The Nvidia Shield Tablet boasts high-end specs and incomparable gaming features. It’s a rare thing to find an Android tablet this powerful, especially one that’s just 8 inches big. Nvidia also priced the Shield Tablet at just $300, $100 less than...

Excellent screen ; Tegra-optimised games look amazing ; Great build quality ; Powerful processor

Need to buy controller to get the full experience ; Screen could be brighter

Unlike rival tablets, the Shield Tablet isn't equipped with Dolby technology or any other audio enhancements that Nvidia has mentioned anyway. However, it does have a dual bass reflex port to help reduce distortion at high levels.

Fast, powerful and built for gamers ; NVIDIA GameStream still impresses ; A solid tablet in its own right

Controller not included ; Mediocre camera ; Mushy power button ; Limited (but expandable) storage space

When Engadget reviewed NVIDIA's original Shield handheld, we called it a "truly strange device," albeit a fun, powerful and completely worthwhile one. The Shield tablet is everything that device was, but less odd. As a tablet, it's far more versatile...

Understated design ; Incredible value ; Can stream PC games ; Runs Android 7.0 Nougat

Doesn't include charger ; Accessories can become costly ; It's a fingerprint-magnet

The right size ; Strong ecosystem additions ; Good price

Relatively affordable. Powerful gaming performance. GeForce Now cloud gaming brings PC titles to the tablet. Solid cameras. Long battery life.

Limited onboard storage.

Conclusions The Nvidia Shield Tablet K1 is a great midrange slate, and not just for gaming. It delivers powerful performance, a light and unassuming body, and very good battery liffe. Add to that the fact that it can play more games than any other...

Decently priced ; Great specs ; Possible alternative to Steam Machines

Not as portable as the first ; Contoller is beefy

The Nvidia Shield tablet isn't as portable as its predecessor, but it's the tablet the gamers deserve.

Powerful. Strong gaming features. Sharp 1080p display. LTE connectivity. Affordable.

Interface performance needs improvement. Gamepad costs extra.

Competition and Conclusions With Qualcomm dominating the smartphone chipset market in the U.S., Nvidia is doubling down on its core competency: gaming. Even so, with a $399 price tag and LTE connectivity, the Shield Tablet has exceptional appeal for...

Powerful. Plenty of features. Attractive design.

Interface performance needs improvement. Gamepad costs extra.

For sheer processing power, the Nvidia Shield Tablet blows other tablets out of the water, and it's loaded with useful features and connectivity options. It's genuinely impressive Nvidia could fit so much power and flexibility into an 8-inch tablet....
