Abstract: Lisa Gade reviews the NVIDIA Shield Tablet, an 8” Android gaming tablet running on the 2.2GHz NVIDIA K1 quad core CPU with 192 core Kepler graphics. This powerhouse tablet is the fastest on the US market as of summer 2014, and it has a 1920 x 1200 display...
When NVIDIA SHIELD Portable was released, there was no shortage of dissenting voices that claimed it would never be successful or widely accepted. While success is a hard thing to measure, the SHIELD did become the de facto standard for any serious Androi...
Abstract: Depending on who you speak to, NVIDIA’s original SHIELD is either an amazing success or a device that failed to find its niche. Regardless of what pundits may say, SHIELD was conceived as a simple technology showcase that combined seemingly disparate elem...
