  • Android still lacks killer games
  • No remote control in the box
  • Android TV is still lacking in app support for many big name services
  • Gamer-friendly looks are an acquired taste
  • Less portability than the first version
  • Bulky gamepad
  • Its unique approach may put off many consumers who want something more
  • Expensive for what it is
  • Small number of games
  • Awkward touchscreen controls
  • Although the Nvidia Shield is comfortable to hold and a pleasure to use
  • It's massive and very
  • Very heavy. Fitting all those gaming controls into the casing has resulted in a console which makes the PS Vita look positively tiny in comparison - this isn't a handheld that you'll effortlessly be slipping into your pocket before leaving the house.Another issue relates to the console's reliance on An
  • Controller isn't included
  • Battery life is poor
  • Not many games push the hardware
  • The Shield Tablet's technological power isn't in doubt
  • But aside from Trine 2
  • There's not much out there that really pushes it to its limits at the moment. Most Android games are rather basic visually
  • Although the preinstalled Nvidia Hub does make the
  • Its plastic chassis feels a little cheap
  • There aren't many Android games that support the K1 graphics potential

  • Lourde, Contraintes techniques, Prix et disponibilité
  • Cette console est une excellente console Android, surement pas une bonne tablette, comme Nvidia souhaite nous la présenter. Elle dispose de caractéristiques haut de gamme tant sur son architecture, que son écran, son autonomie et ses hauts parleurs. Les s...

  • Malgré quelques dysfonctionnements sur certaines de ses fonctionnalités, il ne faut pas oublier que la Nvidia Shield est le premier vrai produit et la première vraie console de jeux hybride sous Android directement commercialisée par Nvidia sur les vastes...

  • Leistung satt, Starke Akku, Schicke Hülle und Verarbeitung, Fairer Preis, Tolle Streaming Möglichkeiten
  • Viel Potenzial ungenutzt, Entspiegelung des Displays
  • Das NVIDIA Shield Tabelt ist eine Wucht! Das kleine Wunder-Tablet lässt seine Konkurrenz fast in allen Belangen alt aussehen, dies beginnt bei Materialwahl, deren Verarbeitung bis hin zu der Verwendung eines Grafikchips der eigentlich in richtigen Rechn...
