NVIDIA Shield Tablet P1761W

The mobile games arena is taking the world by storm and the Nvidia Shield tablet is basically a gaming tablet. With powerful innards running inside and the affordable price, everyone looking for a higher-end tablet should take a look, even if you’re not a gamer.

Its screen measures at 8-inches with a 1920 x 1200 resolution. The IPS display ensures great viewing angles and all your games and movies will look great in Full HD. The star of the show is the 192 core Nvidia Tegra K1 GPU coupled with a 2.2GHz quad core processor. It also has 2 GB of RAM for multitasking.

The Shield tablet is definitely optimized for games and apps and heavy games will run smoothly. You can play simple games, resource hungry games and K1 exclusive and optimized games. It also features PC streaming so that you can play your PC library on your TV. While the display is impressive, it also features stereo front facing speakers which ensure better and clearer sound.

Both the front and rear cameras are 5 MP and comes with HDR. The controller and case that doubles as a stand do not come with the initial price. Nvidia claims that you can get 10 hours out of it but don't expect to watch a movie or play a game for 10 hours straight. For the price, it is a great choice for a tablet and it's also future proof with its powerful hardware.

100% Nvidia Shield Tablet review - a supercharged tablet, now with Android Lollipop
Source: Expert Reviews Archive.org version
The Nvidia Shield Tablet isn't just one of the first third party devices to get an update to Android 5.0 Lollipop - it's also a colossally powerful Android gaming tablet that leaves all its rivals in the dust. In terms of sheer gaming performance very few tablets can compete, and it can also be used to stream PC games from a laptop, PC or the Cloud.

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 capable with casual gaming too, but is equally as adept with more hardcore offerings.

80% Nvidia Shield Tablet review: Blistering power, painfully priced

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 best gaming tablets on the market right now. Still, high price point aside the Nvidia Shield Tablet enjoys major kudos for innovation and pure, unbridled power. And for that, it can have four of our finest stars.

The Shield Tablet really is the ultimate gaming tablet. There’s absolutely no question about that.

For sheer processing power, the Nvidia Shield Tablet blows other tablets out of the water, and it's loaded with useful features and connectivity options. It's genuinely impressive Nvidia could fit so much power and flexibility into an 8-inch tablet. Its $300 price tag might seem a bit high compared with a gaming device like a PS Vita or Nintendo 3DS, and even compared with a small Android tablet like a Google Nexus 7, but it offers more than enough functionality to make up for it.

Testing: Surface Pro 3 and Shield Tablet's Styli
Source: Tested Archive.org version
The Surface Pro 3 is a great laptop first, OK tablet second. The Shield Tablet is a great streaming (video+games) box first, OK tablet second. Their dual roles don't come at the expense of dealbreaking compromises. That's an approach we're unlikely to see from Apple, even though it is beginning to open up its SDK to third-party accessories like Adobe's Ink and Slide and gamepads. The touch-first emphasis of iOS has kept iPad ahead as the best pure tablet experience, but the touch-only tablet category is shrinking as competitors continue to experiment and innovate--successfully.

Nvidia's approach may be slightly different this year, but the end result is the largely the same - if you're serious about Android gaming then this really is the only option in town. It offers console-standard graphics - along with a console-quality controller (albeit at an additional cost) - and a fantastic user experience. Add to this the ability to stream PC games and you've got a slate which will have serious players drooling with excitement; it's just a shame that the controller doesn't come as standard and that there are so few Android games out there that truly push the Shield Tablet to its absolute limits.

Nvidia's first Shield device was a good showcase of the Tegra 4 processor, but was limited as a dedicated gaming device. We test the new Shield Tablet and wireless controller, and show off its gaming and productivity features. We also evaluate the stylus, Nvidia's new Grid Beta, and Shield's built-in Twitch streaming capabilities. This ends up being one of our favorite Android tablets, with few compromises for all of its features.

Would we buy the Shield Tablet if we owned the original Shield (now renamed the Shield Portable)? Probably not. If we were looking for a new tablet and top-notch gaming performance was on the checklist, the Shield Tablet is easily the top contender today. We’d take it over the second-gen Nexus 7 in a heartbeat.

