, and it can pertain to any number of a very wide variety of systems but more familiar to the household consumer is their individual computer. A laptop or a desktop. As the name suggests a laptop is a self contained system that can fit on your lap. It contains a spinning magnetic disk called a harddrive to hold local files and has most of the other components integrated into the main circuit board or "motherboard" including memory and network controllers and a graphics card. Similarly a desktop has the same components. Given the difference in size a desktop is given more space to provide more powerful components and expansions. You could however be talking about a computer system in the context of a network or system of computers communicating over a local area network or even further into a WAN or a wide area network. As this question is vague. I hope I helped.
