can we use the apple airpods that come out in october only with apple products or can i use it with my laptop?

it requires iCloud and OS X 10.12, or iOS 10, or watch OS 3for your computer or smart device or apple watch. At this time the answer is yes for those, no for anything else.

It says Sierra is required, so you will have to wait a little while before using them with your laptop.

Hi

AirPods will also work with non-Apple devices that support use of Bluetooth headsets, but without the Apple-specific features.

When using AirPods with Apple devices, users can benefit from automatic setup, Siri features and intelligent switching (with an iCloud account and macOS Sierra, iOS 10 or watchOS 3).

After a simple one-tap setup, AirPods are automatically on and always connected.1.

So would these connect to other devices without the need for software? Windows is notorious for needing drivers but I don't own BT headphones so are these exceptions rather than rules? Not being cheeky, just asking.

if it supports wireless then it should work with them

Assuming that Airpods will work with any standard Bluetooth device, will they work in multipoint mode?

i.e. Airpods connected to a Windows laptop via bluetooth, but at the same time capable of ("automagically") receiving a phone call from my iPhone or playing music from my iPad as per the W1 capabilities.

That would be a great selling point for people who don´t own only Apple devices.

No, they will not work that way.

Poor value added then.

I have a cheap Sony Bluetooth headset that can do that easily.

You shouldn't buy them in that case. Or just about any stereo BT headset currently available.
