  • And prone to crashing
  • For gaming on the go without a TV
  • It's kind of a joke
  • Limited storage. 16GB isn't enough for a gaming tablet
  • And those who opt for the 32GB model have to also pay for LTE connectivity in the hardware
  • Making the price a bit higher than a 32GB WiFi only model could've been. NVIDIA has done a good job of maki

  • По своим возможностям SHIELD, без всяких оговорок, — уникальное устройство среди портативных консолей. По производительности SoC Tegra 4 на частоте 1,9 ГГц в 3D-приложениях даже спустя год после выхода вполне сравнима с лучшим кремнием Apple и Qualcomm....

  • Производительность, Дисплей, Качество сборки
  • Отсутствие геймпада в комплекте, Высокая цена в Украине
  • Если портативная консоль NVIDIA Shield была скорее любопытным концептом, то одноименный планшет – это уже вполне уверенная заявка на создание игрового Android-планшета. Отличная производительность, оптимизация ряда игр под платформу Kepler K1, возможность...

  • Отличная производительность, Очень хорошая эргономика, Качественная сборка, Удобное управление в большинстве игр, Качественный звук
  • Экран мог бы быть побольше, Значительные габариты и масса, Высокая стоимость
  • В выводах проще всего было бы ограничиться классической фразой «сомнительная практическая ценность», однако в случае с NVIDIA Shield все не так однозначно. Правда, и однозначным кандидатом на покупку эту консоль назвать, к сожалению, не получается – у нее...
