Yea. thats what I mean. They are usable at list right? descent enough..
Ok... So if I connect TV to my Laptop, using S-video jack. I can use it to record stuff from TV? right?
Using that Vista "Media Center" or what ever they call it now.
You probably couldn't record TV using your laptop this way. However, you can get TV Tuner Cards for Laptops (my dad has 1) and yeah you can record stuff using that card.
i like that costco one, u should get that one, and battery life will be good since it uses Centrino Duo mobile technology w/ Intel Core 2 Duo, i say 1:40 on a crappy battery....
oh and lenovos are really hard to beat up, i mean they dropped one of theirs from a top of a building and still powered, but the issue is that they lack cd-rom/dvd-rom drives, u have to buy the dock bay for like 30-40$
