Can I have multiple devices with bluetooth? I have MacBook (Big Sur, retina). If I want to buy an external keyboard and mouse, can I connect both of them to the laptop? If I want to use another devices, such as bluetooth headphones, can I use all those at the same time? Many thanks!

conecting mac mini with macbook ai I have a MacBook Air. Thinking of getting a larger capacity Mac mini just for Logic Pro. think I can use screen share to use the Mac book air keyboard and screen I think is this correct? found some instructions about using a cable to the router to start the process but will I have to do this every time I used or is this a one time operation and after doing once it all connects via Bluetooth or I turn the screen save on? don't want to purchase if I can’t do what I want. not very technical so any help welcomed

Can you pair iMac with MacBook using Sidecar? Until recently I used a 2013 era iMac as a secondary screen for my 2015 era MacBook, using a Thunderbolt cable and the much-missed Target Display Mode. The 2015 MacBook has died (the iMac is still going strong for the moment though!). I'm thinking of replacing the iMac as we use it as a family computer. If I get a new one, can I connect my MacBook to it with SideCar? Other websites seem only to mention pairing an iMac or a MacBook with an iPad. Thoughts?

Would connecting the two MacBooks via Thunderbolt cable permit one to be used as an extended screen?
