It’s the holiday season and we are in full swing! While deals come and go, this one (and others before it) makes for a great gift at a super-low price.
Useful, cool, tech-infused stocking stuffers? Yes!
Right now, Office Depot is offering up the second version (1080p, not 4K) of the wildly-successful Chromecast for only $25. That’s $10 off the already low price of $35.
For The Newcomers
If you are a reader who is considering a Chromecast, let me help you out: BUY IT!
I honestly cannot think of a single gift at $25 that will be as useful and handy as a Chromecast.
The support for it is ballooning, the use-cases continue to grow, and the sheer simplicity is unmatched.
Cast your Android or Chrome OS screen, your Chrome browser tab (from Windows or Mac), or simply start playback of your favorite movie or show from the app you choose. Netflix, Play Movies, Hulu and most major streaming apps are already supported. Even DirecTV Now gets in on the fun!
You can learn about all sorts of fun Chromecast stuff right here.
For the Initiated
If you are a reader who already owns a Chromecast, you know all this. You likely use your Chromecast often and love it.
But, at $25 dollars, it is time to consider an additional dongle if you have any screen that isn’t connected.
Think just for a second. A decent dinner for two will likely cost you more than this. If I didn’t have one on every TV in the house I’d take advantage of this deal.
More Offers
Let’s not forget the additional offers available to new Chromecast owners, as well. You can see them all here, but we’ll run them down real fast.
- HBO NOW for 3 months FREE (cancel anytime)
- 75% off a movie rental
- 90 Days Google Play Music All Access
If you are so inclined, here is the link to Office Depot’s product listing. There’s no indication of how long this will last, so snag it while you can.
I’m thinking about getting another for the office right now!
