Lenovo To Launch It's Chromcast Killer

​

Lenovo will launch its own media sharing device in August. But the Lenovo Cast differs from Google's device, and not just because it looks like a puck instead of a stick. Plug it into the HDMI port of your TV or monitor ( supports HDMI 1.3) and sync up with your WiFi network, like similar products. It now taps into your DNLA or Miracast-enabled smartphone, tablet or laptop, to output up to 1080P video to your big screen. That's unlike the Chromecast, which uses its proprietary Chrome browser environment.

The Lenovocast will retail at $49. That's $14. more than Chromecast but offers a more robust experience.

It's about time that something actually took advantage of existing technology to bring screen casting with total compatibility to existing devices. Yay Lenovo!
