Tegra K1, front facing speakers, Great gaming implementation with NVIDIA Hub, Game Streaming, either with NVIDIA Grid or GameStream (if you can do it), Industrial design, Official accessories complete the experience, A great Android tablet outside of just
Battery life is below average, Screen isn't stellar, Stock-like Android doesn't come with too many non-gaming extras
9.0 The NVIDIA Shield Tablet is a wonderful gaming rig worthy of being considered alongside even console and PC gaming communities – but what makes us love it most is that it manages to simultaneously be a damn good Android tablet. This is as close as we ...
Abstract: The follow up to last year's NVIDIA Shield handheld gaming console may have taken a more traditional tablet form factor this time around, but to take full advantage of the gaming prowess of the Shield Tablet, you still need a pretty good controller. Lucki...
Whether you're a gamer or not, there's no denying the NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet's prowess as a powerful Android machine. We've already seen a lot of great tablets this year, but this has quickly shot to the top of my list. Not only does it show off the Tegra K...

Fast, powerful and built for gamers, NVIDIA GameStream still impresses, A solid tablet in its own right
Controller not included, Mediocre camera, Mushy power button, Limited (but expandable) storage space
When Engadget reviewed NVIDIA's original Shield handheld, we called it a "truly strange device," albeit a fun, powerful and completely worthwhile one. The Shield tablet is everything that device was, but less odd. As a tablet, it's far more versatile than...
Nvidia's Shield Tablet isn't just another Android slate. It has the heart of a game console and the soul of an enthusiast PC. To be fair, the silicon heart beating inside this beast can't go toe-to-toe with the chips inside the Xbox One and PlayStation 4...

Abstract: Last year's Nvidia Shield portable was the most powerful Android gaming system on the market at the time. The Nvidia Shield Tablet is the most powerful Android gaming system on the market, but it's also something its predecessor was not — useful.The origi...
If I'm honest, it's hard for me to review tablets. While I academically understand why people like tablets, I've never really found a use for them. They're less comfortable to use in bed than a phone, I usually can't type on a tablet as quickly as I do on...
Game streaming and Grid cloud gaming are great uniquely great fun and cutting edge. Very fast tablet, clean Android OS, nice full HD display, front-facing stereo speakers
Heavier than average, battery life when gaming is short
We love the NVIDIA Shield tablet because it dares to do what most manufacturers won't: take a risk on future computing paradigms. Though the Shield tablet is powerful as Android tablets go, the really interesting story here is game streaming and grid comp...

The NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet -- Find It At Amazon.comOne of NVIDIA's stated goals with the SHIELD tablet was to build the best tablet for mobile gamers. But to do so, they first had to build a good general-purpose tablet. We think NVIDIA has pulled it off. Th...
Blazing fast. Tegra K1 is an extremely powerful processor, and SHIELD Tablet takes full advantage of it. No lag. No slowdown. No stutter. Just pure speed, all the time, Fantastic form factor. I may be a little biased here, but eight inches is my favorite
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
To me, SHIELD Tablet is the culmination of what NVIDIA has learned from its short time making Android devices. The company has clearly gained quite a bit of knowledge from SHIELD Portable and Tegra Note 7, and this is the result. This tablet takes all of ...
