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
But six and a half hours of video is weak. Screen could be better but considering the battery life it's probably for the best. The bezel could definitely be smaller though
Abstract: The drive to an Nvidia-produced gaming tablet Graphics company Nvidia has spent the last 10 years diversifying business away from the core desktop and laptop GeForce gaming brand known to most enthusiasts. Augmented with other processors such as Quadro, T...

I mostly attempted these little tasks as an experiment, just to see how much value for money I can squeeze out of the Nvidia Shield. It's already proven its self to me as a powerful gaming device, able to play games on the go such as GTA: San Andreas, Por...

The capabilities of the Nvidia Shield never cease to amaze me, of course the same can be said about a few high-powered Android devices, as much of the credit here goes to the underlying hardware in the Nvidia Tegra 4 graphics processor. I've already revie...

Since I reviewed the Nvidia Shield a few weeks ago, I've been constantly tinkering and finding new ways of using the device to expand my entertainment. Game Stream is certainly one of the best features I've found so far, but it's not without its own flaws...

“I think Nvidia are facing an uphill battle in terms of marketing, there is a fiercely competitive and much more established portable console market from the likes of Sony and Nintendo, while many of us also already have tablets, smartphones and other de...
First thing first - the Nvidia Shield is insanely powerful. Nvidia's Tegra 4 chipset is the absolute cutting edge in terms of mobile tech; it blows away pretty much every other Android hardware on the market when it comes to pure, unadulterated processing clout. From a gaming perspective this means that the Shield runs every Android game with ease; even taxing 3D titles like Real Racing 3 don't c
Although the Nvidia Shield is comfortable to hold and a pleasure to use, it's massive and very, very heavy. Fitting all those gaming controls into the casing has resulted in a console which makes the PS Vita look positively tiny in comparison - this isn't a handheld that you'll effortlessly be slipping into your pocket before leaving the house.Another issue relates to the console's reliance on An
The Nvidia Shield isn't going to be for everyone - the price tag alone will be enough to put off many potential buyers, and the lack of truly killer games on the Google Play market rather limits its appeal with hardcore players. However, if you value r...

Comfortable gamepad, Excellent build quality, Very fast for an Android device
Expensive for a gaming handheld, Still limited by the Android library, PC game streaming only for local network
It's really tough to judge the Nvidia Shield. Standing on its own merits, it's the most well-constructed, comfortable, powerful, and technically impressive Android gadget I've ever used. The gamepad feels great, the screen looks sharp and vivid, and the ...
The Shield is an impressive bit of hardware but it's niche - and it doesn't really replace any of the devices you already likely own.Tags:Games,Gadgets,AndroidBest prices todayRetailer Price Delivery Price comparision from, and manufacturersShare this a...
The first thing to remember about Nvidia's Shield is that it's a toy. Yes, it's driven by an advanced SoC, comes with some very innovative technology, and is really well-built. But at the end of the day, Shield is a handheld gaming console. We love the bl...

Abstract: From the amount of green-coloured lights on Nvidia's stand at the 2013 E3 gaming expo you'd be forgiven for thinking that the final build of its Shield portable games console is also green. But, fortunately, it's not. Previously we've only seen the clam-s...
