  • For gaming on the go without a TV
  • It's kind of a joke

  • Gewicht, Verfügbarkeit
  • Schwachstellen Dank des integrierten 7350-mAh-Akkus hält Shield zwar beim Spielen recht lange durch (5 bis 6 Stunden liegen drin) und kommt auf Standby-Zeiten von mehreren Tagen; da das Gerät mit rund 580 Gramm allerdings schlicht zu schwer ist, halten di...

  • Knoppen zijn verschrikkelijk, maar daar zijn oplossingen voor, Door de hdmi poort wordt het scherm gecropt op de tv, dit waars ivm de 1920x1200 resolutie, Komt toch met wat apps die je nooit gebruikt, Prijs, meer hierover later
  • De Nvidia Shield Tablet is een mooie tablet en voor normale gebruikers niet veel meer en is scherp geprijsd. Voor gamers is het al helemaal een mooi dingetje, maar handheld kan het tot maar een bepaald niveau genoemd worden, best case scenario is alles...

  • Snelle hardware, Goede luidsprekers, Bijna stock-Android, Uitbreidbaar opslaggeheugen
  • Knoppen voelen niet fijn aan, Geen wifi-ac, Kleurreproductie kan beter
  • Dat Nvidia weinig ervaring heeft met het maken van consumentenelektronica valt aan de Shield Tablet niet af te zien. De tablet bevat prima hardware en zit stevig in elkaar. Hij is niet zo licht en dun als sommige concurrenten, maar valt desondanks prima ...
