Indeed. At $99 [1], equipped with 802.11ac [2], a far more powerful processor that is capable of playing 4K video [3], you could ignore Google TV in its entirety and probably justify your purchase just to use it as a Chromecast Deluxe. [1]: Reported by TechCrunch. Regular Chromecast is $35. [2]: Possibly with 5GHz band? Regular Chromecast is 2.4GHz 802.11n only. [3]: http://blog.laptopmag.com/intel-bay-trail-tablets-benchmarks; http://blog.laptopmag.com/intel-bay-trail-tablets-benchmarks... regular Chromecast maxes out at 1080p. EDIT: Aww, its specs say that it only outputs in 1080p.
