Sure, the mobility of having them when you need them instead of taking up room or battery usage when they are installed in your computer. The laptops can be made smaller, lighter, thinner and the battery's can have a longer life.
Not to mention if the peripheral, like a DVD drive, were to fail you would have to send the laptop in to a repair shop or you would have to disassemble the laptop to replace it.

Should the 1394 connection enabled for wireless connection?
No. 1394 is firewire. You don't need 1394 / firewire to connect to a wireless connection.However, considering I havn't seen firewire on a laptop for awhile now Im going to assume you are on a desktop..?!?If this is the case, desktops don't natively connect to wireless connections (say the way a laptop would) so usually you have to hook up some sort of extra device. Any external devices I have seen were all USB, but if you were using an external device that connected to the computer via firewire - then yes you would need the firewire enabled. But again, in saying that, if firewire wasnt enabled and you plugged in your device it wouldn't work at all - in any way, shape or form.Enabling firewire isn't hard either. Usually takes all of 3 minutes to do. You could just enable it anyway, incase you need to use it in future.

You will need a firewire cable. A firewire cable is hardware that allows a user to transfer data, run analysis or run software on one hard drive from another computer. A firewire cable as its first debut was almost worth a hundred dollars. But now you can find a deciet one for about sixty dollars. Be careful when you do connect to the hard drive. If you are trying to diagnose a problem like a malware infection, the infection could also infect your pc.

A few older TVs did have a Firewire port but a recent HD TV will probably have an HDMI port which you could connect to a MacBook Pro via its mini display port. You will probably need to chain a couple of cables together (See links below) but it will depend on the connections available on the TV.
