This revamped Chromecast is a far cry from the $35 streaming stick that first hit stores in 2013.
The new refresh adds an updated user interface and throws in a remote control for good measure.
Noticeably missing, though, is a way to access Apple TV content.
Whats New With Chromecast?
The Chromecast is a sleek, hockey puck-shaped gadget that shares the minimalist design of other Google products.
Its powered by an accompanying 7.5-watt power brick instead of the USB cable offered with some other models.
Also new to this years model is an included remote control.
“you’re free to just switch to the Chromecast and browse many video sources.
There’s also tight integration with YouTube TV.”
“You’ll have to use a Bluetooth game controller,” said Rubin.
The new Chromecast is likely to have many people saying, “Hey Google, pass the popcorn.”
