Abstract: Today we're going to take a quick look at the NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet K1 and discuss why this device is the best tablet that money can buy. When we had a look at the original NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet, it was very apparent that NVIDIA's tablet-making opponents we...
Abstract: Toward the end of last year, NVIDIA introduced what we considered to be the most well-rounded tablet on the market. And for just $300, the SHIELD Tablet was a pretty great deal, too. Imagine if NVIDIA offered a slightly modified version, but for $100 less...

Flexible gaming, GeForce Now, Sharp, vibrant screen, Strong value for money
Very little evolution, Battery life could be better
At just £149, the Nvidia Shield Tablet K1 offers very strong value for money - although of course you'll need to stump up anohter £49.99 for the controller and £19.99 for the Nvidia cover. However, that's still a solid deal and well worth grabbing if you'...

Abstract: For a PC gamer, with a GeForce-powered rig, Nvidia's Shield has almost become a must-have accessory. The ability to bring your gaming into the living room, writ large on your big-screen TV, was always part of the promise of the Shield devices, but neither...
Exceptional power, Great for gaming, PC streaming is excellent
Controller isn't included, Battery life is poor, Not many games push the hardware
Hardened gamers may be disappointed that NVIDIA has taken a step back from the handheld console concept with this tablet device, and not bundling the wireless controller as standard is a mistake. However, it's impossible to deny the incredible power con...

We loved the Nvidia Shield when it first arrived, and the price cut only makes us love it more. For £150 there's very little else out there that's as powerful or as flexible when it comes to gaming. Losing the stylus and power adaptor to significantly low...
