So we've been hearing all sorts of news about the Apple conference this 20th. They are returning to the Mac, as the last few have been all about iOS, iPhone, iPad, iPods, etc. What updates and changes would you like to see to the Mac lineup? What do you think will happen? Any opinions and thoughts?

I'd love to see the Macbook Air in 11.6 inches, because it should be more affordable than it currently is. I would like to see a new GUI for OS X 10.7, because there have been rumors from before the launch of Snow Leopard that they were going to have a "Marble" theme instead of what we currently have, "Aqua."

I would also like to see a net top, but I hope Apple would name it something better than a net top, because net tops tend to be underpowered (so like a mini Mac Pro, but being like a bigger and faster Mac Mini).

I hope that if they do have some kind of touch compatibility that it wouldn't be like the Windows experience when it comes to touch.

I hope that they will update the hardware in their laptops, because I'm getting ready to come in the market for a new one.

I hope that Apple will surprise us with whatever they do, because I don't like rumors to always be true.

Apple each conference brings new innovations and gadgets that I think they are quite useful but reality is that is not affordable for most people witch is sad, the fact that I spend 300$ for an Ipod and 3 months later I have a new ver with many nice features at the same price is also kinda sad :P

The dollar sign goes before the digits.

A mid-range desktop somewhere between the Mac Mini and Mac Pro would be nice. Like a mid-tower with the specs of the 27-inch iMac. I'd also like to see the Macbook Pros get a graphics card capable of DX11 gaming under BootCamp.

I would love to see a new 11 - 12 inch MacBook Air. If it was priced between $800 and $900, it would be a definite sell for me. I have always loved the MacBook Air, but I would never buy one, when they cost more than a MacBook Pro. It would also be ultra-portable, which would be great for a student like me, living in two different homes.

I am also very excited to see what is going to be new in 10.7.

And I think if they don't do much to the MacBook Pros, they should at LEAST put an i3 in the 13''. I mean, labeling something as "Pro", but keeping an obsolete processor, just isn't right.

Yes, that would be nice if the MacBook Air came in at a smaller and cheaper design. I would sell my current MacBook Pro to get one when and if the time was right. There might be a little spiel on how the iPad is now being sold at: Target, Wal-Mart, Sam's Club, Best Buy, AT&T and Verizon stores. Old Steve might even pull out a few stats (that's a given at any of the conferences)

I expect to see a new MacBook Air, a preview of OS 10.7 and iLife 2011.

Anything else would be a nice surprise.
