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?

My older phones had easy ways to connect video output to HDMI, and then to a large TV screen. My current phone does not support MHL output, and does not have a micro HDMI port, so Chromecast is the ONLY way to display the screen contents of my phone on an alternate screen according to manufacturer's...
Overall decent, Works with my google home Easy setup Nice background when idle Frequently laggy(possibly router) Sometimes wish there was a remote
My daughter showed me her Chromecast a year and and it was interesting. Bought one to try and love it. The ability to transfer images, videos, etc from your phone/tablet/computer is an amazing thing and especially makes watching you tube videos enjoyable.
Never received it. Very unhappy.
The new Chromecast is much like the old Chromecast, but that's no bad thing The Chromecast is a great product that's clever on the engineering side but simple to use. Some might not like the lack of a physical remote, but that's part and parcel of the Chromecast experience – and there are lots of...
Affordable; Casting is neat; Good video and sound
Little new of note; No dedicated remote; No Amazon Video
In truth, there's very little to get excited about with the new Chromecast – the addition of 1080p 60fps streaming is hardly worth shouting about – but that doesn't stop it from being one of the cheapest and best ways to add smart functionality to a TV or monitor.
Cheap; Works with lots of apps; Google Home integration
No UI or physical remote; No 4K support
This version of chromecast will work with hd content. The higher spec device is for 4k. It is a very useful device easily moved from one TV to another or fitted onto a projector without any difficulty. It is small and more convenient than carrying around an xbox in your pocket.
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.
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.
Excellent online service. Value for money. Recommended
