So it's been a long day, you plop down on the couch, turn on the TV and grab your the laptop and a cold beverage. But while you're watching that re-run of The Office on TBS you come across an awesome video on the web - probably the Engadget Show - and instead of watching that expensive 40-inch HDTV you end up starring at the smaller screen. Okay, so maybe that's our specific scenario, but you'd probably hook up your laptop to a TV in a number of different situations if it didn't involve cables, dongles, and extra software -- basically if it were just easier. Well, it's supposed to be with the $999 Toshiba Satellite E205 and its included Netgear Push2TV adapter.
Exclusively sold at Best Buy as part of its Blue Label program, the 15-inch Core i5-powered laptop is outfitted with Intel's Wireless Display -- what we've taken to calling WiDi (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/intel-announces-widi-hd-wireless-display-technology/) -- which wirelessly connects the laptop to any HDTV using the included Netgear with just the push of a button. But can you really watch Hulu on the big screen without leaving your couch? And is the E205 even a laptop you'd want to use in the first place? We've been "testing" it -- or watching loads of web video on our TV -- for the last couple of days to find out. Read on for our full review!
