I saw a news article that a Gaming PC will be announced at WWDC. I don’t need a gaming device but better cooling, and a bigger screen would be welcome.
 

Apple plans to announce a high-end gaming computer at its annual WWDC developers conference in 2020, according to a questionable and as-of-yet unsubstantiated report from Taiwan's Economic Daily News.


Apple’s Mac range was never targeted at gamers to begin with. While some of its products do feature dedicated hardware that allows for light to moderately demanding games that run just fine, Apple’s key customer base was always those that wanted a Mac for professional use. However, all that might change because according to a new report, a ‘gaming’ Mac could launch in 2020, giving PCs a possible run for their money, if the price is right.


.
Patently Apple reported Monday that the company is planning to launch a Mac PC centered around eSports. The PC is expected to be ultra-high-end and costs around $5,000. This is the first time any indication of Apple venture into the gaming industry has surfaced. Despite the price, the publication has stated that the PC will find takers and create a good profit margin for Apple.
Apple is expected to have all hands on board in designing and manufacturing the gaming PC including its assembly plant Quanta, chip suppliers such as TSMC, enclosure manufacturer Hongzhun and Kecheng, power supply manufacturer Delta and Lite-On, wire factory Liangwei and others.

I sent a tweet to Tim Cook suggesting a gaming laptop that wouldn't need to be thin a year ago.

Each of these is just reporting on the same rumor, not independently reporting, so the fact that multiple sites say it doesn’t lend it any more weight.
