    Most of the appeal of the Chromecast is that it’s a dongle you plug in once and never have to see again. It doesn’t need high performance and 32 gigs of RAM. It needs to play video. That’s its entire purpose. It’s controlled by any phone on your wifi, it doesn’t need a remote.

    For most users, this is an expensive downgrade.

      It’s controlled by any phone on your wifi, it doesn’t need a remote.

      Or you can use it’s remote and not need to use your phone for absolutely every little thing.
