Review on NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet by Mateusz Burzyski ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

All is well, liked the product, didn't buy it for nothing.

In my opinion, a good multimedia device. It is pleasant to watch movies on it, and the batteries in this case will last for a long time. Since the release of Heroes 3 HD on tablets, I began to carry it with me, because playing those same heroes on the subway is simply priceless. And the stylus is very relevant here. As an accessory, a cover is sold, but in fact a cover. It costs around 2500r, that is, more than 10% of the cost of the older model. It does not give any particular protection, but as a stand it is quite convenient. At the same time, closing the gl, it leaves incomprehensible stripes (from dust? ) at the bends. In my opinion, very expensive for such a thing, I do not recommend. Gaming capabilities in addition to the actual Android games are represented by the Nvidia Grid and Nvidia GameStream service. In the first case, PC games run on Nvidia servers and are broadcast to the device via the Internet. For correct operation, you need a separately sold gamepad (which is discussed below) and a suitable router. It is better to look at a suitable router on the Nvidia website, for example, he does not like mine. There are a lot of games in the service, while it's free, but someday they will introduce a subscription to it. Streaming games from a PC is possible if it has a graphics accelerator from the Nvidia 600+ series. Some games have gamepad support (Skyrim, for example), others require a mouse and keyboard. At the same time, the resolution of the stream itself is 720p. The gamepad costs about 5 Compatibility with Windows via USB is declared in the same quality as the controller for the X-Box, but, in my case, only the touchpad was found from the entire controller and in general the system began to behave strangely. If you are not a 100% gamer, you absolutely should not buy this gamepad - it will be a waste of money. In general, the device is good and for a reasonable price, but the official accessories for it are not.

Pros
  • 1. Price. The sharp fall of the had practically no effect on it in comparison with other electronics 2. High-quality display. 3. Sound. Good speakers, surprisingly loud after everything I've had before. 4. Expandable memory 5. Goodies from NVIDIA such as streaming games from a PC or cloud services. It is very unlikely that you will actually use it. 6. System ates and a minimum of pre-installed programs 7. Stylus.
Cons
  • 1. Not the most powerful battery. At the same time, Android 5, which is already available as an ate, is incomplete and has a very unpleasant property of eating energy for no reason. 2. The design is definitely not premium - the device is thick and uncomplicated, but it is quite comfortable to use. The dimensions and weight are much nicer than, say, iPads before they became "air". 3. Strange and whimsical dual-band wifi
