Sorry to break it to you but the Asus Zenbook does not support Widi. It doesn't use an Intel wireless card, instead it uses Qualcomm's Atheros wifi card. This was also a feature that I wanted but realized that I wouldn't be using it all that much. Plus you would have to buy an adapter, it would be a hassle in my opinion. I'm okay with plugging in a $3 micro-hdmi to hdmi cable.

Yes, the external DVD drive should work just fine with your ASUS Ultrabook. I've used it with my ASUS Netbook running Windows 8.1 with no problems at all. Becaus it is an external burner using USB connections, it will not be a quick as an internal drive but does work as it should. Go for it.

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.

My last update, but I figured anyone interested in Ubuntu on this would be excited with this news:I am currently booted up on the LIVE CD (well image) of 9.10 beta (releases tomorrow) and it appears that everything is supported natively. The wireless drivers (that were a pain) are good, card reader, wired, better battery (by a slight amount). Also - the hotkeys all work (FN + (key)).Other distros I am not sure what their newest native driver support is like, but it is clearly do-able and if you want it you can get it on here. I hope the release doesn't lose any of this stuff!

My understanding is that it's supposed to using an adapter, but I don't use WiDi so I don't know for sure.

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.

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

In my experience, some Lenovo laptops restrict Wi-Fi cards to those on their whitelist. I'd suggest keeping your choices to those listed in the Hardware Maintenance Manual for your model. Find this by searching for "Lenovo U410 HMM". Locate what you are looking for in the Parts List section of the document, then do a search on the specified FRU (Field Replaceable Unit) number. In your case, it is "Lenovo 20200048". This is an Intel 2200N, which, according to Intel, does support WiDi.

Your computer needs WiDi. It's a graphic chip. I bought it and would not work without it. I was told you have to get it with your computer, it can't be added on. I went to Apple TV instead for my tv/movie needs and a USB cord for my big screen presentations with my iPad. Sorry that's all I know.

I assume it should as I didn't have to do anything to have both OS (Windows 7 and Ubuntu Linix) of my dual boot Asus ultrabook running as soon as I plug the device into the USB3 port. Just a word of concern if your machine doesn't have USB3 port, this device then need two USB2 ports in order to work because a single USB2 doesn't have power feed to the device so it need two USB2 ports to work. You should already guessed, the USB3 has extra power feed to the device from a single USB3 port.I like the Pioneer USB3 external DVD Writer drive because it is very light and matches the silver color of my Asus Zenbook.Hope that answer your question.

If your computer doesn't have the Intel WiDi app you can download it here: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/intel-wireless-display.html

When I upgraded my laptop (Dell D600) I bought Windows 7 Pro... (because some of my drivers must have the compatibility mode for my hardware to run.) I disabled my internal wi-fi in the bios. Had to hunt down the latest drivers one by one... but it runs fine, never crashed yet, network card works fine. I'll get 6 more years out of my 2006 laptop and it's very handy on the kitchen table!

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.

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).
