I'm fairly sure it won't happen, but just imagine if Apple decided to get in on the handheld gaming device train. It could be quite a bit of kit. The processors are so efficient they might be able to add some active cooling and hike power consumption whilst retaining many hours of playtime. Speaking of which, Oliver, have you done a battery test on your new 17 Pro to see how long it lasts under gaming load?
