I’ve been using Pis to stream video from webcams for various experiments and the built-in wireless on the 3 and Zero W was game changing. All the usb WiFi adapters I had tried previously were unreliable or had too much latency. Very excited to try out the improved wireless on this board

I did some experiments with MiraCast (using MiracleCast) with the built in wireless on the RPi3. However I ran into several issues (connections not working sometimes; unreliable connections which would stop after a short time). Later I found a forum post which said that these issues could be related to the built-in wireless not correctly supporting WFD. Maybe the RPi3B+ fixes this issue but someone would have to try that.

> the built-in wireless on the 3 and Zero W was game changing Definitely, the Pi Zero W is now my go-to controller for almost anything that needs one. The fact that Microcenter frequently sells them for $5 seals it. I pair them with a $15 aMLC (MLC in SLC mode) industrial MicroSD card[1], and they've been rock solid, no FS corruption on power loss, no Wi-Fi drop outs. The ability to add the Pi Camera board and have a tiny full HD networked camera with trustworthy "firmware" is a killer feature though, pre-made IP cameras at any price tend to have outdated insecure or even malicious firmware that may or may not be replaceable.
