- Is it worth $99?
- At $99 at abacus as of November 3, 2026, it is at the high end of its recent new-price range. It is a solid 4K HDR streamer, but comparable dongles often sell for less, so check the price history before buying.
- How is it different from the HD version?
- The 4K model outputs up to 4K with Dolby Vision and ships with a voice remote; the HD model caps at 1080p and is cheaper. Buy the 4K version only if your TV and content support 4K.
- Does it need a power outlet?
- Yes. The dongle draws power over USB, and Google recommends the included power adapter rather than a TV's USB port for reliable 4K playback.
- Can I add Ethernet?
- Not out of the box. It is Wi-Fi only unless you buy a separate USB-C Ethernet adapter, which also needs a powered hub.
- What is in the box?
- The Chromecast dongle, the voice remote, batteries, a USB power cable and a power adapter. An HDMI extender is included for tight TV ports.
- When is it cheapest?
- It tends to drop during Black Friday, Prime Day-style sales and Google's own promotions. Set a price alert rather than paying the current $99.
