    put them in the vicinity of your laptop, enable BT on your lappy, and the rest should be fairly straightforward with screenprompts or automatically.

    Yes you can have them both hooked up at the same time, along with severeal other devices (phone, headphones and so on).

    Yep, many devices can connect to one source. In your instance, its absolutely fine. However, connecting too many things at once can bog them all down.

    Getting bogged down when connecting multiple bluetooth gadgets can be especially annoying when those gadgets are mouse/keyboards because you start to feel REALLY annoying lag.
