y this matters: Unlike other Android tablets that focus on their productivity capabilities, the Nvidia Shield is aimed right at gamers. It’s a showcase for Nvidia’s Tegra K1 chip includes other impressive hardware specs. This is the fastest Android tablet you can buy, the increased storage connectivity addresses a shortcoming of the earlier 16GB, -Fi only model. It’s certainly aimed at gamers, with a 1920×1200 resolution that performed well in our gaming sessions, though it’s not necessarily optimal for productivity tasks. The capacitive stylus was also rather hit–miss—it’s better than most, but not nearly up to par with active, pressure-sensitive styluses as you find on a Microsoft Surface, for example.
Other goodies
The Shield ships with Trine 2: Complete Story, Twitch, productivity apps like Evernote. The Nvidia site sells several different accessories, including the wireless controller for $60. If you plan on streaming games from your to the tablet, which is possible if you have an Nvidia graphics card released in the last couple years, this may be an essential add-on.
