Its plastic chassis feels a little cheap; there aren't many Android games that support the K1 graphics potential; the game controller required to play most games is sold separately
Even if you don't take advantage of its gaming prowess, the Nvidia Shield Tablet is one of the most versatile -- and affordable -- high-performance 8-inch Android slates you can buy....
The original Nvidia Shield was a technological powerhouse, proving the graphical strength of the Tegra 4 processor. The Shield Tablet is another massive step forward, boasting Nvidia's new Tegra K1 chip, which boasts the same kind of power you'd see insid
The Shield Tablet's technological power isn't in doubt, but aside from Trine 2, there's not much out there that really pushes it to its limits at the moment. Most Android games are rather basic visually, although the preinstalled Nvidia Hub does make the
Nvidia's approach may be slightly different this year, but the end result is the largely the same - if you're serious about Android gaming then this really is the only option in town. It offers console-standard graphics - along with a console-quality cont...

Abstract: Nvidia 's second attempt at a tablet comes in the form of the far more potent Shield, which is, rather predictably, designed to be gaming-centric from the ground up. Featuring a Full HD 1900 x 1200 8-inch IPS screen, a cutting edge Tegra K1 processor and ...
Abstract: The drive to an Nvidia-produced gaming tablet Graphics company Nvidia has spent the last 10 years diversifying business away from the core desktop and laptop GeForce gaming brand known to most enthusiasts. Augmented with other processors such as Quadro, T...

I mostly attempted these little tasks as an experiment, just to see how much value for money I can squeeze out of the Nvidia Shield. It's already proven its self to me as a powerful gaming device, able to play games on the go such as GTA: San Andreas, Por...

Since I reviewed the Nvidia Shield a few weeks ago, I've been constantly tinkering and finding new ways of using the device to expand my entertainment. Game Stream is certainly one of the best features I've found so far, but it's not without its own flaws...
