    Not only that, I wouldn't give up my connectivity either.

    Forgive me if I'm wrong, but there is no eSATA on the M18?

    eSATA is my preferred method of backup.

    HDMI in is cool for the dash cam too.

    That's correct. No e-Sata on the 18

    The 18 has HDMI input, but it shares the same port and the HDMI output.

    Yeah, I use eSATA also... and ExpressCard. I have several devices that I can't use with the 18.

    It's a bummer that they did not at least introduce Thunderbolt to make up for the missing ports. If I were going to have to go buy new peripheral devices I would want something better than USB.
