Not any more.

- The MBP is apparently tight enough inside that it can't accommodate the more useful ExpressCard/54 slot, only the ExpressCard/34. I haven't seen any diagrams confirming this, and it seemed at first like Apple was just needlessly crippling it, but it does make sense that they wouldn't have room inside for an extra 20mm wide slot.
Yep, it's true. In fact, the FW 800 port required them to shift all other ports away slightly (e.g., the DVI port is slightly closer to the corner).
