  • Powerful Tegra X1 processor. Supports 4K Netflix. Streaming PC game options expand the available library. Good voice search.
  • Bottom Line, Nvidia's new Shield microconsole is remarkably powerful and supports Netflix 4K, but it's held back by several frustrating Android TV limitations, and its games library still can't compare with a dedicated game console
