  For like $25 I don’t care if it’s laggy. I just want to be able to stream into any HDMI port

    I’d rather my TV run smoothly, crippling performance to save $40 is not something I’m interested in, personally.

      The response time to my phone is laggy but the picture is crisp and clean. If the picture itself has issues you have bad internet or a bad unit.

        Comparing it to a Shield or Apple TV it’s clear how weak it was. In fairness, seems like they could just sell both but of course it’s important that Google have a performant offering

  I was thinking the same. Matter integration and a faster processor. I think the hard part for users is the price point. They’re “upgrading” the Chromecast, which is good, but they are using a higher tier product to do it, so it will be treated as a graveyard project.
