  • 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

  • Goede prestaties, Mooi scherm, Gemakkelijk games streamen, Degelijke controller
  • Vrij log, Werkt niet met AMDkaarten
  • Ook al scoort Nvidia geen sympathiepunten voor de hoogstwaarschijnlijk onnodige beperkingen van de Shield Tablet, de voordelen van het apparaat wegen uiteindelijk zwaarder. Het streamen van games vanaf een stevige game-pc naar tablet of televisie werkt ui...

  • Supersnel, Geweldige speakers, Games streamen, Opnamefuncties
  • Batterijduur, Beeldkwaliteit, Dik en zwaar
  • Als je een echte pc-gamer bent en je spellen wilt spelen op een Android tablet, dan zou de Shield Tablet echt bovenaan je verlanglijstje moeten staan. Hij is goed genoeg om alle reguliere tablet-achtige dingen te doen, zoals e-mail, browsen en boeken lez...

  • Abstract:  Samotný Shield Tablet budí respekt, jednoduchý a účelný design společně s obrovským výkonem dává tušit, že tady se budou dít velké věci. Pokud k němu dokoupíte bezdrátový ovladač, můžete zrušit všechny úkoly z kalendáře, na hodně dlouhou dobu totiž budete...

  • Hraním běžných her, které stáhnete z Shield Hubu nebo Google Play však možnosti zdaleka nekončí. Čerstvou novinkou, kterou Nvidia v Evropě spustila teprve minulý týden je Grid. Jedná se o hraní her, které běží kdesi na vzdáleném serveru v Dublinu. Do tabl...
