I don't think Firewire is going to disappear, but it's a format which 
is considered pro and therefor not present on cheaper laptops and 
desktops maybe? Firewire has been developed further into Firewire 2 
is and is still fully supported by Apple, and it's the only protocol 
I use for connecting my external hard drives for HD editing. eSATA 
seems to be faster but I never had to use it.

I guess you should have checked the specs of the notebook before 
buying it. You write it's small, is it a netbook maybe? Those are not 
supposed to be used for things like video-editing and to make them as 
small as possible, concessions have to be done, including adding as 
little as connectors as possible.
