Substantive-feeling hardware, Long battery life, Lovely screen, Plenty of potential
Android ecosystem still feels lacking for games, PC game streaming can be balky, doesn't work with AMD or non-Kepler Nvidia graphics, Difficult to operate touch screen like a conventional phone or tablet
An impressive first-gen handheld gaming device, the Shield is more potential than payoff for now, held back by too few Android games and PC-game streaming that works only with late-model hardware. Even so, PC gamers with a recent Nvidia video card sh...
Excellent game controller, extremely fast Tegra 4, long battery life, PC Streaming of games
Heavy, 5" display feels cramped if you're used to tablet gaming, PC Streaming requirements are stiff. Ergonomics suited for gaming but not great for other tasks like reading ebooks
The NVIDIA Shield is one of the most unusual and intriguing mobile devices to cross our path. There's really nothing quite like it and it has serious geek gamer appeal. At $299 it's significantly cheaper than the iPad with Retina Display and top tier ...
