I missed that. Sucks. It's not as bad as the Air though, at least MBs
are easy to pull the HD from.
I thought they were just removing FW400, leaving a FW800 interface?
Not by the look of it - the 13" frame goes power, ethernet, USBx2,
micro-DVI, mic, ear, lock. Then a round thing, unknown. IR?
The 15" frame goes power, ethernet, fw800? (or a modem!), USBx2,
micro-DVI, mic, ear, expresscard. Then the round unknown thing and a
rectangular unknown grill thing.
FW's kind of doomed really. Shame really, as USB doesn't cut it (not
enough power, too slow), and eSATA doesn't provide any power at all...
No power on eSATA is a huge missed opportunity, I must say.
USB speeds are comparable to FW400 on Intel Macs, at least for
external hard drives.
