Google Chromecast (2015)
Google wowed us with the Chromecast when it launched two years ago. At the time, the idea of a $35 device you could plug into your HDTV to watch streaming media was remarkable. It no longer seems as novel, with other inexpensive solutions on the market, even still the Chromecast remains a top-notch...- Inexpensive
- Easy to set up
- Compatible with many apps and services
- Responsive
- No major new features over the original Chromecast
- Requires a smartphone, tablet, or PC to control

Google Chromecast (2015) Review
Even if you're already committed to another streamer, the Chromecast's new app alone makes picking one up well worth the 35 bucks.- New design fits any port
- Slightly faster load speeds
- New app is a huge improvement
- Cross-platform search at this price is impressive
- Search could use a bit of work
- Still can't control playback from main app
- What's On could stand some more personalization
Chromecast 2
When I saw the first version of Chromecast it was around the same time as a similar product from Roku, to my mind the latter was a better product at a near similar price. So what will the second version have to offer to change my mind?
Chromecast (2015) - Same but different but same
Google's second generation Chromecast isn't that different to its predecessor. There's a new design and a few clever tweaks, but for all intents and purposes, it's the same product in a prettier shell. What has changed is the Australian media landscape.- Easy to setup and use
- Improved form factor
- Support for 5GHz wireless networks
- No option for a dedicated remote
- No support for 4K streaming
- A little more expensive this time
Google Chromecast review: a super streamer you can't ignore
Google has once again proved that it has the smarts to make streaming work. The new design is fun but functional, the new app more responsive and, for the most part, a joy to use. But the best thing about the Chromecast is the price - at a snip under ￡30, it is one of the cheapest ways to stream and...- Great new design
- Easy to set up
- Search needs improvement
- More apps needed
Chromecast 2
The original Chromecast is viewed by many as one of the best streaming devices on the market. The tiny stick let users stream video from their smartphone or tablet to any TV or monitor with an HDMI cable – and cost a piddly ￡30.- Still great value for money
- Added 5GHz Wi-Fi support
- Compact design
- Enhanced Chromecast companion app
- Many features not active in the UK
- Gaming is weak currently
What we wanted
Purchased for use in a public work space, exactly what we wanted.
