If there's nothing in the store you really want these are a great way to use your best buy gift cards or coupons for movies, music, etc. Assuming your ecosystem of choice is android. The same could be said for itunes gift cards.

Google Chromecast Audio: Stream your favorite music with Google Chromecast Audio. Simply plug into your speaker's auxiliary input and connect to your Wi-Fi network. Then just tap the Cast button from your favorite apps on your phone, tablet or computer to cast songs, radio stations and podcasts to your speaker.

does exactly what it's supposed to

I'm looking forward to when it can sync between speakers but for now it does exactly what I want. My only concern is that it runs a little hot if you leave it plugged in all the time. FYI- this will not play the audio from youtube videos.

There are constantly new apps that support Chromecast everyday and the picture quality keeps getting better. With screen mirroring being supported on some android phones it's a steal. Great for gifts too!!

I wanted to love it...but...
on November 24, 2013

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was very excited to find this chromebook for ~$190 "geek squad certified refurbished" on best buy's website. Apparently whatever they did to verify that it was ready to be resold was not good enough. It could not connect to wireless networks. I took it back to best buy for the geek squad to look at and they couldn't fix it either. I liked the look and feel of it but obviously could not recover for the wireless adapter. It was absolutely a hardware issue since I reformatted and re-installed the OS multiple times. Best Buy was great about returning it in store even though I bought it online. Unfortunately they no longer sold this model in store for me to exchange and I didn't want to take a chance on another dud refurbished model. If it had worked I'm pretty sure I would have loved that laptop.
I am now very happy with the acer c720.
What's great about it: price, construction, weight
What's not so great: wireless adapter didn't work
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Dish Network

I can watch Dish Network on my iPad via my home Wifi. Will I be able to stream it to a tv?
Looks like DISH's app doesn't support this. If your device supported google's new "cast screen" option then you could do that but since it's an iPad I don't see that happening anytime soon. https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/6059461?hl=en

External MyCloud to TV

I have a WD MyCloud external hard drive connected to home network. I know with my Samsung TV I can access this hard drive to watch the movies on it using a Samsung wifi adapter. I would like to watch the contents of my hard drive on a Sharp TV that doesn't have wifi. Will this device allow me to access my network hard drive?
Not directly but....the easiest way to do this would be to access the network hard drive using your laptop/computer and play your files using the chrome browser (while casting the tab). The chrome browser has support for AVI, MP4, M4V, MPEG, OGV, and WEBM videos. It probably supports other formats too but that's what I found with the little research I did.

With Chromecast can I stream movies and tv shows from my Kindle Fire tablet to my tv?

Looks like you may need an app called Avia to do this: http://www.gizmag.com/stream-video-kindle-fire-hdx-dlna/31118/

chromecast into smart dvd player

I have an older TV and the hdmi port Is broken. Can the chromecast be plugged into my smart dvd player?
Most likely not. This will only work if the hdmi port on your dvd player is an INPUT. Most DVD players only have OUTPUT HDMI ports. I could answer more definitively if I knew what the make and model of you DVD player is.

In case something goes wrong with the computer can i return it?

Maybe the computer has a issue or shuts down etc.
Yes, normal return policy applies. I easily returned mine when I received it and it didn't work. read the description or call best buy to see how long the geek squad certified benefits last.

Chromebook offers on refurbished

Google says their refurbished products do not include offers https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/2703646

Does this apply to geeksquad refurbished units?

If I buy a refurbished chrome book on best buy does it include 100Gb of googledrive, for instance?
I believe you would have an argument for receiving that offer since this is a new chromebook bought from an authorized retailer.
