    Has Sony dropped firewire from all of their models. I have some outboard gear that uses firewire, an extrenal hard drive and an audio interface. Begining to think about a newer machine but it must have firewire.

    Sony never had proper 6-pin Firewire in laptops, only 4-pin "i-Link" And that have been dropped a while ago.

    Most business-class notebooks (HP Elitebook, Dell Precision) still have Firewire ports, as does the MacBook Pro.
