Well Tim, it's $200 as your aware. Have practically the same specs as the $300 nvdia tablet as of last year. If they just have to drop charger and stylus, it's worth it. If people want that, they can buy the official one. They can also buy the controller, stylus, and by the time it's all said and done, they have you purchase all Their accessories. Would you have bought them without it included. Some people would
+hot2go2 I own one but any Apple A9 device is going to pummel this. This thing kicks the ass of my iPad Mini 3, but mt 6s kills it. But nobody beats this price point.
+Tak Wolf in terms of graphics performance? no way an A9 device beats a Kepler GPU with 192 cores. In fact the benchmarks put the shield at about twice the power of an iphone 6s.
The good display is easy...get a high pixel per inch count but the speakers is another matter. Consider that there are some fantastic rechargeable external speakers out there that sound better than any phone or tablet I have ever heard. Ignore the tablet speakers and go for a "hockey puck" sized speaker. I love my rechargeable JVC speaker and use it all the time. Good luck!
Maybe for the screen but the speakers on most mobile devices are abismal. Also, some Asus products for a time would not accept Netflix service and I am unsure why. It was silly and irritating and is now water under the bridge...I think.
I was an earlier adopter and bought the original...The first one received had the cracking chassis. The one that I have now is plagued with sporadic lag even when I am not gaming. Spending 300+ dollars for this type of performance left a bad taste in my mouth. To top it off, I now have to wait for the 6.0 update with no firm release date.
I still have no any idea about this "update" for the shield product line. When the specs remains the same and the tegra x1 has been announced for such a long time.
Bought it as a present for my son, I pre installed and tested it with Lollipop.. it was awesome.. then I got the Marshmallow update just before I giftwrapped it... so I updated it and then all hell broke loose.... battery drain, screen does not turn off (never sleeps), a couple of menu items (from Nvidia settings) just bugs out and breaks.. lots of apps don't work any more (not even Nvidias own Faceworks)... and I own a Nexus 7 2013 and Marshmallow on this device is a dream so I don't blame google... something went very wrong with this Marshmallow update for a lot of users... just check the geforce Nvidia tablet forums...
Have it for over a year now. Very good tablet and I use it daily at home! Its performance blows the latest Samsung tablet away. Drop it numerous times and even submerge it in bath briefly and still work. It even has pressure sensitive capasive stylus!?! Yes! it uses its extra core for the magical capasive stylus. The only downside is its battery life. it's a beast so this is expected. Get it!
Have you had some battery drain problems? Lots of users found out that with android 6 there is a core forced at 100% even in standby. Thanks for the review!
Hey Danny, outstanding video, I looked through like 4 video reviews of Shield, and yours by far explained everything I cared about. Thank you for being so thorough. ("NVIDIA basically keeps stock android with a few added features, which is why it updates..." was all I needed to hear to be sold on this, again thank you very much.)
This thing kills the Nexus! The only downside I see is the 16:9 and only because most of the new Android tablets are copying Apple's screen ratios so apps might not be optimized for the 16:9. Shame too, the 16:9 is my favorite form factor.
+NOSfusion the K tablet is 16:10, with a 1200*1920 resolution. Not 16:9 (small difference tho) That's why there are small black borders on the screen in the video when he's gaming (in 16:9)
Man.. I'm trying to decide on this, or the Sony Xperia z4.. which is like 600 bucks! I really want to game, but I also want to view photos in high detail! Someone told me the Shield tablet not really good for viewing photos... etc.
hi can you please answer couple of question for me. 1. what happens when you are watching movie or playing games and if your tablet is charging at same time, does it hold the charge at same % or goes up or down? 2. when I'm charging it with quick charge 3.0 charger, the tablet touch becomes less sensitive and I have to click harder on screen? please check and let me know if got have above issues
