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

4K video at 60fps via HDMI 2.0, BBC iPlayer on an Android TV box, The best cloud gaming platform around, Tegra X1 processor ensures unparalleled performance, Google Cast abilities, Voice commands and search, Game Controller included
No remote control in the box, Android TV is still lacking in app support for many big name services, Gamer-friendly looks are an acquired taste
Number of Android TV-supported apps aside, the Nvidia Shield Android TV is the best media streamer out there bar none. There are devices that profess to offer more content and channels, such as those by Roku, but when it comes down to it there are only a...

Powerful processor, Android 5.0 Lollipop, Lots of ports for connectivity, Sharp front-facing camera, Great for gamers
Chunky and slightly heavy, Battery doesn't last long while gaming, Limited storage options
The Nvidia Shield Tablet boasts high-end specs and incomparable gaming features. It's a rare thing to find an Android tablet this powerful, especially one that's just 8 inches big. Nvidia also priced the Shield Tablet at just $300, $100 less than Google'...

Overall, the Shield Tablet has seen some incredible upgrades from Android 5.0 Lollipop, as well as a few tweaks and adjustments from Nvidia in their update, which brings the Shield up to spec 2.0.We've got a much more fluid UI that brings a more practical...
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...
Incredible power, amazing gaming controls, PC streaming
Limited developer support at launch
The Shield is unquestionably a massive step forward for portable gaming. The Tegra 4 chipset offers incredible power and allows the console to run the latest Android games without breaking a sweat, but the lack of supported titles at launch is a bit of ...
Overall responsiveness, Complete control over processing power use per app, Screen quality/good contrast/nearly perfect colours, A dream gaming machine/GameStream pretty much faultless, Excellent front camera (photo/video), Excellent apps for use with sty
Poor battery life when gaming, Poor finish on the frame, Accessories (the controller is a necessity for proper gaming) must be bought separately, Poor main camera
A formidable gaming machine, the Shield Tablet also has an excellent display and everything else a good Android tablet should. Unfortunately, though, you'll need to buy all the accessories to get the most from this device. The only real problem with this ...
Superbly powerful in all tasks - not just for gaming, doubles as a capable home console through HDMI hook-up, can stream PC games to play on the tablet, some games optimised for the Shield alone, soon to get Android 5.0 Lollipop
Perhaps a little heavy although understandably, to get the most from it you'll need to invest in the game controller and cover too, screen a little off-white
As we are gamers at heart, the Nvidia Shield Tablet's primary focus appeals to us greatly. It has been designed by gamers for gamers, offering multiple ways to enjoy interactive entertainment in all its forms. Like all Android tablets, it is very ca...
