The story of this device

The second-generation Chromecast departed from rigid sticks in favor of an ingenious circular disc with an integrated flexible HDMI cable for cramped ports. Upgrading to dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi with adaptive antenna arrays, it drastically minimized stream buffering at the same 35-dollar price.
