Hardware is obviously the key to my computer product. I would like to think that it would be a quality computer but at first it may not have the best pieces since it will already be costly to have a little printer in it. Therefore the drive bay, power supply, sound card, video card, processor, and memory may not be the top of the line but I think they will have to be of decent quality to support such a computer that I want to create.

The USB Ports is where my computer will get tricky. We need to somehow internally put a USB type B connected with a peripheral so the printer can be connected and attached to the computer. Also after doing some research on printers I found that they are made of a print head, ink cartridges, a print head stepper motor, a belt and a stabilizer bar. The print head is the main part of the printer that uses nozzles to spray drops of the ink. The stepper motor is what is moving back and forth on the paper and the stabilizer bar controls the print head to make sure it is controlled. Then there is also the paper assembly part of the printer.

The hardware of the computer printer duo would be very bulky but if somehow we could downsize each component in the hardware it might be possible.
