Looking to buy a new notebook, my 3 year old vaio (That came with nothing) has seen better days. Now for my price range on notebooks i see things like S-video and RGB ports. A TV tuner??? Isn't an RGB wire to hook up to a HDTV? What technology on these computers can help me with my conventional tv? What can windows media do that windows professional can't. I mean im not some clueless person when it comes to computers but i have just been trying to upgrade my POS. so any knowledge on these topics would be great. Thanks!

Yea He_Man the p100 or 105 was actually one of a couple i was looking at.
With these ports would i be able to use my notebook as a Dvd player for my tv then?

lol ... I don't think that should be a factor in why you would get a notebook. IMO some of the best dvd players out there are on $15.

well not for that direct purpose of course. i already have 3 for my tv already. more of an informational question. I guess what i really want to know is connectivity to tvs. Theres so many different types of inputs and ports. But ok... heres a better question I know for a fact im getting 'location free' for my b-day coming up. its similar to slingbox but it has more a/v imputs and it can't record tv. Say im out of town and my hotel tv has an s-video or RBG input then would i be able to watch my 200+ channels on this tv by connecting by notebook to it or no?
