    The link below shows processors with Intel's Wireless Display capabilities...

    Intel Wireless Display

    Which includes the i7-2620M.

    Isn't the i7-2620M the i7 processor available with the 13 MBP 2011?

    Would this mean that a 13" MBP 2011 running windows 7 (a requirement of the WIDI) would have WIDI that worked?

    Maybe I'm just really confused... but this would be killer.

    WiDi also requires the use of an Intel wi-fi solution (ie Intel Centrino) in order for it to work. Apple relies on Broadcom for their wi-fi (or Airport in Apple's language) solution in the MacBook Pros (and maybe for the entire line).