80% Shield Tablet review: The best tablet for gamers, but not for everyone else
Source: Greenbot Archive.org version
If you’re a big PC gamer and want to play games on an Android tablet, the Shield Tablet should really be on top of your list. It’s a good enough tablet to do all the regular tablet-y things like email, web browsing, and book reading, and it’s just so much faster and more capable for gaming than any other tablet that there really isn’t any competition. Nvidia does a great job with its tablet software, knowing exactly where to leave Android alone and where to add value.

If we were looking for a new tablet and top notch gaming performance was on the checklist, the Shield Tablet is easily the top contender today. We'd take it over the second-gen Nexus 7 in a heart beat. While we understand why Nvidia decided to separate the cover and controller to keep the prices down and avoid the Kinect factor, we think a bundled package with a small price break as an alternative would have been nice. All things considered though, consider us surprised. The Shield Tablet is pretty dang cool.

The Fastest Tablet Available
Source: Hot Hardware Archive.org version
One of NVIDIA’s stated goals with the SHIELD tablet was to build the best tablet for mobile gamers. But to do so, they first had to build a good general-purpose tablet. We think NVIDIA has pulled it off. The build quality on the SHIELD tablet is top notch; the device is rigid, it looks great, and it feels good in the hand. The screen is also very good, the speakers sound great (for a tablet) and general usability is excellent.

The NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet effectively creates a second (or is it a third?) generation for Android tablets and indeed tablets in general with several key features. The ability to seamlessly connect with your PC wirelessly coupled with a robust, high quality build and a dedicated software support system from NVIDIA means the SHIELD Tablet is an undeniable winner.

I think it speaks volumes that the SHIELD Tablet is the first device I have reviewed where I didn’t think anything belonged in a “Not-so-Good” section. During my time with the unit, I didn’t come across a single gripe or pain point, which seems so rare these days. There is always something that I don’t care for in a device, but the SHIELD Tablet simply delivers exactly what it was made to, with no gimmicks and no bullsh*t.

Nvidia Shield Tablet could be Android games console we actually want and here's why
Source: Pocket Lint Archive.org version
Nvidia is open and honest about why it never brought the Nvidia Shield Android gaming device to the UK or, indeed, anywhere else outside of the US and Canada; it just wasn't good enough. Or, at least, by the time it became good enough something else was planned to supersede it. It was the company's first foray into manufacturing its own hardware and as such was an opportunity for Nvidia to learn more about such factors as the supply chain and distribution. It gained a lot of consumer product experience in the process and now feels ready to further its reach beyond its homeland borders.

Tegra K1 Gaming is Near: NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet & Controller Preview
Source: Techgage Archive.org version
On the topic of availability, all three components (including the SHIELD Cover, priced at $39), will be available in the US and Canada on July 29th. Europe, which got the shaft when it came to the SHIELD portable (understandably, I suppose – NVIDIA was diving in head-first where releasing its own direct product was concerned), will see availability in mid-August. Finally, we’ll see support for other regions pop up this fall. Overall, I’d say that this is an impressive showing by NVIDIA, and as a big fan of the SHIELD portable, this launch gives me big relief that the series didn’t become a one-off sort of deal. I look forward to seeing the SHIELD Tablet in action.

NVIDIA Shield Tablet LTE P1761

The Nvidia Shield Tablet LTE P1761 is a next gen portable gaming device crammed into the all familiar tablet form. At first glance, the Shield looks like any other tablet with its full black chassis, block-form with very subtle curves. The Nvidia Shield Tablet LTE P1761 is equipped with an Nvidia Tegra K1 192 Core Kepler GPU, a 2.2 GHz ARM Cortex A15 CPU and 2 GB RAM.

The setup is powerful enough for portable gaming and even Nvidia GameStream, which allows PC games to be streamed onto the tablet. The user will be interacting with an 8 inch 1920 x 1200 Full HD display with multi-touch capability. The LTE version only comes with the option of 32 GB storage. Users will be happy about microSD support for increasing memory. Other features are mini-HDMI out, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS with GLONASS, dual-band WiFi, and a DirectStylus 2 with 3D Paint application.

Any software updates will directly come from Nvidia as the Shield uses customized software. The most notable feature is the ability for the Nvidia Shield Tablet LTE P1761 to use a Shield wireless controller making it console-like. The battery output is rated at 10.75 Wh.

