Originally unveiled on September 30, the fourth-generation Google Chromecast is a media streaming device with built-in Google TV that lets you stream content from popular sources including Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video and more at up to 4K HDR resolution. The device also retains the cast feature from previous generation Chromecasts, which lets you mirror content from a Chrome browser or compatible device to your TV.
This offer is available online until December 31, 2021 and all Netflix offers must be redeemed by March 1, 2022.

1. Some people can't seem to consider that others, perhaps the vast majority, have much different yet perfectly valid needs from theirs.
2. I suspect that Google's market research came to the conclusion that a simple device for $70 will sell better(*) than a Shield-killer for 2x or 3x the price.
(*) "Sell better" in this context may mean in greater quantities rather than maximizing profits. Perhaps Google's more pressing objective is to win market share from others like Apple rather than adding another $100M to their stash of $Bs of cash on hand.
When you deduct 85 to 120 . Device price will be 35
The two devices serve different markets and needs. If this device or an Amazon stick, etc. does the job for someone with basic needs then why would they want to pay the cost of a Shield?
Generally the specs are lower as one might expect with a slower CPU and less RAM. Perhaps some of the audio/video specs are equal/better.
The price of this device is $70. The basic Shield is ~$200 so ~3x the price. The Shield Pro is almost 4x the price.
If you plan to use ethernet, you should read this article: https://9to5google.com/2020/09/30/chrom ... et-google/
Basically, you need expensive usb hub (high powered) and ethernet adapter, which more than doubles price.
haha.. my head really hope to get a Nest Hello.. .. of course.. just Nest Mini ... hahaa
I would be more worried about the Google Chromecast device monitoring your whole damn device, right?
Bummer about the pre-orders though, but it's only a few weeks.
i got the android 9 mibox beta a few weeks ago and it has been solid since then. Got the official android 9 release today... Its no Nvidia Shield - but I'm pretty happy with the device seeing as I bought on sale in 2016 for 50$ CAD at the US walmart..
I will replace it eventually but, right now - I'm happy enough with it. If Android 9 didn't resolve some of the bugs I was experiencing I would probably be more inclined to replace it sooner - but Android 9 seems to have resolved most if not all the major problems I was having with the device -- although I am aware of some issues other people are experiencing (i.e. with 4k etc. which I don't use right now)
Regardless I am glad to see GOOGLE is updating their Chromecast to be more like Android TV.... I still have a first generation GOOGLE chromecast sitting in a drawer - it was a great device when it came out, but its nice to have the ability to cast, OR use a remote depending on what you want to do.
it supports stadia (sideloaded)
My LG OLED TV which is now 3 years old, has done a good job keeping up but is missing TSN which I don't use so it's no biggie.
also if you do get a new TV or go visit a friend, hotel, etc, you can take the Chromecast with you and use it there too. Nice and portable.
Today is perfect example. I'm going to mom's place for basement renovation. I take my Chromecast with me and hook it up to old monitor there with HDMI. I can Chromecast the Blue Jays game via Sportsnet app that way while I'm there
We already have a firestick 4K in another room --> I would have preferred this google TV device to that firetv (since we are mostly in the google ecosystem) - but the firetv is also doing everything we want well for now ...
No sideloading
YouTube
Android Upgrades
4k, Dolby, HDR, etc ...
just waiting to see the hardware specs on teardown ... and if there is adware built in...
200$ US dollar difference in the US = 120 $ CAD difference here. Go figure. Ordered.
