    Ok, I've almost made up my mind. I'm gonna get a Macbook. Just 2 questions

    1.- Is it possible to atach an external, usb, tv tunner? does having integrated graphics will make it imposible to watch tv(recording tv maybe? i got windows MCE cd)?

    2.- Macbook hasn't got a modem so, what would you recomend me? an usb one? or a bluetooth one?

    1.) Yes, you can use an external USB TV-Tuner. Integrated graphics can easily handle a TV Tuner.

    2.) What ever modem works best for you. It doesn't really matter.
