 It Turns Dumb TVs into Smart TVs, But Should You Buy the Google Chromecast? Let's say you're watching a movie or YouTube clip on your tablet, laptop, or smartphone and think it would look much better on your large-screen HDTV. Maybe you want to share it with a loved one. The sad fact is that there is no easy way to do that. Apple Airplay presents the simplest option, but requires an Apple TV unit, and only works with the iPad and other Apple products. Samsung, Sony, and others offer their own inelegant solutions, each with stark limitations and compromises. In fact, the best way to stream content from a laptop or mobile device to an HDTV is over an HDMI, Apple Digital AV, or HDMI MHL to USB adapter cable. But it's 2013, and we don't want no stinking wires. Enter Google Chromecast. For a mere $35, this HDMI- and Wi-Fi-enabled dongle promises to deliver the simplest content streaming to an HDTV. It works across platforms, including Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac, and only requires a Wi-Fi network and TV with an HDMI input. At least that's the promise, but there has to be a catch, right? » Find Out in This Full Google Chromecast Review
