I had a chat with a sales rep from HP who told me the difference between a 524 and a 526 is that the 526 has a tv tuner. Also, the only way I could buy a 526 was through the quick ship model which had the 256mb video card that I don't want. However, when i customize the 500 series through HP's website, the tv tuner is standard and I can pick the 512mb video card. If my customized 500 series through the site is truly a 524, why would I want the quick ship 526. OR was she just really wrong.

The quick ship models are the ones that are built and in stock in HP's stateside warehouses in the US and usually arrive within a few days of ordering. The custom built are built to order and ship from China (at least my custom HP tablet and my dads HP laptop did) and can take a couple weeks to arrive. My tablet took almost three weeks to arrive after I placed the custom order.

So, by doing the customization, you can get the specs of the 526 as well as anything else you may want to add, but may have to wait a little longer for it to arrive.
