Choosing Between Google TV Streamer and Apple TV 4K

Why I won't be making the jump from Chromecast to Google TV Streamer 🔗

The Google TV Streamer just isn't doing it for me.

The decision to switch from Chromecast to the Google TV Streamer is complicated by the perception that Apple offers better value with its Apple TV 4K. The author finds the Google TV Streamer to be a decent device but feels it lacks compelling reasons to abandon the familiar Apple interface and features. Even though the Google device may improve over time, the close pricing and established benefits of the Apple ecosystem make it hard to justify the transition. The author remains open to future developments from Google that might sway their choice.

What are the main reasons for not switching to the Google TV Streamer?

The author believes Apple TV 4K offers better value, features, and familiarity compared to the new Google device.

Is there a chance the Google TV Streamer could improve over time?

Yes, the author expresses hope that future updates may add features that could make the Google TV Streamer more appealing.

How does pricing impact the decision between the two devices?

The close pricing of $100 for Google TV Streamer and $130 for Apple TV 4K makes it difficult for the author to justify switching, especially given the additional features of the Apple device.
