    I know Best Buy has the exclusive contract for Intel Wireless Display Technology (WIDI) with three of their "Blue Label" laptops (Dell, Sony, Toshiba). I just had to return for the third time the Dell version (orginially purchased in Febuary. This time the actual wireless card melted the plastic.

    I heard Asus is the most reliable manufacture out there, does anyone know if Asus is going to come out soon with:

    1) Intel Wireless Display (WIDI) laptop
    2) lighted keyboard
    3) I5 processor

    luckly Best Buy took care of it and issues me a store credit for the full amount of the laptop. But, with that I would have to purchase it through best buy.

    Anything in the rumor mills around here to suggest that Asus is coming out sometime in June with those 3 specs?

    i5 and backlit keyboards are nothing new, but there's no word about the WIDI feature.
