Enjoy a world of entertainment with Google Chromecast. Just connect to your HDTV's HDMI interface and your home Wi-Fi network to get started. You can stream your favorite apps from your compatible phone, tablet or laptop, plus use your phone as a remote to search, play and pause content.

Good for introductory SmartTV Users

The price is right!
Can be used with a SmartTV or a non-SmartTV.
Very portable. Great for multiple TV users or on the go. You do not have to buy 2,3,4+ Chromecasts. You just need one HDMI port IN on your TV. If you have a USB power source on your TV, great! Otherwise, this can get powered through AC.
Best feature by far is the "Share My Screen". Can be used with your device to show whatever is on your screen. Not just apps that integrate with Chromecast.
Easy setup, but the only thing I found annoying was I had to reboot everything (internet and TV) during setup to get all my Chromecast features to work which was not part of the directions, but is on TECH Support. I would recommend toggling every power source after setup to use as a precaution.

Hard to find item

This product is hard to find but useful to many people. Just make sure to do your research before buying. This is not compatible with SDATA hard drives. If you don't know what type you have, find out online. This is best used for people trying to use their old hard drives from their outdated PCs and use them as an external HD with USB (the USB cord is included inside the box).
The unit itself performs well. Decent speed.

What's great about it: It does its job well
What's not so great: Install could be easier/better instructions
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have a smart TV. Will buying a chromecast enable me to access the web, email, eBay, etc. from my smart TV?

Only when you use your Device/PC as the source and share your screen. Chromecast does not make your SmartTV/Non-SmartTV internet enabled. But it does show a web page from a device on the screen, so you can view anything on the internet with a device/PC. You just need to type on the device/Client. And of courcse this can work wirelessly.
