Why is it so few manufactures offer a docking port on laptops?

Solution?

I like this solution for Macbooks (does anything else matter here?)

I agree! any info 4me on my problem below?

Okay hate to be such a dipstick,but this slite problem i've encountered is really
stumbled me.Don't think it makes much sense,but the thing is:I purchased the mac solely because i have a HD cybercam JVC camcorder.But once I got ready to start editing & importing footage 1st prob was the different firewire port, okay so i get the new firewire needed.Then I wasn't able to capture my HD footage (for awhile) so i kept on trying & trying,now get this some how some way i was able to grab & upload some HD footage so i did......Next time I tried
to do the same thing wasn't able,& every time after since then i just couldn't get it to capture any HD footage, only DV footage...i'm in desperate need of assistance....I WOULD ASK IF IMOVIE WAS COMPATIBLE, & ABLE TO CAPTURE HD FOOTAGE BUT I WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE ONCE, BUT JUST CAN'T NOW FOR SOME REASON.?WHAT SHOULD I DO ?

I haven't tried those yet. I do have a Bookendz for my pre-unibody MBP at work, and it seems to work well. Check them out here.
