It's time to release your inner child... Start dreaming!

What are your dream Apple devices? Feel free to be as realistic or as far fetched as you want. You can even make your own price! This is pretty open to whatever you'd like.

I'll start:

MacBook Air Pro 17"
Backlit keyboard
External SuperDrive included
Sandy Bridge i5 2.7GHz
512GB SSD
8GB RAM
AMD Radeon HD 6750M
2GB VRAM

iPhone X
4.5-inch Retina display
ThunderBolt compatible
Backlit home button & LED notifier
Aluminum backing
1.5GHz processor
1GB RAM
14 megapixel camera with optical zoom

I'd pay top dollar for those. Too bad I might have to wait forever X3

Heck yes. That's what I want computing to be like. I don't want a touchscreen-only device that requires me to lug around a Bluetooth keyboard, I also don't want a non-touchscreen device with a keyboard, I want BOTH at the same time. Pretty much, a MacBook Air with a touchscreen, or an iPad with a keyboard. <-- in my perfect world

My dream device is my current MBP but:
-Much cooler (temp)
-SSD
-8GB RAM (Soon)
-1 more Thunderbolt / ability to connect 2 displays trough 1 TB (chain).

That it I think.

Ivy Bridge? Nah, make mine Haswell.

15" Air thinness (I love the mobility of 13" but HiRes screen real-estate FTW)
AMD Radeon HD 6970M Crossfire or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 485M SLI
RAM 16gb 1600MHz
dual 512 sata 6 SSD (packing it in MBAir thinness would be a miracle :D) plus premium access to the iCloud
OSX in a separate 32gb SOChip (instant boot)
14 hour battery at least (@ maximum brightness setting)
Dark Gray Liquid Metal Edition

Available next week if you can donate your liver. :D

15" Thinner than the current MBPs.
Enough room for 2 SSDs with SATA3 on each so I can put 2x240GB SSD in RAID0.
16GB of RAM.
Dual Thunderbolt ports so I can attach 2 external displays.
Whatever the processor is at the time.

Im really hoping for a newly designed MBP next year, had my current MBP since late 2008. The only one I probably wont get is the 16GB of RAM... Far too expensive and I probably don't need it.
Ive been eying up dual SSDs in RAID0 for a while now. I may just get them now and put them in my MBP in the SATA2 ports because the NZ Dollar is so high against the US... but then again the SSDs will probably be a few hundred dollars cheaper next year... ugh... decisions...

TBH the iPhone 4 is my dream phone. I really cant see what else they could cram into it that would make it any more amazing.

Double (or triple) the RAM so lesser chances of Apps crashing
64gb (32gb is measly but let's see how the iCloud comes into play)
8 megapixel and higher quality sensor (if Androids have em, why not Apple)
Slightly better battery and power management so a real multitasking implementation can work
Xenon Flash
Multi Core Processor (equivalent or surpassing the iPad 2)

I'm easy honestly:

Give me a Thunderbolt Docking Station. With a single plug I want to be able to "dock" my system to 2 external monitors, an external HDD, Ethernet, external USB DVD drive (love optibay!), etc.

That way I plug in 2 plugs (power and TB) and I'm at work at either my desk at home, or in the lab.

Simplify my life!

This may be the only thing that actually may be coming soon!

Not freaking soon enough!

I know, I feel your pain. I would love nothing more than that as well because currently when i have to take my MBP away from my desk I have at least 5 cable to disconnect. If i can reduce that to one TB and the power adapter, I'm sold
