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

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 ...
If you're willing to go all-in with some extra accessory purchases, you can have one of the most flexible and capable Android tablets out there todayNVIDIA has won over many consumers' hearts and minds in the desktop computer space with its high-performan...
I think it speaks volumes that the SHIELD Tablet is the first device I have reviewed where I didn't think anything belonged in a “Not-so-Good” section. During my time with the unit, I didn't come across a single gripe or pain point, which seems so rare...
Abstract: The Shield Tablet is basically a portable gaming console crammed into an 8" slate. It has a Kepler-infused Tegra K1 processor, a high-res IPS panel, a proper gamepad, and even a stylus. The system can stream games from a home PC or a remote server, too, a...
