2 questions - 1. Does anyone know if this comes with a wall power adapter? I don't have a USB on my TV and if it does not then what kind of generic USB to wall charger can I use? 2. Does it also support Intel WIDI display from laptops or is it only for...

It comes with a USB lead but no wall charger. You can use any generic USB wall charger E.G. for a phone or tablet. It supports Windows 8.1 from a laptop (miracast is built in to 8.1) and is really simple to link. If WIDI does 'mirroring' then it will work if the OS supports the function.

It comes with a USB 2.0 to mini USB chord, very short. No, I don't think you can charge from the device, unless it's a laptop or a tablet with a regular USB connection like the surface. It doesn't come with a wall charger either.

To clear up the bunch of stupid 1/2 answers: It has a micro USB jack on it but the charger itself is only for plugging into the wall. The other end of the charging cable is of course the micro USB connector that fits into the micro USB jack on the device. Any micro USB charger you already have will work to charge it.

You have to use Asus's wall adapter. Others will not work. I suggest purchasing this product since it includes one of these adaptors: ASUS 10/18W Adaptor for Transformer Series Tablets(Just copy past that into search)

It comes with its own power adapter, it connects to wall AC Power Line. Good convertion from Hdmi to Video/Audio and SVideo output.

What do you mean a wall plug in? It does come with a AC power adapter and Internet plug in. Once you download the driver to your laptop, it will fit most laptops.

Can this be used to hook up a laptop computer? (I have a laptop that works but with a broken monitor. I'm thinking this might be a passable -- I don't have high hopes for "great," but it might be passable -- solution until I can get the laptop fixed?Could I either connect this with a standard monitor plug or with one of my laptop's USB ports?Thanks.

The adapter has a side microUSB port that you can plug in your USB charger. So the little gadget has three "ports", microUSB, HDMI, and a side microUSB. Note the side microUSB must be used to provide power, or else the adapter will not work.

Dear Demetre,I am the kind of guy who keeps useful extra items. The darn hub didn't work when it came. I read someone's comment that the power adapter was too small, so I looked in my stash of power packs [some people call them "Wall Warts!"] and found one rated 5V 1Amp. Since then, it has worked, but it's junky - the sockets do not fit smoothly. I notice that everyone else is using 3 - 5 Amps. The item they sent to me was tiny and it was much weaker than my 1 Amp unit.

The only adapters that I have seen are expensive active adapters. There are USB to Displayport adapters for just under $100.

Asus are supposed to be releasing a specific mini hdmi to vga adapter; it's been shown off as an accessory but there hasn't been any pricing or release information given as of yet. Until then, there are other cables/adapters that seem to work including one from HP (- it needs a mini hdmi to hdmi adapter in order to use it with the transformer); you may wish to check out this thread on XDA Developers that discusses it in further detail. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088243Robert

Yes. The one(s) I got came with the 110v wall adapter power adapter. I think I got a couple and connected them and haven't had to think about them since. They are in a school setting connected to Engenious or Trendnet access points. I wanted to be sure to get Gb so these would not be the weak link.

They expect you to have the wall to adaptor cable. Makes it cheaper and not as difficult to sell since they don't need the particular outlet style. However, I bought two of them and one arrived with a cable for the wall and the other did not. Not sure what their reasoning was...

I just got my daighter's last week and noticed that the wall adapter was defective right out of the box. No big deal for me and I switched it to another I had lying around the house. Then over the weekend, it wouldn't charge at all. After trying a few things, I discovered the charging cable was broken/shorted/not working, so I just switched it, too. The nice thing is that it will accept any standard, off-the-shelf Android charger (micro usb plug), and they are fairly common with all of the Android devices I have around. This may or may not be your problem, but I figure if I got a broken/defective plug and cord, I'm probably not the only one.

Wanda- I have this charger and use it on a brand new HP Envy 15" (not sure of the model). It does work and comes with a variety of plugs and connectors. It is smaller (thinner) than the standard charger but that comes with a price. Even at 90 watts it is under powered for a quad core laptop. It runs hot and if I am really challenging the processors I will get drop-outs (for lack of a better word) where the charger just can't keep up with the load. It's not enough to reject the charger but you have to be aware that it can't do what it's big brother does. I would prefer a 120 watt charger but this one works for travelling. I would probably give it 3-1/2 stars. Good luck!! Wanda- I have this charger and use it on a brand new HP Envy 15" (not sure of the model).

Sue, which adaptor cord do you need? The regular power supply or the cord that goes into a USB port? If its the usb port I think I have one that I do not need. Would be happy to send it to you for free.

Adapter fits most wall plugs around the world. Plug your laptop power supply into it, works great. The USB chargers work for small devices that can charge with USB, mobile phone, palm pilot. Works well.
