Hey there!

Here comes my TZ-Story.
Summary: TZ-Software and buying-modalities, the One-seg-tuner, disassembly-guide.

Last year I worked in Japan. When the heatwave killed my old rotten-rugged Pavillion (HewPaq) I decided: "Hey, you are in Notebook-Land, get a new one!"
So my feed found the way to a local "Compmart" and "Miste' Kohno" helped me.
As I wanted all possibilities, full mobility, ulta-portability and medium workpower, we chose the Vaio-TZ as "Ownermade" with
Intel Core2Duo-ULV 1.06 GHz
2GB of RAM
80GB HDD
Optical Multidrive
L-Battery (the XL looks like a tumor and is almost 2times heavier than the smallest one -including the computer!)
N-Type-WIFI
Bluetooth
Fingerprint-Sensor and TPM (in Japan it is an option!)
Webcam
and finally (as I wanted to return to Japan later) a built-in TV-Tuner.

Mister Kohno admitted that he doubts that the Tuner (although its a hybrid multiband-tuner) would work outside Japan, but I threw the coin and decided to give it a try.
