Works great, but is limited in functionality. Would be better if it could mirror my computer screen.

Overall, it wasn't too hard to setup. Just its honestly not that much better than the the built in SmartTV functions of most TV's already. It just sort of replicates most of them unless you use Plex or another program to try and stream content from your PC to your TV.
The music streaming capability is also limited to Google Play bought tunes (if you use the default streaming off of Google Play on your phone, need Plex or something similar if you want to do more).
And the biggest kicker for me is no built in Amazon Prime streaming right now :( If you want it, you need to stream from a PC which is somewhat cumbersome compared to just telling it to connect using a phone or tablet.
Not bad for the price I guess but I'd probably try and get something more capable with a higher price point next time like a Roku 3.

The Chromecast works fairly well at streaming you tube and a few other applications from your smart phone or tablet, but for a few bucks more you can buy a wireless blue ray or a roku and get a lot more bang for the buck. OTOH, at $30, it's about the same price as hardwire connector for an IOS tablet.
