You can solve your firewire problem by purchasing a powered firewire hub such as this: http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=193393

Or, in the alternative, I recommend the Lenovo W700 w/Vista 64 (upgrade to 4gb RAM) and also purchase the powered firewire hub.

Depends on your budget, but for me there is only really one machine - the Sony AW with 18.4" Adobe (triple LED) screen. The gamut is the widest I have seen on any display, super fast graphics & tonnes of storage. Phenomenal. Its not cheap - but 2nd hand ones go for a big discount. Still my preferred tool when traveling, and swapped the second drive with an SSD as a scratch disk. My only issue with it is battery life (1 hour) - but only on the rare occasion I don't have power.
