 The reason I prefer a laptop isn't just that I can hook up any external
 HDD to it, but with Adobe OnLocation it also serves as a calibrated
 field monitor, waveform monitor, vectorscope, audio spectrum analyzer,
 etc. Plus, I can review and organize clips right as I record them.
 
 I understand the usefulness of the FireStore, but given its limited
 features I think it's seriously overpriced, especially since most people
 already own a laptop - which, incidentally, runs off a rechargeable
 battery just like the FS.
 
 But to each his or her solution.
