No DVR for Mac-mini... big bag of suck...

Mar 1, 2006 12:14AM PST

if the mac-mini also had HD DVR capabilities... dood, i would be all over it.
As a matter of fact, this is what i want from Apple:

-About the size of a mac-mini
-built in speakers (so that makes it a bit bigger, but dont go crazy)
-Dock for the ipod
-remote with front row
-HD DVR capabilities (two tuners would be nice)
-NO SHARED RAM for video
-Fast enough to do basics... games would be nice, but doubt that is feasible with the size
-WIFI, bluetooth ...all that stuff
-optional accessory for a wireless keyboard that has a built in mouse pad, or trackball
-VOIP phone accessory would be cool too


Minimal wires, minimal space but bring it all together

Man... wouldn't you think that Apple would pay to have all of these suggestions bundled together...

anywhoo...
peace

Mar 1, 2006 3:16AM PST

i can build a mac mini mod with half the things on the list just cos apple couldnt give it to me doesnt mean that u cant build it


IF U BUILD IT THEY WILL COME


besides i think other people will make it. fill the void.. write the code and make it happen.. people who us macs are so.. balls to the wall about things ... well people who use computers are very balls to the wall.

at one point in my life, yes, i would have just added these things to the mac mini and have my fill. but nowadays, i dont have time for that and plus, i want it in a nice package, like how the mini looks. dont want a ton of wires, or extra powersupplies and fans, or whatever...

i think alot of people want a device like the one i state, but dangit apple...or anyone else really, give it to me!! (but its gotta be small and cool looking like the mini, otherwise i dont want it in my entertainment unit)
