Topic: Video-in for a laptop?

[WindAndConfusion]

See subject. I'm looking for the following features:

• Composite and S-video inputs.
• Connects via USB or Firewire, preferably Firewire. (ExpressCard would also work.)
• Not prohibitively expensive (<$200, hopefully much less).
• Preferably, it works with OS X.
• Preferably, it does not make video look like ass.
• Optionally, a TV tuner.
• Optionally, an ATSC tuner or some other HD input.

Does something like that actually exist? Newegg lists a bunch of video-in cards, but I understand most of them suck and/or cost well in excess of $300.

You want a sub $200 laptop with composite and s-video in with a tv tuner and a firewire port?

I think he just wants a usb/firewire device to connect to his laptop for under $200 which is much more reasonable. If you can't find it easily on Newegg I'm going to assume it doesn't exist.

I can find plenty of products similar to what I want on Newegg, I just can't find something that is what I want on Newegg.

And ren is right, what I want is an external video converter box that will connect to a laptop - not a laptop itself.
