    Does it have to be an ASUS? If not you might fill in the FAQ. Even if it has to be an ASUS, you can fill it in and post it here. Knowing more about what you'll be using the notebook for will help us make better suggestions.

    I filled it up long ago.. but never came up with answers.... But I've just recently discovered Asus has what I need, but there are so many models don't know which one has the features I mentioned.

    EDIT : Discovered a smaller notebook, Asus F8Sn-B1 . One question though, it has a TV-In port, but does it come with TV Tuner ? What reseller sells it with one ?

    Why would you want a built-in tuner when it will be obsolete in a year?

    I live in Canada, and here the switch to on-the-air ATSC won't be done until 2012
