Screw you Engadget - you're getting cheques from Red Bull as well as Apple now!!]]>Feb 1st 2010 11:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/
in keeping with comments not related to the actual article, i like how she has that chair setup next to the tv. it looks like it's the chair for guests she doesn't like.

"hey guys, thanks for coming to my viewing party of the jersey shore! ziegler and laura (oh look at how excited you guys are!) can sit with me on the couch. umm...josh tops? you, uh, you take that chair over there."

"but i can't see the screen. let me just move it."

"you move that chair and you die!"

"sheesh, lay off the redbull, stern."

stern sternly looks down at josh tops. josh quails under her unrelenting gaze. he quietly sits in the chair and weeps. joanna nods to herself multiple times and pulls a deer leg dripping blood out of her purse and chews away menacingly. they commence with watching the jersey shore marathon and joy abounds for all save one.

wouldn't the main benefit of this thing be for viewing media? if i'm just browsing the web, i'm using the laptop screen. i'd only want to use the tv when i'm watching a video and maybe playing some awesome games like solitaire. ]]>Feb 1st 2010 10:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/Feb 1st 2010 11:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/Feb 1st 2010 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/Hooking up the Mac mini to a 40 inch screen and playing WoW with wireless keyboard and mouse is a blast.

I'll stick to playing videos on my big screen through the use of my $99 SlingCatcher with the SlingProjector software running on my computer. It the most impressive aspect of the SlingProjector. The ability to grab just a small window of my computer's screen and send it out to the TV is huge. I love my SlignCatcher...thanks SlingMedia.]]>Feb 1st 2010 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/You guys have it all wrong - if something's worth seeing, it's worth the walk to see it, none of this namby-pamby 'tele-viewing'.]]>Feb 1st 2010 4:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/Feb 1st 2010 8:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/

I know...when ever some simple trivial task is described as if it's the most inconvenient and labour intensive activity known to man on gadget blogs it always makes me wonder how lazy have we all gotten.

I have a spare HDMI cable that just sits there for when I want to connect my netbook. It takes less than a second. Does millions of dollars of R&D really need to go towards doing away with a single second activity?

The clowns above comparing this to old wired phones, Ethernet cables or sending mail via the post office...those are tasks that were made easier/more portable by technology. If my laptop can only show the media and I can't use it, I don't CARE how portable it is.]]>Feb 1st 2010 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/
I bought a used C2D MacBook for $400, loaded up Leopard on it, docked it to my TV/Stereo/External storage, and I use Mac OS X's Screen Sharing application on my couch-side MacBook to control the docked MacBook.

It is absolutely supreme, being able to use your laptop as an ultimate remote control, not to mention that you can still browse the web, chat, etc. on the couch-side laptop, without all of it showing up on the big screen, since you actually have TWO computers. Anyone who currently uses a MacBook should check this solution out. It just makes way more sense than having to pay the premium for any other sort of Wireless HD hardware/interface. To my knowledge, W7 doesn't have this feature, though I'm sure you can fire up remote desktop with little hassle.]]>Feb 1st 2010 10:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/
There is actually tons of software to do that been around for years. I actually use my android phone to control my Windows 7 box connected to my tv now but I used to use a laptop in the past.

I see this wireless tech more for just those times when you want to see things on your TV, which for me is pretty much just bluray and tv shows using whatever application. I don't really want to have my tv as my extended desktop because I need that on my monitor. Hopefully 1080p and protected content will be available soon, seems like a great solution to me.]]>Feb 1st 2010 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/
Only thing is don't you have to leave the laptop's screen open all the time in order for it to work? One thing that annoys me about my MB is that I can't shut the lid and tell it not to go to sleep or anything.]]>Feb 2nd 2010 1:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/Feb 1st 2010 10:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/Feb 1st 2010 11:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/

Uhh...that's perfectly fine. It's like the expression "smooth sailing". I don't think she meant to say "operating smoothly".

I stopped reading after that.
Sorry, not acceptable to me, just another crippled intel fad technology that's not ready for the masses yet.
How can they make such good CPUs but suck at video and graphics and storage adapters and basically everything else?

If you're watching a 2-hour movie and don't touch the laptop during that time you wouldn't even notice the 2 second difference. Of course i assume the difference remains constant for the whole time, if it did not, that would be a disaster.

I'd be happy to use this instead of HDMI.]]>Feb 1st 2010 11:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/What about for gaming though? It would not work _at_all_ ... plus the fact that it's limited to 720p...

Too many "cons" just to be able to not use a wire.]]>Feb 1st 2010 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/
Yes, gaming wouldn't work at all, but i for example only use HDMI for movies so the lag wouldn't be much of a problem.]]>Feb 1st 2010 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/http://bit.ly/toshiba-e205-details]]>Feb 1st 2010 11:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/Feb 1st 2010 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/
So it sounds like the only viable way to make this work is to actually watch the laptop screen while controlling the content.

As for the tech, if I am ever able to get decent internet I would love to have this, until then watching any video from the web is a pain. 4G is my only hope because AT&T doesn't give a rip about their DSL speed here. Though if it's really solid I could see using if for full time monitor connection when at home though. Don't need internet speed for that. :)]]>Feb 1st 2010 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/A would have been my first choice. :) Do you think the cable box is rated to have a TV sitting on top of it? :) It's usuall the other way around...but it does look nicer that way. ]]>Feb 1st 2010 2:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/toshiba-satellite-e205-with-intel-wireless-display-review/

It looks great. It's for those times I guess when you found a nice youtube video in the house and instead of calling your roommate to come and watch on the small laptop screen you can switch the tv and watch it on the big screen instead.

And you don't have to go and setup yet another pc for a dedicated media pc.]]>Feb 1st 2010 1:43PM
