It\u2019s inexpensive, unobtrusive, and packs Roku\u2019s ginormous collection of streaming channels.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s not perfect. Compared to rivals like Amazon\u2019s Fire TV Stick and the Apple TV, the Roku Stick is preposterously slow.<\/p>\n<p>But Roku has introduced a new Streaming Stick for all of your Netflix and chilling needs. And it\u2019s not only light years faster than its predecessor thanks to a quad-core processor, it\u2019s also slimmer and features an updated smartphone app, too. Oh, and it\u2019s still just $50.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, the best streaming device just got better.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The stick<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The new Roku Streaming Stick isn\u2019t much to look at, because, well, there just isn\u2019t much to it. The Stick is so small and slim it could easily pass as an abnormally large USB stick.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s all the more impressive when you consider that the original Roku Stick wasn\u2019t very large to begin with. More than anything, the new Stick is far more streamlined. It measures just 3.3 x 0.8 x 0.5 inches. There are lipstick cases bigger than this thing. It\u2019s actually kind of mind blowing that so much technology is packed into such a tiny gadget.<\/p>\n<p>The old Stick\u2019s cartoonish, bubbly purple design has been replaced with a more aggressive jet-black body that says, \u201cI came here to kick ass and stream \u2018Dora the Explorer\u2019 for your two year old. And I\u2019m almost out of episodes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s still a secondary USB cable you need to plug into the back of the Roku Stick to give it the power it needs to work. Depending on the kind of TV you have, you can plug the line into your TV\u2019s available USB slot or just plug it into a wall outlet using the included power adapter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The remote<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The original Roku Stick\u2019s remote was \u2026 well, chunky. But like the Stick itself, the remote\u2019s size wasn\u2019t much of an issue. It\u2019s not as if you carried the remote around with you all day like your smartphone. At least I hope you didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>This time around Roku has sliced off a good amount of the remote\u2019s bulk, making the new one more comfortable to hold. It\u2019s also lighter, which is important when you lose it in your bed and inevitably send it sailing across the room as you frantically flip the blankets over while trying to find it.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also good to see that Roku has done away with the sad Blockbuster button on the remote and replaced it with a Google Play button. God knows the only people that ever pressed that button only did so by accident while trying to reach for the remote in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source:\u00a0yahoo.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roku\u2019s first Streaming Stick has been the best streaming device around for some time.
