I ordered the Chromecast because of the free 3 months of Netflix. I figured it's only $11,
considering that I already subscribe to Netflix anyway.
However, I kept thinking about it and couldn't come out with any possible reason that
I have for using the Chromecast.
I have a Samsung 50" Smart TV which is already capable of doing a LOT more.
Attached to the same TV is my HTPC. I also connect my laptop to my TV sometimes.
On top of that, I also have the Samsung MHL dongle that allows me to connect
my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 phone to the TV. Each one of these devices
allows me to browse with the Chrome browser and/or watch Netflix, Hulu, YouTube,
as well as any streaming video(with or without Flash).
So... what is the point of the Chromecast... really? Oh well... it's only $11.
