Default fpv using laptop

I just thinking about using my laptop for FPV for a micro, short distance models.
I have a VAIO-P (650gr, 1600x768, 10x5x1 inch) with 2.4GHz wifi, BT, camera (usb) inside.

Is the external 2.4GHz receiver + usb video grabber card the only way, howto get a video inside ?

I saw some Iphone/Android compatible toys with wifi video+controlling, is there some special kind of transmitter + software available to use regular ad-hoc wifi for video ?

Laptop screens are notorious for being impossible to see in sunlight.

fhhuber... is correct...I use a laptop to record the flight when flying FPV, and some by-standers try and watch the screen during the flight, its very difficult to see the screen for sure..
