Intel WiDi (Wireless Display) & Dell XPS 15 R2 L502 Demo
So, I accidentally found out that my new XPS laptop had this feature called, “Intel WiDi.” I had no idea what it was but after doing some research, I was pretty excited that I have it. I’ve always wanted to figure out a way to run an HDMI cable from my bed to my TV. Total cost of materials for that project is about $35.

You will see the cursor lag if you jerk the mouse around really quick, but that’s an edge use case, no one really moves their mouse that way. Playing HD content is great if you are playing it directly from the laptop. I’ve tested high bitrate 12GB 1080p h.264 video files and the FPS is 95% smooth.

I heard that this system runs on 802.11g protocol, they really should’ve used 802.11n. What Intel failed to consider is what if I want to stream video from my HTPC to my laptop to my TV? WiFi-G just doesn’t cut it, believe me, I’ve …
