I want to use this over my laptop when I work outside. Does this work?

Yes it does it works great. Now I need one for my mac since I got a new one.

I don't know if the specific protector works, because I didn't manage to put it successfully (I'd say that you risk your money and nerves trying to apply the protector on such a large screen). I have put successfully, though, a protector of a different company in a smaller netbook, and it improved things, like having a matte screen.

If you could connect the laptop to the internet long enough to download the driver for this, it would work. Or you could use a USB to download the driver onto that laptop. This is a little bulky for a laptop tough. The make micro dongles that would probably work a lot better.

I usually use it right next to my laptop but after your question I tested it from about 10 feet from the screen and it worked fine. If I went further than that I would not be able to see the pointer but from across the room it worked fine.

It's a good idea. I don't see any reason why it would not work. I assume it would be installed on the outside.

It didn't work that great for me. I would suggest looking at something that you can attach to your laptop.

I have used it outdoors but unless the source device is also outside the range is pretty limited when the bluetooth signal has to go thru the house wall.

Probably not as mine didn't work properly and is very cheap.....I think any weather would ruin it if it actually worked.... I returned it

Hi Alexander, I would not put this in the outdoors. If you want to use it externally, build an enclosure for it with a glass window. Also I had trouble with the ddns server - it stopped working until today. If you have any luck let me know please. Thanks Tony

If the patio is enclosed I would assume that it would work, but the device itself is not weather resistant. You make want to look into the ones that are made for outdoor use.

I use mine outside under the eaves and not exposed to rain,it is connected to the USB port. A friend of mine with an RV mounts it on the roof in a plastic bag to keep out the rain.I understand that it is supposed to be an indoor antenna.

I installed it on my laptop.It comes with soft ware to down load.Had hoped to get another 10 feet of range,but it did nothing for me.I think you need the device that plugs in to the electrical outlet instead.

I plug it in and sit it or lay it in front of my laptop. It works better that way.

While this Belkin wireless dongle (adapter) does get warm, I would not say that it "overheats". Depending on the location you have it plugged into -- closer to power supply, close to fan, etc -- it should run cooler on a desktop than on a laptop, which is where I use it. I also think that because mine sits on the same side of my laptop as the exhaust fan, it does tend to get a little warmer. But it depends on what you consider "overheating" and what your concerns are there. Usually when these units overheat for an extended period, they burn out and stop working. Mine has been working for about 6 months, at least 10-12 hours per day if not more, with no problems at all. So I would say it's a pretty solid little adapter and I would recommend it.

It will work where ever you put it. If you want to mount it outside where it is exposed to the elements, the company has a exterior magnetic case available.

It is electric so I wouldn't leave it outside. Also the cord is about 3' long, but it should work fine with a extention cord if needed

You can use this on the ground or over a tree stand. It works good, it just takes a little time to set it up.

I put it behind my desktop as wireless receiver, it doesn't work well. Do not recommand for routers since it is kind big.
