I think we all are aware of the problems that Apple would have in gamers taking their rigs seriously, but Apple has done fairly well creating and/or filling niche markets so far. I can see a POTENTIAL area where they could really become attractive in making a very specific use-case all-in-one desktop. We know the common things that a gaming rig needs: decent cpu, killer GPU, enough RAM, storage isn't AS important but maybe they could reduce loading times (most people don't care about the minuscule advantage possible in this), wired internet connection, etc. . . But, there are things that people take into special consideration when planning a build for gaming AND streaming, and I could see Apple filling this space. Upgrade the CPU with more cores to handle the streaming tasks, ultra-quiet fan and cooling operation, put on some great built-in lighting for the streamer's face with a built-in high-quality webcam with some macro keys that dock and undock and you're already on your way to a machine that doesn't exist as of now. Even gaming laptops that have webcams often have compromises and are so loud it'd be obnoxious on a live stream. Add a stand that works for whatever the streamer would like to do with a high refresh-rate monitor and the all-in-one gaming and streaming computer suddenly looks like a better option than shopping around for lights, webcams, all of the stands for them, etc. I wouldn't even be surprised if there are people who want to start streaming and have plenty of money, but haven't done it because of the bother of getting the appropriate system with all of the extra gear required to start a high-quality version of a gaming stream. There are clearly software issues as of now, but those could all potentially be solved. If you had the option of buying an all-in-one that had not only the capability of doing all of the gaming, streaming and video-editing that you'd need (for streaming videos which aren't usually so high quality as to overlap with Apple's other creator-content systems), but also had the clean aesthetic of Apple I think it might be attractive to buy an all-in-one that provides the instant ability to go from unboxing to streaming in the time it takes to install a game. I am not saying Apple will do this specifically, but there are use-cases that could very easily be filled right now. I know of no other all-in-one system that includes things like lights, macro keys, webcam, and an appropriate high-refresh rate and resolution monitor with low input times. Even in the PC world it is possible to buy generic pre-builts with good specs, but unless you go for more expensive custom order companies even the prebuilts rarely come with everything you need. You often end up having to buy a separate monitor too, let alone webcams, lights microphones, etc. You could make an attractive package for gaming and streaming even at $5000. Honestly, I would LOVE to see LMG make an all-in-one no-compromises gaming and streaming desktop. High refresh rate, low-input 2K monitor, quiet cooling solution, 10gig ethernet connection, lighting for a streamer setup, high-quality webcam, macro keys, convenient peripheral input connections, ballin GPU, custom 3D-printed case and all on an adjustable stand. And, of course, that sweet-sweet RGB goodness. Do that for under $5000, and I'd be dang impressed.
