See the Sony VAIO site -- they offer PII 366 with a built in Firewire port and a 6 Gb drive. They claim though that it will work only with Sony cameras but for you I see this is no problem. I've never seen them at work though. I would expect there to be MAC laptops with the same feature since recently a dealer was trying to talk me into getting a MAC desktop with 2 firewire ports.(posted 9197 days ago)BTW, has anybody tried to use a laptop as an external monitor for a camcorder? My PCG 719 has a TV OUT but no TV IN -- has anyone seen a TV IN card for a laptop and did the whole thing work?
