    I need a notebook that can handle Bluetooth. When configuring the notebook, is it possible to get a mouse that uses Bluetooth technology. Wireless mouse is not the same, right? Also, if I need a "both ear with mic" Bluetooth headset to do Wellness Coaching, is it possible to have other accessories like a mouse that used bluetooth? I am looking at the ThinkPad
    T61 54" Santa Rosa but after all the warranties at the end of the configuring, I think I will be in debt for life. Anybody know what all those warranties are for at shop.leveno.com for the ThinkPad T?

    Thanks for any advice.

    Peace. Any negative, frustrated, losers, please save your time and got to someone else. I just trash your posts. The do not affect me. Sorry, but I know how much you like to try and pick on me...

    Yes, you could use Bluetooth mouse with Bluetooth headset. Just assign different name/deviceID for each of them.

    thanks. can this be done with any notebook, just a MAC and if it is a new notebook and I am ordering a mouse what would I order? wireless mouse? does it say bluetooth mouse? I have never seen one called this. I also need a bluetooth double ear with the mic that comes around and ends in front of my mouth for online coaching. I cannot use the bluetooth ear pieces you see people use for their cell phones? and finally can I have a bluetooth mouse and a headset with a mic on bluetooth too on the same notebook?

    I was going to get the think pad T61 15" screen with Santa Rosa but the reviews do not look good for my type of work. I am so tempted to try the Mac notebook Pro but I have never used a MAC and my 3 programs I need for the coaching are Microsoft programs. It looks like you really like MAC. I would like to hear your opinion when someone has never use it before and would be using it for online coaching to movie stars, executives, very rich people who would not take mistakes or me not knowing how to use the camera and microphone or something like that.

    I hope all these are clear.

    Thanks

    You can use them both, however when using multiple bluetooth devices I have heard of them causing issues with each other like the mouse will skip around some. Not sure if its a signal issue or simply a matter of bandwidth.
