The Nvidia Shield Tablet packs a lot of graphics punch with a new Tegra K1 processor. It has expandable microSD card storage
Runs Android 5.0 Lollipop and offers full access to Google Play app store. Its add-on wireless game controller enables connected
First thing first - the Nvidia Shield is insanely powerful. Nvidia's Tegra 4 chipset is the absolute cutting edge in terms of mobile tech; it blows away pretty much every other Android hardware on the market when it comes to pure, unadulterated processing clout. From a gaming perspective this means that the Shield runs every Android game with ease; even taxing 3D titles like Real Racing 3 don't c
Although the Nvidia Shield is comfortable to hold and a pleasure to use, it's massive and very, very heavy. Fitting all those gaming controls into the casing has resulted in a console which makes the PS Vita look positively tiny in comparison - this isn't a handheld that you'll effortlessly be slipping into your pocket before leaving the house.Another issue relates to the console's reliance on An
The Nvidia Shield isn't going to be for everyone - the price tag alone will be enough to put off many potential buyers, and the lack of truly killer games on the Google Play market rather limits its appeal with hardcore players. However, if you value r...

Comfortable gamepad, Excellent build quality, Very fast for an Android device
Expensive for a gaming handheld, Still limited by the Android library, PC game streaming only for local network
It's really tough to judge the Nvidia Shield. Standing on its own merits, it's the most well-constructed, comfortable, powerful, and technically impressive Android gadget I've ever used. The gamepad feels great, the screen looks sharp and vivid, and the ...
The Shield is an impressive bit of hardware but it's niche - and it doesn't really replace any of the devices you already likely own.Tags:Games,Gadgets,AndroidBest prices todayRetailer Price Delivery Price comparision from, and manufacturersShare this a...
The first thing to remember about Nvidia's Shield is that it's a toy. Yes, it's driven by an advanced SoC, comes with some very innovative technology, and is really well-built. But at the end of the day, Shield is a handheld gaming console. We love the bl...

Abstract: From the amount of green-coloured lights on Nvidia's stand at the 2013 E3 gaming expo you'd be forgiven for thinking that the final build of its Shield portable games console is also green. But, fortunately, it's not. Previously we've only seen the clam-s...
Abstract: Nvidia has announced that its portable Android games console, formerly known as Project Shield, will be released in the US in June. It will cost $350 (£230), so at the higher end of the price scale for gamers, but as Pocket-lint revealed during our hands-...
Abstract: Our first stop at this year's CES was Nvidia's suite in the Palms, where company representatives showed off pre-production versions of its Shield handheld. Chris Angelini weighs in with some of the specifics, plus his impressions of Nvidia's effort. We...

Xbox 360-style controller, Great 720p screen, PC game streamin
Expensive for what it is, Small number of games, Awkward touchscreen controls

Stock Android! Stock Android is great. The fact that the Nvidia Hub is just an app where you can spend time but then totally escape is so much better than even the best skin. Also the ports and extras! A Mini HDMI out and MicroSD expansion slot are as wel
Battery life is not great. 3-ish hours of K1 gaming isn't bad, but six and a half hours of video is weak. Screen could be better but considering the battery life it's probably for the best. The bezel could definitely be smaller though, The Shield tab gets
Do you care about games? Like at all? Do you think you might in the future? Then yes. Yes! The Shield tab is not quite the best all-around tablet tablet out there (mainly because of battery life reasons, and also because its a little hefty) but its stil...

We'll have an in-depth review as soon as Nvidia can get a unit in our hands. Our first impression: The Shield tablet has the potential to supplant the Google Nexus 7 as the tablet Android aficionados prefer....