Is it true that this tablet has battery issues? And this tablet only charge with the original charger, which is sold separately? Thanks in advance for any help.
Does this tablet still overheat and drain battery life like nothing? I heard that became a huge problem for this tablet ever since the marshmallow update.
Just cause it is for gaming...does not mean you need to be a gamer, just a pro (as in a positive point to have) ....it means it runs better then most tablets....btw, for charging cable can you just get one at Walmart or Walgreens?...plz respond..like...
This is great, and all But what is the best 7" or 8" Phablet? Nothing worse then having to carry Two Devices, 'cause the Tablet lacks both Mobile Data, and worse still Voice.
Hi Danny. Seems like your video has been ripped off by a user called Sunny Singh. I would rather have PMed you, but I can't figure out how to do that since RUclips changed its messaging system.
+Danny Winget I see no options to report stolen content. The closest thing is "Infringes my rights", which applies to you, not me. Why is why I gave you the channel's name :)
I prefer the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7. This tablet has been my daily driver for over 6 months and i havent really had any complains with the tablet every since. In my opinion it is the best tablet of 2015. One problem i have is that the Tab S2 doesnt have marshmallow yet.
sweet gaming tablet for the price I am more into drawing and art creation though, I have never used an android tablet, I wonder if the "pro create" app is available on android ?
Luke Cowley yeah it is. all android tablets are, however I don't recommend it for the shield because its going to void the warranty if it bricks (the less popular the brand, the more the chance of you screwing up a root basically)
нано схиноновски understanding what rooting is hardly makes someone a genius. You dont need to be a geek or software developer to understand what it is. In fact, if you even have to ask if it can be rooted then you probably dont even know what rooting is, since all android devices can be rooted.
Kingler rooting itself does not make your phone slower. It just gives you administrator access. Once rooted, you have the potential to make your phone faster or slower.
I just got a n11.6 inch Microsoft net book for $149 with windows 10. not fast but works for me. Touch screen and detachable key board. Added a 64 gig micro sd for storage
Hi man! I just wanted to ask you for some advice. I recently sold my xbox one so that I could get a more portable device. I am young and working on a low budget. I just wanted to ask if you think this would be a good investment in the long term? Cheers
the new price is tempting but i know the second i buy it they will announce the x1 version that i have been waiting for since july, jesus christ i wish they would hurry up and announce a release date for the new x1 version already
Hi Danny!, I want to upgrade from my Galaxy Note 10.1 to either this or the Tab S 8 (not S2), The only reason I am not picking this up right now is because I have doubts regarding the 2GB ram and the Full HD screen (compared to QHD)...... would love your input!
i just bought for my mom, and I am amazed with the screen. The tablet is also very smooth. But 1 thing that realllyy bothered me was that the playstore kept chrasing. The softback is somehow a fingerprint magnet which was weird cause i just washed my hands:S and i couldnt get rid of the fingerprints .
+Danny Winget Would you recommend to get the Shield K1 tablet now? Or to wait for the Shield X1 tablet that's supposedly coming out at the end of Q1 2016
Hey Danny, excellent vid! Does Android 6.0 have multi-screen support like the Samsung feature? I'm not looking to use a tablet for gaming but more of a productivity tool for school btw.
Yeah, I do Agee. This is awesome. Does it seamlessly handle any 3D game? What's its limit? Price is GRREAT. Seems like this would play movies without a hitch. Am I right? Thank you and have a great Holiday.
Like that reverse Intro on the Marshmallows 👍
Awesome Review, really liked that intro how the marshmallows warped into the tablet. Sweet!
Strange they don't include a cable. Great review Danny!
Well Tim, it's $200 as your aware. Have practically the same specs as the $300 nvdia tablet as of last year. If they just have to drop charger and stylus, it's worth it.

