Good item
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is a good product to sync the laptop and smart tv. It would have been better if it is not restricted to just chrome browser and also supports the iPhone/iPad.

Family laptop viewing on TV
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Chromecast is a great idea, but it's only as good as the equipment used and the program streamed. You need to load your streaming through Google Chrome. Chromecast and an extension were free apps available to download from Google.com. We bought this to link our laptop to our television for family viewing. The WiFi capability allows us to watch our son play baseball while scanning other websites. The picture quality isn't HD, but that could be due to our internet speed, laptop age, or the team streaming quality. We bought one for both of our parents and Best Buy had the best price.

Great price! Extra features in BETA
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Scoured the net and actually got the last one at a Best Buy quite far from me. I so far the drive was worth it. It's a fun little gadget that can stream almost anything to your TV from your phone or laptop. I basically got mine for $11 because I was able to qualify for the free 3 month Netflix in time - so I can't complain much. The regular features work pretty nice. The extra features, in BETA, to stream your pc desktop and movie files weren't perfect but worked. Desktop was a bit laggy moving the mouse. And a lot of the video files (format) wouldn't play when I dragged into the browser to cast to TV. I'm assuming it's a codec issue or BETA issue. Could not play almost all my mp4 and some other formats. I haven't messed with it in a while so hopefully an update fixes that. But all in all, a fun gadget if you wanna show of that you can stream your desktop and movies wirelessly with just one gadget.

Easy to install and useful
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works as expected, an easy way to stream movies and photos to the TV. However, streaming from a desktop computer is limited to the contents of a Chrome browser tab, and it gets rather slow.

Useful and Inexpensive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Chromecast is an awesome little device. I now own two of them since my wife stole my first one for her sewing room. You can run apps from your phone, tablet or computer. It's supporting apps like HBOGo and Netflix as well as Youtube and all of the Google Play apps. I use mine primarily for streaming music from Google's Play Music app. This lets me stream to my full surround sound system and if I'm hosting a party other people can just stream from their collections also.

It blew way past my expectations, great product.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If not having a remote to go with your streaming device works for you then Chromecast is the best device out there. Playing from my phone or computer has been a smooth transition every single time.

works great with my Samsung S4
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When this first came out not many apps supported it. Now I can have TV shows or movies on my android phone and watch when I travel by using the ES chromecast app! Took I under two minutes to setup.

Nifty helpful gizmo
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're already streaming from your laptop to a TV, this will replace the HDMI cable! It's very easy to set up & use and works with many streaming services. Only downside is it has a dangling power-cord that requires a plug-in outlet nearby. There are already several things plugged into our power-strip, so you may need a larger one to accommodate the sideways power cord. Very good value for the cost.
