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.

- 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
