Yes

You cannot use the Play 1s to do this because the Play 1 has no input other than WiFi. You would want to get something like the Play 5s. They have input. You could then get another speaker 1, 3, or 5 and put it anywhere and group them together so the sound plays on both the Play 5 and the other speakers.

The Sonos Play:5 has a standard AUX input in the back, which you could use to connect to your laptop computer, and then push the music to OTHER sonos speakers to be able to play on multiple speakers. However, you cannot push music directly to the speakers wirelessly via the Sonos app. It (sadly) does not work like Apples AirPlay which would allow you to do just that with another conventional wireless speaker.

Yes, you can but it will require buying extra things to make it happen. and you will be hooked up by a Cord to the devices. Sono's doesn't Mirror anything Wirelessly. It only works with their approved apps wirelessly.

I can connect my laptop using the Sonos app for Windows 10, but it's not a direct-play device, you connect your accounts, then play from the accounts. The laptop/phone/tablet is a remote. I hope that they may add this functionality in the future.
