    I had a question I kept forgetting to ask. On fujitsu's website when ordering the N6010, there is an option for Windows XP Home and Windows XP Home (for TV Tuner). What is the difference between the 2? If I choose to get a TV Tuner, must I get the TV Tuner Windows? Do they add something special to the TV Tuner windows?

    The TV Tuner is built into the computer if I ask for it right? I hope it's not another piece of extra equipment or else I wouldn't need it. Thanks a lot!

    hey betty77, yes the tv tuner would be built-in (integrated) so that you could not see it. That OS selection is confusing I know, but if you try to order an N6000 with the TV tuner but without the Windows XP + TV Tuner then it will return an error message. Basically, the TV Tuner is not another edition of Windows, it is simply Windows XP Home with some sort of 3rd party software included that allows you to run the TV Tuner and do all the neat things it'll allow you to do!
