A must for the road warrior
This wonderful accessory adds a second battery to the laptop(s) it fits, allowing for a full eight hours of continuous use when both batteries are fresh. Since it is external, it also goes on and comes off easily quickly. It adds less than one pound of weight to your laptop, but that should be a consideration, as well as the thickness--when attached, my Ultrabook is almost 50% fatter, so there is that to consider as well, but again, it is easily removable when not needed. My experience is that only laptops meant for schools or businesses, not the typical consumer notebook, have the capability of a second battery, and this is the only design I have seen that is both external (Dell secondary batteries are internal) and take up so little space.

Inexpensive way to extend the life of your laser printer.
Just guessing on question #3, but everything else is for sure. . Made an instant difference in printer output. Much less expensive than the name brand (Brother) component. The only drawback I can see is that it means I have no good reason to update my printer to a AIO. As easy to install as change a light bulb.

Spend more money
I'm in a hurry, so I'll make this brief.
First of all, the instructions for the Chromecast Audio are on the same site as that for the Video unit. This means that you will see directions that apply to both, or only one. Unfortunately, it is frequently unclear which is which, causing confusion.
Second, I was only finally able to set up the unit when I realized that I needed both Bluetooth and WiFi to be active and enabled on my PC in order to properly set it up. This generally means that you cannot do it on a desktop, which is usually missing both of these. Google assumes that when it refers to a "computer," you are using a laptop, and a modern one at that (which generally has both). Save yourself a lot of trouble and just follow the procedure for setting it up using a smartphone. That works much, much better. It is also the easiest and best method for casting and controlling what it is you are listening to you.
Third, only after you have purchased it will you find that you need the Chrome browser installed to use this. This is generally not a problem for most people, but if you are like me and are pushing your PC to the limit most of the time, you want to keep the number of programs you are running at one time to a minimum. Also, the quality will not be as good if you are, say, casting the audio from YouTube directly, instead of using the app that inherently supports casting. This includes the sync problems many people mention.
Finally, no where did I see that every time you use the Chromecast, you have to specifically select it, rather than it defaulting to the installed unit. Does Chromecast assume that you have an "invisible" unit somewhere, and might want to use that?
Finally, if you want the best performance and features, as well as flexibility and ease of use, and want a Chromecast to do it with, I recommend the Video unit, although it costs more money. It is only after installing the Audio unit and reading all the instructions carefully (and repeatedly) that I found the Video unit would have been a better choice. I may still get it at some future point in time.
