According to http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wtech/iwd/sb/CS-031059.htm All 3rd generation Intel Core Processors are compatible, so the Intel Core i7-3610M in this laptop would be compatible.

It should be, as long as you have a disc drive and can download the hardware and you either set up the wireless or use a usb cord (which it unfortunately doesn't come with) it should not matter what type of computer or operating system you are running.

What type of computer do you have? This matters. I have a Fujitsu Lifebook NH532 with Windows 7 and it works fine. This computer is very capable of running Windows 8 but when I researched it, one of the very few devices that would not be compatible with Windows 8 was Intel WIDI. Also, no matter what kind of computer you are using, it must have a processor that supports Intel WIDI and you must still install the WIDI software on your computer first. Just go to Intel's website and download the most recent version. That being said, I would totally recommend this product to anyone considering it!! It is so easy and convenient, a child could use it.

The hardware would not be the problem. If the laptop has wifi it will connect. Its the software you use that makes the connection to this device.

Yes. Just follow the installation instructions. Its working perfectly on my two different laptops.

Although Lenovo does not officially state whether Helix supports WiDi or not, according to Intel it meets all necessary requirements to suggest that it does support WiDi (Windows 8, i3/i5/i7, 6205S wifi card). Please check with Lenovo and Intel first to make sure. This is an opinion, not a guarantee. The exact description of the wifi installed in Helix is "11a/b/g/n28, PCIe SFF (Small Form Factor) Mini Card, Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205S, 2x2".

I suggest you check the Intel web site for its list of compatible laptops. It will only work with those having the newer Intel WIDI graphics capability.

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

I don't know what configuration you have in your laptop. However, I can tell you that you need to have Intel Wireless Display Technology (Intel WiDi) chipset in your laptop in order to make it work. Although my laptop has the chipset to use Netgear Push2TV, the quality is not acceptable. Therefore, I do not recommend to buy this product. After I purchased this product, it worked for few days. Slowly, the graphics became worst and annoying to clone my laptop to TV. I think it helps you to make the decision.

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.

yes you can check email if you have a laptop with an intel processor and running windows 7. here is the link to check if your laptop is compatible http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wtech/iwd/sb/CS-031059.htm If your laptop is compatible, you can download the free Intel WIDI Widget here http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y

Yes it is. I'm currently using it on one of Windows XP machines. My recommendation would be to look for another company. I have switched all my networking gear to ASUS as they have much better. more reliable tech support and they are located in the US not India or the Philippines. Therefore, you don't have the same language barrier.

What OS does it have? The laptop has to either support WiDi or Miracast. Windows 8.1 supports Miracast: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/project-wireless-screen-miracast

It is, I've used it with my Google TV, pushing screen image to it through WIDI. It does tend to be spotty, now works, now doesn't, but not sure if that is because of my Google TV or the laptop - I didn't care enough to troubleshoot more.

No you can't. You have to connect through WiDi. Typing on the remote is cumbersome. Just easier to use a computer.

Hi Wesley,No you don't need a WIDI capable laptop, the device has its own application to connect the devices wirelessly. Additionally, the device comes with an actove USB stick from which you can launch the app in a portable environment (without setup).
