WiGig is a more practical technology, in my humble opinion.
I have a WiGig-enabled laptop and a WiGig dock with 3 1080p monitors, a Ethernet cable, and all of my peripherals connected to the dock including a 10 port hub with a USB3 HDD.
I can transfer files to my HDD (80MB/s), to the network (90MB/s), play 1080p videos on 1 monitor, browser on another, and play games on the last one without noticing any latency at all.
And I can move my laptop to the other side of the room without any noticeable connection issues, which is pretty surprising considering they're advertising WiGig as a short-range wireless technology (although having large obstructions between the laptop and the dock will cause problems very quickly).
For a first-gen product, I'm pretty impressed. The room-wide wireless gigabit Ethernet alone is already a killer feature for me, but the multiple wireless displays and peripherals makes for an even more amazing package. Can't wait to see how they iterate on it.
