Not that I know of and as an owner, I can tell you that there is absolutely nothing in the specs for this computer about "WiDi".

I would say that the answer is no. The Nyrius transmitter and receiver are designed to work with each other. If you have built-in WiDi, you do not need any dongle. But . . .you will still need to purchase a receiver that works with WiDi. Here is a link that will give you some basic information. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2044749/its-a-widi-shootout-actiontecs-screenbeam-pro-vs-netgears-push2tv.html The Nyrius can be a little fickle during the setup but once I got it dialed in, I was (and am) extremely satisfied with its function and display. Based on current technology, I think the Nyrius setup (and dongle) is the way to go.

Wirelessly, yes. Via Intel WIDI. Your TV or monitor would need to support WIDI to connect to external monitor or TV

There is a set of specification provided on Intel website for all the requirements with respect Intel WIDI.http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/intel-wireless-display.htmlYou need to have compatible laptop and wifi router with P2TV device.

Yes, just look up Enabling Wireless Display (WiDi) on Windows 8 RTM on google and click on the intel link. It will have directions to install the Windows 8 drivers.

Don't believe so. My computer has WiDi which was supposed to provide the interface between my laptop and the WD Push2TV. Could not get anything but sound (no video) and Western Digital could not help. Need up with an AppleTV device that was a plug and play (minor setup only) and it works great (my laptop is a PC). I have iToons on my computer.

Hi. You don't need widi. Just hdmi on your tv and USB on you laptop. This thing works pretty good but does not have the greatest range. You need to be in line with the receiver antena.

Yes. It seems so. I usually use it with W8 but because of your question, I set it up on my Dell Inspiron and it works just fine.

If you have a laptop that is Intel WiDi capable, the ScreenCast adapter will receive a signal from your laptop regardless of the operating system. So if you have a laptop with WiDi capabilities you need to go to the Intel website, download and install the WiDi software and if it will run on your computer and shows you a screen that is searching for WiDi devices, even though you don't have one yet, you're good. When you do have an adapter, it will connect to your laptop and you will have HDMI wireless to your TV.So the question is!!!, will Win 8 run the Intel WiDi software. If it does, your good to go.

WiDi supports both video and audio, as it would an HDMI cable. Now, given that video and audio probably need to be in sync through the wireless link, the audio would always go to the TV. I haven't found a way to redirect the audio to a different laptop output, and some of the attempts have cause some crashes and other issues with the device. However, if your TV has a good audio attached to it that shouldn't be a problem. This little box has worked for me quite well, but needs some firmware updates as well as keeping the driver on your laptop current.

Yes, it is compatible. All you need is a slot for an SD card or a flash drive.

I am sorry but I don't know. If I were you I would email the Widu company directly about this.

I can't confirm usage because I don't have a receiver or compatible TV, but it has the Intel Centrino N 2230 combo bluetooth/wifi chip that appears to support widi: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/wireless-products/centrino-wireless-n-2230.html

I don't know what WiDi is. I know that we hook up mine to our HDMI hook up on our tv and watch movies from youtube and netflix. I don't know if this answers your question or not but that is all I know about it.
