  • 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

  • Guter Preis, Hardware verspricht Leistung satt, Unterstützt bis zu vier Shield Controller, PC Spiele lassen sich auf das Tablet streamen
  • Kein WLAN ac, Controller nur als Zubehör tauglich
  • Das erste Lehrjahr mit dem Shield Portable ist vorbei, jetzt will Nvidia mit dem Shield Tablet ein größeres Publikum erreichen. Dabei birgt die zweite Generation des Nvidia Shield kaum Überraschungen, denn der Großteil der Spezifikationen war schon vorher...

  • Leistung, Sound, Stylus, Frühe, häufige SystemUpdates
  • Gewicht Nur mit teurem Zubehör wirklich spielbar
  • Nvidia ist mit dem Shield Tablet ein großartiger Wurf gelungen. Der Hersteller nennt es selbst “Das ultimative Gaming-Tablet”, und wenn man sich auf dem Markt umsieht, dann liefert niemand sonst ein so komplettes Paket. Letzteres relativiert sich leider d...

  • Vollwertiges Android "Tablet", Nvidia GameStream (moderne Nvidia Grafikkarte benötigt), GRID bereits in der Beta Phase vielversprechend
  • Spiele und Apps im Querformat nur mühsam nutzbar, Hochwertige Android Spiele sind noch rar, Controller Support der Spiele nicht perfekt, Farbtreue des Displays nicht optimal, Display könnte größer sein
  • Nvidias Shield ist derzeit die beste Android-Spiele-Konsole auf dem Markt. Die Hardware weist eigentlich nur kleine Schwachstellen auf: Der Bildschirm könnte etwas größer und vor allem die Farbgenauigkeit könnte besser sein. Auch das Gamepad ist nicht pe...

  • Gewicht, Verfügbarkeit
  • Schwachstellen Dank des integrierten 7350-mAh-Akkus hält Shield zwar beim Spielen recht lange durch (5 bis 6 Stunden liegen drin) und kommt auf Standby-Zeiten von mehreren Tagen; da das Gerät mit rund 580 Gramm allerdings schlicht zu schwer ist, halten di...
