It's inexpensive, practical, easy to use, and it's a fantastic gift for anyone. Even people who already have a Chromecast probably need another one. It's a simple little device that plugs into any HD TV and streams the contents of a Chrome browser window on a desktop, or HBO GO, Netflix, Hulu Plus, Pandora, YouTube, Google Play Movies & TV and Google Play Music from a mobile device. While it is not the most full-featured web-enabled video streaming device, it does a few things very well, making it a must-have device for anyone with an HD television.
