Magic Keyboard with numeric keypad features an extended layout, with document navigation controls for quick scrolling and full-size arrow keys for gaming. A scissor mechanism beneath each key allows for increased stability, while optimized key travel and a low profile provide a comfortable and precise typing experience. The numeric keypad is also great for spreadsheets and finance applications. And the built-in, rechargeable battery is incredibly long-lasting, powering your keyboard for about a month or more between charges.

Looks great, types terrible. Key travel is WAY too short, bottoms out with a hard clunk. Key surfaces have nice feel, seems durable. NOT multidevice compatible, must disconnect and re-pair to move between systems. Good battery life. Way too expensive for a terrible typing experience.

The T50 is not your run-of-the-mill floor standing tower speaker. Just snap off the grill and take a look under the hood - you'll love what you see. With one 1" silk dome tweeter, one 6.25" extended throw composite driver, and two performance tuned front-firing sub bass radiators~all engineered with Polk~s proprietary Dynamic Balance technology, its highs send sound soaring, its mids are made to shred, and the bass you crave gets a massive boost even at the lowest frequencies. Its audio improved - for the people, by the people - signed, sealed and delivered! Easy to setup, supports Dolby and DTS, and connects to most home theater receivers, stereos or home theater processors. Have fun and play but prepare to be blown away!

Would this be a good external drive for booting windows onto my MacBook Air? Or should I opt for something 64 gb?

64gb is pretty small for a windows install

My motherboard is designed for SATA 2.0 = 3 Gbits/s (Asus P6T SE). I know that SATA 3 is supposed to be compatible with SATA 2 MBs. Will this HDD work with a SATA 2 MB? I know it will be slower but wanted to make sure it will work.

yes they're backwards compatible

Dennon WIFI 9.2, Klipsch 12, Another Klipsch 12, Polk CS Center, the huge one, Polk Monitor 70s, Klipsch bookshelves. Will these compare to the 70s as back speakers?

IMO the 70s will completely overpower these. I have the 60s and even those are much better than the T50
