Does the X1 Carbon have Intel Wireless Display? (Wi-Di, widi)

I need to purchase several 2nd Gen X1 Carbon units, (4th Gen Intel Haswell Core i7 models - I'm thinking of the 20A7002WUS model)
I cannot find anywhere that says that this model has Wi-Di.  (Intel Wireless Display)
The wireless card in the model I'm looking at is the Intel Dual Band Wireless 7260AC and the specs of that card lists Wi-Di as being included. See here:  ark.intel.com/products/75439/Intel-Dual-Band-Wirel​ess-AC-7260
I do find it strange that Lenovo doesn't list Wi-Di anywhere in the specs or product details for the X1 series.  I also know that OEMs customise wireless cards all the time, often disabling certain features.  I've found other forum posts here that suggest that Lenovo has disabled Wi-Di on the Intel wireless card.  I've also found other articles and reviews in various places that suggest that Wi-Di does work but I haven't seen anything conclusive.
So - in short - does the X1 Carbon Core i7 20A7 series have Intel Wireless Display?

The X1 Carbon 20A7 supports WiDi! Although haven't had a chance to try it on mine.

  • Does the iPad mini have a retina display?

    Is the iPad mini have a retina display, just as all other apple products? If it doesn't, please tell me what resolution it does have! Thank you!

    The iPad Mini does not have a Retina display.  Visit the Apple store for specifications.

  • Does the iPad Air have a 3D display?

    I've recently got my iPad Air with a cool display etc etc. Today I was looking at the screen at the home page, and noticed that when you tilted the tablet, the desktop moves slightly in accordance with your eyes.
    It looks like that either the iPad Air has a three-dimensional surface, the device cleverly moves the background in accordance with tilt, or I am crazy.
    Which one is true?

    The iPads does not have a 3D display. But what you are seeing is called the parallax effect. It gives the illusion that the icons on the home scree are floating in a layer above the wallpaper photo.

  • Hi, does the ipad mini have a retina display?

    Hi, I would like to buy an Ipad mini or Ipad retina display for my son going to 8th grade. School administration recommends that. So I am wondering which of the two Ipads is better for him in school. Is there a difference in the display as well?

    No, the iPad Mini doesn't have a retina display. It has the same screen resolution as the first two iPad models had i.e. 1024 by 768 pixels, which on the Mini works out at 163 pixels per inch - the iPad 3 and 4 which have retina displays have 2048 by 1536 pixels, which is 264 per inch
    If you will be using the on-screen keyboard, as opposed to a bluetooth keyboard, then the larger iPad would be better suited - but due to the larger screen I would probably suggest the larger iPad anyway (e.g. you will be able to view more of your documents on-screen, and webpages and ebooks will also fit more on the screen). Are you near to a store which has both in so that you can compare the sizes of the iPads yourself ?

  • Using the Intel Wireless Display

    I'm trying to use the my Intel Wireless Display and view laptop screen on my home TV. I am able to connect to the TV just fine, however, the TV only picks up the sound and no video is shown on the TV from the computer.
    Any ideas on what may be wrong?
    Thanks!!

    What model laptop do you have? Also check the version of the Intel Wireless Display application using the Help About menu in the right upper corner.
    What kind of TV do you have. Is it a Sharp by chance?
    Garry from Intel

    Depends which iMac exactly and your network setup, you can go into System Preferences and under the Sharing pane you can enable internet sharing from ethernet (or whereever you get your internet from) to Wi-Fi.

