I wasn't sure that this device would work with my multi-computer setup. It works like a dream. I can operate all my systems from a laptop and see everything on the big screen. I am thrilled with the product. Thanks guys.

A brilliant, low-cost add-on for Android device users in particular, providing a blissfully simple way to beam video from your device to the big screen. People who want to stream their own media collection should look elsewhere. The Chromecast is cheap and easy to use, but there aren’t many apps that support it yet.
