You probably already have your answer, but yes. A few of the options that I have been looking into are the Henge Dock, BookEndz, and the ViDock. The ViDock isn't specific for any laptop; rather it works for any laptop with a pc card slot. None of the options are as powerful as, say, an HP docking station. You will have multiple things to plug in still. Apple needs to pull their heads out of their nether regions and realize that professionals would like to use their equipment, but have needs for docking stations and multiple monitors.

Yes it is. Power adapters for Intel-based Apple notebooks are available in 45W, 60W, and 85W varieties. Although you should always use the proper wattage adapter for your Apple notebook, you can use an adapter of a higher wattage without issue.

Yes, the new macbook pro would be excellent, however, if you are just doing data entry/ accounting (namely text based stuff), the macbook air is a lighter, cheaper option that will be plenty fast and powerful for your needs.

I'm assuming you have an HDMI port on your tv. If so, HDMI carries both video and sound, so you need Belkin Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter. This should go from your Thunderbolt port to HDMI port in the tv

No it doesn't and probably never will. People have been asking for it ever since it came out but Apple long decided that online streaming is the future. I would love for them to put in blu ray but I highly doubt they ever will.

I have a 15" MBP Retina from last summer. I have the 750GB SSD with about 265GB used. I configured the LacIe to use Time Machine, and the initial full backup took less than two hours. Incrementals are really fast too. Summary: works great on the MBP Retina!

Once you install an OS onto it (formatted with GPT partition scheme, and formatted as Mac OS Extended (aka HFS+), you can boot from the Thunderbolt port or the USB 3.0 port.

I have several drives, each with a different version of the OS and different applications.

You can either use the Installer, or clone an existing drive that is already bootable.

Just be sure to not connect both interfaces at the same time. Only one will work at a time.
