From the literature, it appears Sony doesn't include an expresscard slot. Big mistake if this is going to be an HD recording setup.
Everything else sounds cool though.

Why would someone need/want an ExpressCard slot?

By the way, the posted specifications list one PCMCIA slot and one ExpressCard slot:

Yep, Sony was smart and included ExpressCard and PCMCIA - something Apple could have learned from for the 17" macbook. >)
Why would someone want an ExpressCard slot? Uh, because that's the next standard, dude. PCMCIA doesn't have the bandwidth to handle what ExpressCard can. And yes, there's already SATA2 RAID controllers, SCSI controllers and more available for ExpressCard interfaces.
