Chromecast yet
While there hasn’t been a massive swathe of
features added to the new Chromecast, there has
been a good number of minor updates that have
refreshed and tweaked some of the weaknesses
that had been weeded out from the original. First

it’s slightly lighter than the original and a new puck

soon spot the adaptive antenna that’s also been
used within Chromecast to help maintain(hopefully) steadier streaming speeds. The new
antenna is an ideal way to keep your video
resolution continuously at its peak level, while
making sure buffering is kept to an absolute
minimum – a pesky problem that once plagued
numerous Chromecast owners in the past. Casting
is quicker, there are more compatible apps than
ever before and, best of all, it still has that very low
price point that enticed millions of users the fi rst
time around. Is there really any reason why you
shouldn’t buy one?Better Wi-Fi support and revamped design make the
new Chromecast a tempting prospectUpgrading any device can be a big deal and
it’s a decision that some shouldn’t take
lightly. In regards to the original Chromecast,
it was without doubt a solid, well-built and
ultimately useful product, but it did have its
faults. One of the great things about the
revamped version is that it quashes all the
fundamental issues that plagued the original,
making it a far more intuitive, usable and
stable product than before. If you’ve
experienced little trouble with your current
Chromecast, there’s no major reason to
upgrade, but for those seeking a better
stream, snap one of these up right away.my current
