Google Chromecast is the little dongle that's made a big difference in our everyday viewing habits. The 3rd generation Chromecast was recently released and here's what you can expect from the latest edition of this small but hugely entertaining device.
The 3rd generation Chromecast, like its predecessors, remains the epitome of simplicity. It really is a piece of cake to plug directly into your television, while the guided set up process is still short and sweet. You can be streaming in a matter of minutes.
New Chromecast, and a slightly new design to go with it. The glossy plastic casing of Generation 2 has been replaced with a matte finish, although given the dongle is so unobtrusive, you'll probably never notice this cosmetic change.
Depending on the strength of your internet connection, streaming on the Chromecast has always been quick and reliable. The new generation takes it up a notch, with Google saying that this device is 15% faster than its predecessor.
The 3rd generation Chromecast will have the ability to play music with other connected speakers paired with Google’s smart gadgets. Stay tuned!
Use the Chromecast to mirror your laptop screen onto your TV, using the Cast function on your laptop's Chrome browser. Who needs glasses when you can surf the web or see other media on your big TV screen?

For years Chromecast has been the best value in HD streaming video players, and that hasn’t changed with the 3rd Generation model that released in 2018. If you want to turn any TV into a smart TV capable of streaming Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video and many, many more, this is the cheapest - and best - way to do it.
Marginally faster streaming; Nifty, versatile design; Same low price;
Doesn’t stream in 4K; No remote control
Didn't realise this was an older model without remote Would have preferred newer model with remote
Great device for casting to a non smart tv, good purchase for anyone wanting to stream videos to their tv.
Overall decent, Works with my google home Easy setup Nice background when idle Frequently laggy(possibly router) Sometimes wish there was a remote
So easy to use and love that I can play Netflix, Disney + and most apps all from my phone! Would recommend to anyone wanting to covert their TV to a Smart TV. Quick delivery as well

I use my Laptop, install Netflix, go onto Wi Fi, open Chrome Browser, search and download Google Cast Icon to the Taskbar. Put Chromecast into a HDMI port of the TV. Open Netflix on the Laptop, click the Cast Icon in Chrome and Netflix goes onto the TV, thanks to Chromecast.
I've had the chromecast for around a month now and I like it. I can watch my youtube videos and anime episodes on the lounge television now, it's been fun watching stuff on the lounge tv instead of my smaller laptop screen. Also with the setup, it was quick. Plugged it in, connected it to my phone and I was done. I've tried casting from my oculus quest to the chromecast but apparently it was slow and laggy (according to the people who were in the lounge with me), but I think this is just a problem with the network and not the chromecast itself. If you have a smart tv you shouldn't need to buy a chromecast (this stuff should be built into the tv) but if your tv isn't a smart tv than you should get a chromecast
Is an incredibly flexible product! Has struggled a few times, but for 400 bucks there is absolutely nothing to complain about
The Chromecast is amazing. I love being able to binge watch my favourite shows on Netflix Can also watch things on Facebook and YouTube. It feels so cosy with my new Chromecast and I dont have to upgrade to a new TV that I didn't really want to buy or could afford.