80% Nvidia Shield Tablet (32GB, LTE)
Source: PC Mag Archive.org version
With Qualcomm dominating the smartphone chipset market in the U.S., Nvidia is doubling down on its core competency: gaming. Even so, with a $399 price tag and LTE connectivity, the Shield Tablet has exceptional appeal for gamers and non-gamers alike. It blows other tablets out of the water when it comes to gaming and has an outstanding price-to-feature ratio for an LTE-enabled tablet. There are two comparable models available with LTE connectivity: the iPad mini with Retina and Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4, both of which cost $529.99 with AT&T LTE and only come with 16GB of internal storage.

NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet LTE Review
Source: Slashgear Archive.org version
The NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet with Wi-Fi and 16GB of internal storage will run you $299 MSRP, while the 32GB LTE version will cost $399. We’d recommend picking up a SHIELD Cover along with whatever model you get - that’ll cost you $39 for a magnetic flap that attaches to the side of the tablet extremely well, protecting your precious glass display in the process.

100% Nvidia Shield Tablet LTE
Source: Recombu Archive.org version
Nvidia’s Shield Tablet LTE offers strong value for £299, even before the gaming side is considered. For that cash you get a light and portable tablet with a Full HD display, decent stereo speakers, 4G support, an accurate stylus and enough power to keep your apps and games ticking over for a good, long while. If you're not big into gaming, something like the Nexus 7 tablet might be better suited for you, with its similar Full HD display and clean Android interface, but gamers shouldn't look anywhere else - the Nvidia Shield Tablet is the king of portable gaming devices.

80% Nvidia Shield Tablet K1
Source: PC Mag Archive.org version
The Nvidia Shield Tablet K1 is a great midrange slate, and not just for gaming. It delivers powerful performance, a light and unassuming body, and very good battery liffe. Add to that the fact that it can play more games than any other Android tablet, and you have a winner for gamers and non-gamers alike. The Predator 8 gets you better sound quality and haptic feedback, but it costs $100 more and doesn't have access to GeForce Now games. The Galaxy Tab S2 is another good choice, with a sharper screen and multi-window multitasking, but it's even more expensive at $400. That makes the K1 a top pick among midrange tablets, and an Editors' Choice.

100% Nvidia Shield Tablet K1 review - now with Android Marshmallow
Source: Expert Reviews Archive.org version
We loved the Nvidia Shield when it first arrived, and the price cut only makes us love it more. For £150 there’s very little else out there that’s as powerful or as flexible when it comes to gaming. Losing the stylus and power adaptor to significantly lower the price doesn’t make it any less of a bargain, as we didn’t find the stylus very useful and have plenty of USB cables lying around. The design, while tweaked, can’t compete with the Asus ZenPad S, and many will prefer Google’s Nexus 9 for its 4:3 aspect ratio display, but you’ll have to spend significantly more to get anything better. It retains its Best Buy award.

With the Shield Tablet K1, Nvidia has done it again – producing an excellent mobile gaming device in the form of a powerful Android tablet. And all for the very affordable price of £149.

At just £149, the Nvidia Shield Tablet K1 offers very strong value for money - although of course you'll need to stump up anohter £49.99 for the controller and £19.99 for the Nvidia cover. However, that's still a solid deal and well worth grabbing if you're a big gaming fan and don't already own last year's Shield Tablet.

Comment

NVIDIA:

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

NVIDIA GeForce Tegra 4: Integrated graphics card in the Tegra 4 SoC with 48 pixel and 24 vertex shaders (no unified shader architecture).

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

NVIDIA GeForce ULP K1 (Tegra K1 Kepler GPU): In Tegra K1 SoC integrated graphics card based on the Kepler architecture. Features a single SMX with 192 cores and full OpenGL 4.4 support (e.g. with Tessellation).

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.

NVIDIA Tegra:

4: 4-PLUS-1 Cortex-A15 processor part paired with a Geforce graphics cards with 72 cores.

K1: System on a Chip (SoC) for smartphones and tablets. Integrates a 4+1 Cortex-A15 CPU as well as a Kepler-based GPU with 192 CUDA cores.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

5.00:

It is a very small display format for smartphones. You should by no means be mis-sighted and you will generally see very little on the screen and only have a small resolution available. In return, the device should be very small and handy.

8.00:

Large smartphones and a few small tablets are available for this display size. Unlike most smartphones, you can see more on the screen, more details and use larger resolutions. Such formats are better for people with defective vision. However, such devices are no longer easy to fit in a pocket, and they are probably not quite light either.

No weight comment found (one expected)!

87.4%: This is an above-average rating. Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that about one fifth of all tested models receive a better rating.