  • Pc laptops Compatible with Intel Wireless Display (WiDi)

    I am perplexed and am in need of information/understanding/a reality check.
    I recently bought a Lenovo Z570 laptop that was explicitly advertised as supporting Intel Wireless Display (WiDi). I also bought a Belkin Screencast adaptor. 
    The computer arrived and there was the WiDi shortcut on the desktop. I plugged the Screencast adaptor to my tv through an HDMI cable and set the tv to the correct channel for the input. Great so far! 
    Per Intel's list of updates (http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wtech/iwd/sb/CS-033375.htm), I went through and updated the wireless driver and then the Graphics driver. When I tried to update the Intel Wireless Display software, the process was aborted. And my screencast said that the monitor display could not be sent to tv. 
    After a lot of searching, I realized that my i5-2450M processor does not appear on Intel's list of compatible processors. System requirements can be found at http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wtech/iwd/sb/CS-031059.htm which says that the processor must be:
    ONE of the following:
    Intel® Core™ i7: 640M; 660LM; 640LM; 620LM; 620M; 610E; 690UM; 680UM; 660UM; 640UM; 620UM; 660UE; 2710QE; 2820QM; 2720QM; 2635QM; 2630QM; 2657M; 2649M; 2629M; 2620M; 2617M; 2540M; 2520M; 2510E; 2640LM; 2620LM; 2630UM; 2610UM; 2530UM; 2920XM
    Intel® Core™ i5: 580M; 560M; 540M; 520M; 480M; 460M; 450M; 430M; 580UM; 560UM; 540UM; 520UM; 470UM; 430UM; 2540M; 2520M; 2410M; 2537M
    Intel® Core™ i3: 390M; 380M; 370M; 350M; 330M; 330E; 2310M
    Strange, but at that point I was just angry that the store and/or Lenovo had made a whopping mistake. After all, the WiDi shortcut and program was on my laptop; there has to be a reason for that, right?
    After a lot of searching, I haven't come up with any answers, only more questions. Here on Best Buy, I searched for pc laptops that support WiDi. A list of 36 or 37 machines came up as qualifying. However, in going through them one by one, only a handful have processors that appear on Intel's list for the System Requirements. 
    I am very confused. Is Intel's list out of date? But if that's so, why didn't my attempt to update and use the software work? Are bestbuy and costco and multiple laptop makers mistaken when they say a machine is capable of supporting Wireless Display? What the heck is going on? Can anyone help me figure this out?
    The Lenovo is on it's way back, but I need a new laptop as my old one is literally falling apart. A new one with WiDi would be extremely useful for a disabled family member. I'm also stuck with the Screencast I bought now too. Beyond all that, I'm really curious what is going on. Am I just stupid or befuddled or . . .is there something I'm missing? Any help would be so, so appreciated. Thank you.

    The notebook does fully support WiDi but for some unknown reason, yours simply did not work. The CPU specs from Intel list WiDi as a capability of the CPU and the notebook has the appropriate hardware. I couldn't say why it didn't work but Lenovo does not advertise WiDi as a function of that model on their website so something is obviously off.

    Hi
    To be honest I never tried to connect my notebook to TV with Intel Wireless Display but I found some informations on Intel page:
    http://www.intel.de/content/www/de/de/architecture-and-technology/intel-wireless-display.html
    here is a nice HowTo movie created by Intel:
    http://communities.intel.com/community/tech/intel_widi
    But requirements are:
    Core CPU i7-620M, i5-540M, i5-520M, i5-430M, i3-350M and i5-330M
    Furthermore you need Intel-HM57-, -HM55-, -QM57- or -QS57- chipset
    And preinsatlled Windows 7.
    Should check this with your notebook!

  • Intel Wireless Display not installing on W530

    I noticed recently that Intel Wireless Display (WiDi) was not installed on my W530, despite my recollection of installing it via Lenovo Update.  So I tried downloading the latest version both from Lenovo (3.5) and directly from Intel (4.0), but neither will install on my system.  During the install, I get a message saying "This platform is not compatible with Intel WiDi or the application is in use. Please see the log for more details."  Now, since I have an Intel i7 CPU with HD 4000 integrated graphics and an Intel wireless card (Centrino Ultimate 6300), my system meets the system requirements for WiDi.  i have also updated the Intel PROSet wireless software to the most recent version, as recommended by Intel's website. 
    Kaso suggested on the Notebook Review forums that this could happen if I clean installed Windows instead of booting from the Lenovo-supplied OEM image, since there may be specific registry keys or values that signify the system supports WiDi.  As i did clean-install Windows, I'm wondering if anyone knows what those specific registry keys or values might be, so I can add them in. 
    And if anyone has a different idea why WiDi won't install on my system, I'd appreaciate your input as well.  Thank you. 
    Thinkpad W530, i7-3720QM, 1920x1080 screen, 32GB RAM, dual SSDs (Samsung 830, Crucial M4 mSATA), Quadro K2000M, 9-cell battery, DVD burner, backlit keyboard, Bluetooth, Intel 6300 wireless card

