Powerful. Plenty of features. Attractive design.
Interface performance needs improvement. Gamepad costs extra

Tegra K1's outstanding performance, Preloaded and selectable sRGB color profile, GameStream and Twitch streaming
Casing bezel susceptible for scratches and cracks, Tablet's imperfect rigidness
Nvidia has managed to create an outstanding Android gaming tablet with the Shield tablet. The performance of the Tegra K1 is doubtlessly impressive, and it is perfectly fit for the future. We also very much liked the additional features, such as GameStrea...
