Performance will depend on quality of internet connection
It's more expensive than any other streamer and doesn't include a remote
Aside from the game controller. Native app selection is still weaker than that of Roku

Its plastic chassis feels a little cheap
There aren't many Android games that support the K1 graphics potential

As someone who has invested fairly heavily into android based gaming over the past two years (bot in time and with game purchases) the Nvidia Shield was especially interesting to me. Now that we have covered most of the details on the device itself, I re...
The SHIELD is a device in a category of its own and pitting it against other Android devices readily available is just not fair. Have any of you come across a portable gaming platform of this size that's equipped with active cooling? Not me anyway! I did ...

Abstract: The Nvidia Shield is meant to herald a new era in handheld gaming as well as Android gaming in general. Designed to feel like a console controller with a flip down screen. Nvidia has created something interesting here with its 5-inch 720p retina like touc...

Offers a fully immersive gaming experience on the go, Has all of the buttons a gamer could want, Streams PC gamesif you have the right NVIDIA GPU, Excellent battery life, sound quality, and display
Heavy, not as portable as other dedicated gaming devices, Regular Android games are playable only in portrait mode, Somewhat expensive considering its limitationsyou still need a phone to stay in touch, PC streaming requires very particular hardware
While a solid portable gaming device, the Nvidia Shield will only appeal to users with a very specific set of needs, as it has some serious limitations....
