Yet another iMac idea

I think it should be added on if anything (both sold separately), it wouldn't look so good if it was bundled together like that.

....... i like the idea. mr. Dell would poop himself.
i would prefer just black ink for it though, i find that i could use a monochrome printer more and more as i go through black the fastest... let alone it would cut down on having to add extra room for other colors.
as for the physical limitations of it though, i see that as a long way off, i mean printers shake and vibrate, some fairly hard and violently, so perhaps it would damage the computer itself...
then you would also have people breaking the computer just trying to get the ink in... not so good.
a built in lazzzzzzer scanner under the bottom lip, right under the power would be kinda useful too.

No.
It would be a disaster. Who wants an inkjet bouncing around in the back of your computer. Printers jam and mess up all the time, and I'd hate to involve my computer in all that mess. It would have to have a slot to load paper, and it would increase thickness by way too much to make it worthwile.
Ummm...no. First, there are technical issues: people have vastly different printer needs. I just need a 3-in-1 (scan, print, copy) deal, very simple, nothing the least bit complex. Another customer might need a printer with alot more power. Secondly, this would be quite heavy. Even though the imac isn't portable, it is pretty easily moved. Not so with a big hunking printer on it. Thirdly, it would have to be designed so a person wouldn't have to get up to retrieve what they printed. Fourthly, i'm sure the imac would have to be redesigned somewhat. It would almost certainly lose it's tilting ability. A printer would mess up it. Just bad bad bad.
It was just a suggestion folks, don't kill him...
I would love to have a computer that seems like an earthquake when ever I have to print out a paper late at night.

or how about a printer with an imac on top??
your idea isn't totally crazy, but fitting a laser pritner on the back of an imac just wont work right now...where would you store the paper anyway?
I think it's a great idea.
And apparently most of the people here havn't seen how small printers can be.

To be fair, I don't think we're a million years away from an iMac with a built in 6x4 photo printer. It could be done, if Apple wanted to do it. But yeah, and Apple-style bluetooth printer tucked away somewhere would be much nicer.

I had the same idea last week! I think it might happen in the future, it would be kinda cool to just press Print and the paper slides out the bottom.
A+ for creativity.