Very odd!
better choice then the iPad mini 4?
It's half the price lol. So I don't now if it is better but it is for sure a great alternative.
***** lol
+Danny Winget this is why i dont trust you "tech" reviewers, You think High Price = High Specs
+hot2go2 I own one but any Apple A9 device is going to pummel this. This thing kicks the ass of my iPad Mini 3, but mt 6s kills it. But nobody beats this price point.
+Tak Wolf in terms of graphics performance? no way an A9 device beats a Kepler GPU with 192 cores. In fact the benchmarks put the shield at about twice the power of an iphone 6s.
Really like this tablet. Hands down the best at its price point!
+Hackers World Mine or dannys haha
+Hackers World Thanks man!
+Bountyy Vainglory pretty much any tablet made after 2014 then?
The good display is easy...get a high pixel per inch count but the speakers is another matter. Consider that there are some fantastic rechargeable external speakers out there that sound better than any phone or tablet I have ever heard. Ignore the tablet speakers and go for a "hockey puck" sized speaker. I love my rechargeable JVC speaker and use it all the time. Good luck!

"This tablet is under $200!"
"$199..."
Nice troll
+Egg Head technically it is :D
+Egg Head you are the one who's trolling if you claim that 199 is more than 200.
TickleMeShlomo No, I'm not trolling, I'm just confused how someones going to say under $200 but its $199. I'll just pay it in $200.
+Egg Head agreed cuz 199 doesn't really make a difference to 200, might as well just buy it at 200
Emperor Darkness So how far under is okay? Where do you draw the line? Please give an exact figure.
Can't believe this tablet was not on my radar you are the only one who I've seen review it. Is really cool its like the Nexus 7 is alive again!
does it come in a ten inch version?
how is the WiFi connection? i read some people complain about connectivity issues with the tablet not connecting etc.
I was an earlier adopter and bought the original...The first one received had the cracking chassis. The one that I have now is plagued with sporadic lag even when I am not gaming.

Not Available anymore in stores being sold at almost double the price on Amazon.
I want to see this one compared to the ZenPad s8 CA model.
Have it for over a year now. Very good tablet and I use it daily at home! Its performance blows the latest Samsung tablet away. Drop it numerous times and even submerge it in bath briefly and still work. It even has pressure sensitive capasive stylus!?! Yes! it uses its extra core for the magical capasive stylus.

Lots of users found out that with android 6 there is a core forced at 100% even in standby.
Thanks for the review!
Big time question, why do tablets have a rear camera ? Even if you gotta have both shouldn't the front one be prioritized ?
Great video, cheers !!

I just wish the brightness on this thing was better. It looks really dim compared to the Samsung tablets.
Please!! Please please!! tell us How warm does it get while gamming?
Man.. I'm trying to decide on this, or the Sony Xperia z4.. which is like 600 bucks! I really want to game, but I also want to view photos in high detail! Someone told me the Shield tablet not really good for viewing photos... etc.
debating to myself whether i should get this tablet
Awesome video Danny! The quality of your videos have been getting better and better! You should have at least a million subscribers!
1:11 "..a mini hdmi input for 4K output.." ???
Hi! Is that $199 NVIDIA Shield tablet has a controller? Or you need to buy the Controller bundle with the SHIELD Tablet..
hi can you please answer couple of question for me. 1. what happens when you are watching movie or playing games and if your tablet is charging at same time, does it hold the charge at same % or goes up or down? 2. when I'm charging it with quick charge 3.0 charger, the tablet touch becomes less sensitive and I have to click harder on screen? please check and let me know if got have above issues
I ordered this for my dji phantom 3 , glad to see I can use it for other things now, nice video!

Patricia Fernandez ya it's just a normal micro USB cable
Remember! You need the fast U3 microSD cards as they write much faster than normal U1
This is great, and all But what is the best 7" or 8" Phablet? Nothing worse then having to carry Two Devices, 'cause the Tablet lacks both Mobile Data, and worse still Voice.
it bugs me that they got rid of the stylus as well. love mine so much I bought this version for my sister
Hi Danny. Seems like your video has been ripped off by a user called Sunny Singh. I would rather have PMed you, but I can't figure out how to do that since RUclips changed its messaging system.
Flag it! Thank you

I see no options to report stolen content. The closest thing is "Infringes
my rights", which applies to you, not me. Why is why I gave you the
channel's name :)
+Danny Winget How much is it in Pounds? I'm from Great Britain.
138.83 pounds
Wow! That's not bad!
Happy new year and may Christmas!! I will love to run the RUclipsr starter kit!!
can you say that this is a better tablet than the Nexus 9?
I think I will definitely get one of these for my DSLR camera and gaming on this thing!
I prefer the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7. This tablet has been my daily driver for over 6 months and i havent really had any complains with the tablet every since. In my opinion it is the best tablet of 2015. One problem i have is that the Tab S2 doesnt have marshmallow yet.
+Arkham Knight Well but you cant compare 500 bucks tab with a 200bucks tab
SebbAV i never actually made a comparison between them. I just said which tablet was my favorite.
+Arkham Knight meaningless comment if you don't explain why.
sweet gaming tablet for the price
I am more into drawing and art creation though, I have never used an android tablet, I wonder if the "pro create" app is available on android ?
Could you do a review of the Nexus 6P? I'd love to see that and hear what you think about it.
How does this compare to the Zenpad S 8.0. It is the same price and I was looking at both tablets.
TNX, just ordered the tablet. Saw your weather, Spring Hill? Do you live there?
We will be there next month.
At 5:24 plz tell me which game that was ?
Half Life 2
+Danny Winget thanks 😊
can we go to the store to buy one
This is a silly question, but my son is asking for a tablet he can "root" is this "root capable"?
Luke Cowley yeah it is. all android tablets are, however I don't recommend it for the shield because its going to void the warranty if it bricks (the less popular the brand, the more the chance of you screwing up a root basically)
Luke Cowley lmao if u root that slows/desroys your device
нано схиноновски understanding what rooting is hardly makes someone a genius. You dont need to be a geek or software developer to understand what it is. In fact, if you even have to ask if it can be rooted then you probably dont even know what rooting is, since all android devices can be rooted.
Kingler rooting itself does not make your phone slower. It just gives you administrator access. Once rooted, you have the potential to make your phone faster or slower.
does it includes sim?
i mean for cellular calls and shit?
i´m thinking about buying this tablet for my projects using aduino uno, would it be perfect for the job or should i keep looking around?
doesn't seem to be available anymore
Have they fixed that micellenious battery thing yet on mashmellow?
This tablet looks good. But can it replace a Ipad Air
Fail! My second K1 is a failure. The maps application keeps spinning round and round and round.
1.) Is this OTG capable?
2.) can we use other controllers besides the nvidia one?
I just got a n11.6 inch Microsoft net book for $149 with windows 10. not fast but works for me. Touch screen and detachable key board. Added a 64 gig micro sd for storage
What is the antutu 6.0.1 score just to compare with the new xiaomi mi pad 2?

