Straight cutting sure, but not if you're doing any kind of complex
compositing or anything higher than DV - it just didn't have the

Maybe in the next format of MacBooks with larger screens it could

SATA RAIDs would be great. And yeah - more screen space, but then,
the whole point of the laptop is its portability, not its power, or
comfort levels as a day-to-day rig.
