Query: Seamless integration & Extended screen Hi, if I use the same Apple ID on a 2017 MacBook Air and a 2020 iMac, would I be able to seamlessly switch between the 2 devices? As such, 1) If I have a few tabs open on Safari in my Macbook, would I be able to see the same tabs on my iMac, if I turn it on? 2) If I have a few applications like MS PowerPoint, MS Excel etc. open on my MacBook (and saved in a folder on my desktop) , would I be able to see the same documents on my iMac, if I turn it on? 3) Do I need to enable some settings to achieve the above? Also, is it possible to use iMac as an extended screen, with my MacBook Air as the primary device? What settings do I need to do to achieve this? Please let me know. Your reply would greatly facilitate my iMac purchase decision. Thanks.
