Powerful processor, Android 5.0 Lollipop, Lots of ports for connectivity, Sharp front-facing camera, Great for gamers
Chunky and slightly heavy, Battery doesn't last long while gaming, Limited storage options
The Nvidia Shield Tablet boasts high-end specs and incomparable gaming features. It's a rare thing to find an Android tablet this powerful, especially one that's just 8 inches big. Nvidia also priced the Shield Tablet at just $300, $100 less than Google'...

Overall, the Shield Tablet has seen some incredible upgrades from Android 5.0 Lollipop, as well as a few tweaks and adjustments from Nvidia in their update, which brings the Shield up to spec 2.0.We've got a much more fluid UI that brings a more practical...
Exceptional power, Great for gaming, PC streaming is excellent
Controller isn't included, Battery life is poor, Not many games push the hardware
Hardened gamers may be disappointed that NVIDIA has taken a step back from the handheld console concept with this tablet device, and not bundling the wireless controller as standard is a mistake. However, it's impossible to deny the incredible power con...
Incredible power, amazing gaming controls, PC streaming
Limited developer support at launch
The Shield is unquestionably a massive step forward for portable gaming. The Tegra 4 chipset offers incredible power and allows the console to run the latest Android games without breaking a sweat, but the lack of supported titles at launch is a bit of ...
Overall responsiveness, Complete control over processing power use per app, Screen quality/good contrast/nearly perfect colours, A dream gaming machine/GameStream pretty much faultless, Excellent front camera (photo/video), Excellent apps for use with sty
Poor battery life when gaming, Poor finish on the frame, Accessories (the controller is a necessity for proper gaming) must be bought separately, Poor main camera
A formidable gaming machine, the Shield Tablet also has an excellent display and everything else a good Android tablet should. Unfortunately, though, you'll need to buy all the accessories to get the most from this device. The only real problem with this ...
Superbly powerful in all tasks - not just for gaming, doubles as a capable home console through HDMI hook-up, can stream PC games to play on the tablet, some games optimised for the Shield alone, soon to get Android 5.0 Lollipop
Perhaps a little heavy although understandably, to get the most from it you'll need to invest in the game controller and cover too, screen a little off-white
As we are gamers at heart, the Nvidia Shield Tablet's primary focus appeals to us greatly. It has been designed by gamers for gamers, offering multiple ways to enjoy interactive entertainment in all its forms. Like all Android tablets, it is very ca...
Awe, inspiringly powerful, Easy PC streaming, Solid build
This isn't a portable gaming unit designed for the morning commute. If you're looking for that, you're better of going for the original Nvidia Shield console with its all-in-one gaming approach. What the Nvidia Shield Tablet is, however, is one of the bes...
A gamers dream, Excellent value for money, Superb specification, Lag free Game Streaming, DirectStylus is a great addition
'Optional' controller is an essential, Rather chunky, Slight blacklight bleed from one edge, Average battery life
The Nvidia Shield Tablet is available for £239.99 and is a very impressive 8" tablet indeed. Putting gaming aside for one moment, this 8" tablet with a very streamlined Android 4.4.2 is over £80 cheaper than the Samsung Galaxy Tab S or the iPad Mini but w...
Looking into the crystal ball, Nvidia saw a tablet that excelled at media consumption, productivity and mobile gaming, launching a quest that spawned the Tegra Note 7, a decent general-purpose tablet, and the Shield Portable, a potent handheld gaming devi...
