Specing a laptop with Firewire
Why is it so difficult to shop for a laptop with Firewire?
Too many reviews are all gloss, and no specifics. I'm looking to get a core I5 laptop. It is hunt-and-peck to find specs listing input devices |

Well make sure that the laptop you buy has aan expresscard slot, sincec that is not a forgone conclusion. Expresscard is more versatile than firewire, since it can be used to add support for firewirre, or for eSATA or USB3, among many other things.
