Wireless will be your bottleneck, even when the 125mbps access points become commonplace. Because of the way wireless works, you'll only get 30-40% of the available bandwidth to any one machine. Your best bet w/ the laptops is to set up an area w/ a wired ethernet connection, and plug in there when you want to transfer files.
