    Hey,

    Is it possible to connect a playstation 2 to the W1, and play games using the W1 screen. Would it be possible to do the same on the W3?

    Thanks
    Adrian

    The w1 doesn't have an AV-in......... in fact, the W1 is probably the only notebook I've ever seen that has AV-in...... and you still need to find: 2 female rca jacks - to 1 male mini rca jack... it's not easy to find.

    Thanks,
    Justin

    Instead of limiting yourself to a specific notebook with a tv tuner, why not get the tv tuner that best suits your needs, and then choose the notebook you really want. Checkout www.tv-cards.com for info on the best card for using with playstations etc. There are lots ofyusb2 and cardbus solutions that do this, so it is very possible.
    Good luck

    Thats true....... I didn't think of that... he was asking specifically...... I thought maybe he was looking for a notebook with an actual av-in.... although playing a playstation through a computer is sorta dumb.... unless you've got like 30" widescreen.... then it's cool.

    Thanks,
