    Hey folks, I'm looking to get my hands on some hardware that will mirror wants on the laptop screen and display on an ipad.

    Needs to be wireless, any recommendations?

    also needs to be interaction, i.e. if i select something on the ipad mirror, the mouse on the laptop must press the button on the laptop screen

    Not possible from a Macbook Air to an iPad anyway, not via Airplay, I just tried it.

    Would a VNC software not suffice? As in Teamviewer?

    Cheers, Teamviewer looks like it could do the job

    I know the OP wants Windows to iPad. However for a Mac solution, I use Duet. Put app on Mac, app on iPad, connect iPad to Mac with lightning cable and away you go! A second 'monitor' for your Mac!

    Duet also works on windows PCs

    I use Microsoft's remote desktop app, I have never had any problem with it.