    I have had a number of difficulties with Intel WIDI aswell on my W530. And I will give you a few recommendations.
    I recently clean installed my windows and used the Lenovo update tool to install and update all drivers. Then I installed the WIDI app from the lenovo page (3.5 something). Then it works like a charm. My windows reinstall is some coorporate reinstall. So it is not Lenovo generic windows.
    You cannot install WIDI for some reason if you have your computer connected to any monitors or in the dock. I think it has something to do with the installer having difficulties with recognizing the Intel HD 4000 when you are at the same time using the NVIDIA GPU.
    I have tried a lot of different combinations/versions of WIDI, Intel proset and HD4000 drivers before the reinstall and not all of them work. First I updated all the drivers and it did not work, then I rolled back the drivers and it still did not work. Finally I got it to work after hours of work. But I do not remember what versions I used when it did finally work. After the windows reinstall everything works.
    I am using:
    Intel WIDI 3.5.40
    Intel HD 4000: 9.17.10.2843
    Intel Proset: 15.6.1.0
    I am very hesitant upgrading any of the drivers/apps because I fear it will cause problems with WIDI.
    Let me know if you have any questions. Perhaps I am able to answer those.
    I should perhaps mention that WIDI is not exactly the perfect technology. I have a brand new LG TV with WIDI, but I still encounter pixelations and other stuff once in a while, but I think it has something to do with my router (which is in another room) and a lot of WIFI noise in my apartement building with a lot of different WIFI connections.
    A moment ago I launched WIDI to look for the version number and this is what I saw. So perhaps I need to update something today. I will look into it when I get home where my TV is.

  • Dell Studio Laptop with Intel Core i5 S15Z with Intel Wireless Display issues (WIDI) (pkg deal)

    i bought this laptop in Jan,2010 . Due to some h/w issue BB replace it   in April. When i tested my wireless display capability using the  the Intel Wireless Display  option i got a message "Intel My Wifi Technology not enabled. Restart the computer and try again." i have restarted my laptop several times. Also in the icon tray when i keep the mouse pointer on top of Intel My Wifi Technology it gives a message "Adapter not found". Please help.
    I took the laptop to Geek squad in BB and they told me that they need to put the laptop to factory defualt and troubleshoot the issue that why the wireless adapter is not enabled.
    Any suggestion as i don't want to go through this madness of backing up the data and restoring again. This will be my 3rd time . Any other alternatives .
    Anybody using the above system with Netgear push2tv . Can you share the output of device manager as i like to see what wireless device you are seeing  as i am suspecting this laptop may not have one but then sice i see the s/w available i am confused ?

    Almost every time we see a WIDI display issue, it is because the user is trying to use it too far away from the t.v.. It has a very short distance and when out of range, shows an adapter not found error. Playing with it, we found that over 15 ft it adapter wouldn't connect at all, and the closer the better as far as connectivity.

    Does the iPhone 5 Have Flash?

    The Puffin browser, available in the app store for a few bucks runs flash via a workaround.  You can get a free trial version which will run flash for 14 days so you can see if it does what you need.  A side benefit of Puffin, is that it displays full web sites, not the mobile web sites.  This is very useful for some purposes such as banking options not available on mobile.  I got it for a trip I was taking, and still use it from time to time when a site doesn't display properly on Safari.
