I love my Google home. I've also bought several Philips hue lights which is what I use it for the most. I like how it syncs with your google account - in the morning I say "Hey Google, Good Morning!" and she tells me the basic weather and what is on my calendar for the day. And the news, but I usually cut her off. I've also found myself listening to a lot more music with the 6 months free youtube red. I'm really impressed. Plays about anything you want. I usually just tell her an artist or type of music and let her pick the mix. The only thing I would wish for is to be able to bluetooth podcasts from my phone. I think I can play some, but not everything I want. Otherwise, very pleased. She can answer almost any question (way better than the Echo!) and I'm sure I'll start buying the Nest products and will love this even more!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had a hard time choosing between a Chromecast and a Roku so I ended up buying one of each to use on my main 2 TV's. For me, there's no choice now, the Chromecast is better. Thought I'd like the Roku remote, but my phone or tablet are easier to use than the very basic Roku remote. And you can continue to use the phone while casting to the TV. Also being able to cast to the TV from my laptop is great. It gives me so many more options than the Roku. Then today I found out that live YouTube videos won't play on my Roku but is no problem on my Chromecast. The picture quality is excellent. I highly recommend and may go buy a second one so I don't have to keep moving it between TV's when I find things that I can't do with my Roku.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Can I take it on air airplane. How big are the lithium batteries?
There are no batteries in the Google home. Should be fine to take with you on a plane.

multiple t.v useage
If I bought one for each t.v in my house could I watch a different show on each t.v using the same tablet/phone/PC?
You could watch different shows, but you would need to use a different device to cast to each TV. Use the phone for one, and tablet for the other. Or cast from the Chrome browser using a computer on one of them.

add to other question
I asked a question about the chrome cast working with other streaming sites but I forgot to mention that I have a Microsoft surface RT tablet and some apps like the chrome browser won't download on it. It is one thing I am disappointed with this tablet for..... pretty much the only thing really, there are other things it won't allow me to download but that is the only one o can think of that pertains to this. Would it still be ideal for me to purchase the chrome cast?
If you have a smart phone it's definitely still worth it!

Who should buy 2 chromecast media players
One for each TV. You can move it, but it's so cheap it's hardly worth the trouble.

Will it work with Windows XP
Will it work with Windows XP? I have a wireless modem/router I was given by at&t for fiber optics but was told by the service tech that that model is known for losing it's wireless signal, so my second question is since my pc is close to the tv , can I run a cable instead of wireless?
You have to have wireless, but windows XP will be fine as long as you use the Chrome browser and install the free Chromecast extension.
