Agree that built in dock is daft. Thats what fw/usb is for but for a while now i have been wanting a laptop with which you can easily swap the system disks on. ie.
one with a linux install one with an osx install and who knows even a windows one.. True you can dual boot a single disk but that limits the space avaliable to each install. I guess this is going to be much easier to acheive on an intel platfrom as well
To all the people who want to use their (hard drive) iPod as a fw/usb drive, Apple has said that using the iPod to boot from or using it as a system disk is a bad idea since such continuous action would burn out the iPod's 1" drive.

yeah, i've had friends who used to read/write to their ipods a lot. i have a friend that was logging all her aim logs to it and her drive burned out from too much activity.
