Review on NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet by Mateusz Praga ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Average product, you can do better.

In wifi mode, the router will only function with one device; once another device is attached to it, it will stop working normally and neither of the two devices will be able to access the internet. As I've used the tablet for longer and longer periods of time (say, four hours or more), I've noticed that it "goes asleep" and stops reacting to my touch. Although a definitive technique for resuscitation has not been disclosed, it is feasible to reboot by repeatedly "poking" into the power button while holding it down for various amounts of time. After a series of haphazard attempts, it powers up, as if I had flipped its switch from off to on. The sensor's accuracy also leaves a lot to be desired. Even when the native shell is active, performance can suffer at times. Very dissatisfied. A company with this name should produce much better quality products. Certain Chinese tablets can be had for half the price, and they're often considerably more reliable. I'd like to add that switching from "optimal" power saving mode to "high performance" fixed the issues (except for wifi), but significantly shortened the device's operational lifespan. I'm going to go ahead and bump up the number from 2 to 3.

Pros
  • I picked it up since I heard it had some serious stuffing.
Cons
  • despite the fact that some bugs were eliminated after Android 5 was eaten, others appeared and were not eradicated by the subsequent meal.
