After the initial shock, I came to realize that FW800 was not agreat loss. I think eSata will be the immediate future anyway.

With an AJA iO it works but that is it. There are certianly no HD Express card options – or SD for that matter. You would be relying completely on the one FW400 port for the video I/O and a SATA raid through the single Express 34 slot and I am not aware of such a card that offers mac support at this point.

Keep in mind that we are talking about a laptop – not a 50 lb desktop. These performance numbers are significant because you get this kind of performance from a 6 Lb, 1″ thick package. It makes mobile production much more interesting. I am also confident that when we finally get Adobe on board that you will have the closest thing to a desktop replacement in the Apple world ever – the PB G4 is just not fast enough IMO.

For the sake of comparing apples to apples (terrible, tired pun I know), firewire will become the great equalizer and enable a better comparison. For a production setup it’s another matter as you will have to start thinking about shared storage and it’s issues.
