Is there any laptop computer that supports an eSATA external hard drive?

I am interested in getting the LaCie d2 Quadra external hard drive. I want to take advantage of the speed of the eSATA interface of the LaCie to edit video. Is there any laptop that has this interface?

eSATA is a newer format for external hard drives and its not likely that you can find native eSATA support yet but there are eSATA expansion card in the Cardbus and express card formats available. Check Newegg if you want to add an adapor card to your current PC or wait a little while until the format starts to make its way onto newer laptops. It will likely first show up on high end laptops first and then the lower end as prices for the chips fall.