do you have any recommendation on micro SD card?
Is the stylus sold separately too?
thanks for the review! is there an LTE version?
How much can u fit....like with the sd card...128 GB????
how does this tablet compare to the xiaomi mi pad?
Hi man! I just wanted to ask you for some advice. I recently sold my xbox one so that I could get a more portable device. I am young and working on a low budget. I just wanted to ask if you think this would be a good investment in the long term? Cheers
In my crappy city of Toronto, I can't find the tablet all.
I'm guessing there is a higher end version for like double the price?
No there was but now they only sell one model
Hope i win tech bundle in the giveaway....btw nice video... :)

@Danny Winget the Smartisan T2 is out now!!!! Make a video about it ASAP!!!
I Tried to throw marshmallows at my iPad Mini 2, it did nothing, lier.
Try it with an android tablet!
Can you link your steam account with the tablet for the games?
So do they give a charger with it
absolutely love your vids bro! btw u said "A 8 inch tablet" instead of saying 'an 8 inch tablet'
I noticed that, too! :)
Where can I get that camera app ?
the new price is tempting but i know the second i buy it they will announce the x1 version that i have been waiting for since july, jesus christ i wish they would hurry up and announce a release date for the new x1 version already
where did the stylus hole go?
Hi Danny!, I want to upgrade from my Galaxy Note 10.1 to either this or the Tab S 8 (not S2), The only reason I am not picking this up right now is because I have doubts regarding the 2GB ram and the Full HD screen (compared to QHD)...... would love your input!
Android 6.0, front stereo speakers, k1 processor, mini hdmi port........ Nuff said
hey Danny! nice video. whats the music you use in your videos? it's hella dope.
I'm guessing for that price its only WI-FI?
What do you think about xiaomi mi pad 2?
I thought it was dual core not quad?
Tegra K1 is Quad Core.
oh I was thinking of the k1 denver lolol
+Danny Winget Can you delete Fallout Shelter BTW you have great videos Thks
is the screen in 1080p?
i just bought for my mom, and I am amazed with the screen. The tablet is also very smooth. But 1 thing that realllyy bothered me was that the playstore kept chrasing. The softback is somehow a fingerprint magnet which was weird cause i just washed my hands:S and i couldnt get rid of the fingerprints .
Hi Danny! Has this tablet any screen mode for reading ebooks?
damm. i cannot find this tab in my country. only have clone type. my friend have one order from outside. he said this tab the best for gaming
5:36 It's not 7,99 a month it is €9,99 a month.

+Danny Winget Would you recommend to get the Shield K1 tablet now? Or to wait for the Shield X1 tablet that's supposedly coming out at the end of Q1 2016
Hey Danny, excellent vid! Does Android 6.0 have multi-screen support like the Samsung feature? I'm not looking to use a tablet for gaming but more of a productivity tool for school btw.
yes it does
Does not have split screen multitasking.
better than the sg tab A?
Is it still processing?
Yeah, I do Agee. This is awesome. Does it seamlessly handle any 3D game? What's its limit? Price is GRREAT.
Seems like this would play movies without a hitch. Am I right? Thank you and have a great Holiday.
