Windows 8.1 has also faster boot time then Windows 7.

I am starting to think the i3 variant maybe my best choice as it will has a bit of future proofing vs Haswell and I like the idea of a media remote(seems to be the only one to offer a built in IR receiver?). It's not clear, but is the remote included(im in the states) or do I need to buy one?
Also, which trusted dealer lowest price on the i3 model(any of them)? Will price be going down anytime soon since it seems like 6th gen intel cpu maybe coming out?

Is that a safe site to purchase from, cause i've never heard of it and the prices on the i3 looks pretty good(same as haswell based i3 model). I just wonder if i have to pay tax like one has to via Amazon. I am 80% sure I am going to get the NUC5I3RYK, and excited.* I plan to hook this up to my tv, via HDMI, my tv doesn't offer PiP, and my cable provider requires a cable box, just to get regular cable tv. I know there is an accessory that allows one to replace the top cover with a tv tuner(?) if I am not mistaken. I know in the past one could use a tv tuner(I think I still have an older Hauppauge USB TV stick somewhere?), to watch tv; but, now that tvs require a box just to get even regular cable what is the options now? Thank you.
I say 80% sure, because part of me wants a full size SD slot, but the 5th gen cpu is swaying me a good bit over lack of SD slot.

Nothingbutsavings.com is a Google trusted store. I ordered a i5, shipping is estimated at 7 to 10 days, bought it on 20 February and received it on 24 February, I wasn't in a rush so 7-10 days didn't bother me, but was surprised to receive it early, they ship through fedex and tracking was great. There was no sales tax, I bought it when it was $369, but it has since dropped to $355.
