Or iMacs. With Thunderbolt external storage an iMac makes a great FCP station. A well turned out 27" compares well with a base tower for about a grand less (not to mention the nice 27" screen for "free"). It's not as expandable, but Thunderbolt makes that less of an issue than ever.
Exactly the editing station I am looking to build to order once the new iMacs come out.
Here's to hoping they come out sooner rather than later. I would rather buy a new iMac with Thunderbolt today and the current version of Final Cut Studio then have to buy the new Final Cut Studio today without the new iMac. I would hope that new iMacs are just around the corner. All this new Thunderbolt gear at NABB and they expect people to just use it on a MacBookPro? I surely hope not.
Except that Premiere has the best handling of 7D and 5D files of any edit software. They worked directly with Canon to understand how to best handle the files natively. Something FCP doesn't do - yet.
Nobody cares, Premiere being best able to handle 7D and 5D doesn't matter a damn to the vast majority of the market, who use Avid. If Apple wants to increase market share, their best bet is to go after Avid. Avid is everywhere, Premiere is footnote by comparison.

Really? I have no problems using 7D files in Final Cut Pro.
Also, contrary to some rumors, I spoke with Apple engineering about Thunderbolt. This is a system level I/O connection. If your Mac has it, ANY version of FCP – or any other Mac application – will take advantage of it.
This is a preview though, so there is still a chance some currently unrevealed concept will show up in the release.
