Will this work with a laptop that does not support WiDi?

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

If your machine has a WiFi adapter-card, in other words WiFi capable-this will work. If you don't have a dvd/cd drive to download from the included driver disc-I believe you can download the driver from online...

Yes it will. This uses Usb to function. As long as you have a wireless router, this will work just fine.

Sorry don't know anything about WIDI, however I can tell you it an awesome laptop computer.

Return the TV, it has very limited features/flexibility. I don't know about WIDI but I'm guessing it will not work on this TV based on my frustrations.

Yes . It have Hdmi input. But it will not work wireless with widi. Its only works with pc widi.

Most likely not; it hasn't worked with any of my devices that can work with a usb wifi device without an interface to install drivers on it, such as a computer

Yes, the drivers for the wireless adapter need to be updated (from the acer site) so you'll need to hardwire it to do that. I've had no problems with ths laptop after that.

Yes, it is WiDi capable and I was able to make that work briefly through a Netgear Push2TV (PTV3000) adapter. But the adapter turned out to be defective (or went bad quickly) and, after consulting with the Netgear support, I had to return that to the seller. I am afraid to buy another WiDi adapter until someone comes up with a reliable one. So, for now, I have this laptop hooked with an HDTV via a long HDMI cable--and that works okay.

WiFi but not sure regarding WiDi. Suggest call HD - they will be happy to answer any questions.

Neither the Y400 or the Y500 support WiDi (wireless display) per Lenovo's website. http://www.lenovo.com/products/us/laptop/ideapad/y-series/?menu-id=learn&ref-id;=learn

The device itself doesn't require any drivers for the Bluetooth, but currently the only drivers for the Wifi part are for Windows 7 and 8/8.1. And if you get this for Windows don't install the Intel Bluetooth setup software they have. It will crash your networks.

Yes, it should since it's just a usb device. I have used it with machines that had no optical drives. Your laptop might have to go out to the net to download a driver, but that is routine and you don't have to do anything special.

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.

I am so sorry, but I am not familiar with WIDI. Can you descride the port needed? Or is it a harddrive/software thing.

Sure. No problem. Just be aware that for this model you need to plug your laptop into it to get a signal. A different model delivers the signal with wifi.

No. This unit works only with laptops equipped with Intel WiDi (wireless display). There are a limited number of higher end laptops that have WiDi and to my knowledge, no tablets as of yet. Basically, Widi sends your laptop display (audio, video and graphics to your wireless router which in turn sends it to the Push 2 TV device which is plugged into your flatscreen TV by way of HDMI cable. Intel WiDi is an additional device (hardware) and requires device drivers (software) to operate.
