  • I've said it once
  • And I'll say it 100 more
  • But the new wireless antenna is nothing short of astounding. It creates a near seamless streaming environment with less lag and less buffering time than almost anything – even full size set-top boxes – on the m
  • The Google Chromecast is a dirt-cheap wireless video dongle that streams Netflix
  • YouTube
  • Spotify
  • Pandora
  • HBO Now and thousands of other apps and games to your TV using an Android or Apple phone or tablet
  • Or a PC
  • As the controller. Its small size hid

The editors didn't like

  • As a fellow editor pointed out in our early hands on review
  • We're still looking for a native way to stream Amazon Instant Video from a phone or tablet to a Chromecast
  • Or mirror iOS devices to the TV with it. It's not wise to hold your breath for either
  • The lack of a dedicated remote means you always need a smartphone
  • Tablet or PC nearby to use it. Slightly more expensive boxes and sticks
  • With their physical remotes
  • Tactile buttons and onscreen displays
  • Are more convenient to use. The only way to wat
  • Still no interface or dedicated remote (if that bothers you)
  • Support for 1080p rather than 4K
  • Requires an Android or iOS device for setup
  • And can only stream Amazon videos from a PC
  • No native Amazon Instant Video
  • No remote control
  • Not many games
  • Not completely catch-up TV compatible
  • Still waiting on some functionality
  • Some apps and games are yet to catch up
  • It Can't Do Your Tax Return -- That's Literally About It
  • Search could use a bit of work
  • Still can't control playback from main app
  • What's On could stand some more personalization
  • Many features not active in the UK
  • Gaming is weak currently

  • It's quicker than the old version and the new app is great. The built-in HDMI cable is a nice touch. Really, though, it just works really well, it's easy to use, and it's only $35,
  • Google still doesn't have a remote control for Chromecast, which makes it the only streamer I can think of that doesn't have one. You have to use your phone, tablet, or computer, which can be a pain in the arse, especially if you have to enter a password
  • If you dont already have a Chromecast, then yeah, you should. $35 is so cheap for a device as capable and simple to use as this. But if you already have the original Chromecast, is it worth upgrading? Id say that depends on how your current system is pe...

  • Still waiting on some functionality, Some apps and games are yet to catch up
  • So, should you get one?If you already own a Chromecast and you're wondering if you need to upgrade, then the answer is no. If you want to play Android games on your TV then you'll have more fun with the Nexus Player. If you can't stand the eight seconds i...

  • Me parece que esta pequeña maravilla gana por su adaptabilidad y su mayor rapidez. El precio sigue siendo el mismo que el de su antecesor y las funciones son idénticas. De algún modo es un upgrade más bien cosmético, pero con mejoras pensadas para aqu...

  • Un precio lo suficientemente bajo es el arma de doble filo que esconde el nuevo Chromecast. Hacerse con uno es muy tentador, y si nuestra idea es principalmente enviar contenido desde el smartphone, habremos acertado de lleno porque nadie nos da más por m...
