   Not sure about the laptop only or not.  I did enough research to be able to   
   tell if my PC was capable of the wireless display feature, and bought it.  I   
   am not a big fan of wireless A/V over wired, however in my case it was a need   
   and the only way to accomplish it without expensive hubs.      
      
   I have wired outdoor speaker planters, to an older Onkyo receiver, and   
   muti-room switcher.  It's connected to an airport express and itunes.  Prior   
   to the airport express it was a 200 disc CD changer. Lets just say that the   
   wiring was a lot of work to get it from the second floor of my home to the   
   back yard, and frankly I couldn't hear the difference between   
   itunes versus the 200 disc changer as the outdoor speakers were a garage sale   
   find and crap anyway :)  Since then I'm more open to wireless tech -- except   
   for my home theater system.     
      
   After owning the Miracast/Microsft WD for a few weeks now, the only minor   
   annoyance is having to reconnect it (in monitor settings) each time Windows   
   reboots.  Otherwise I've noticed zero difference between it and the HDMI hard   
   connected display.
