Reviews for the NVIDIA Shield Tablet K1

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.

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.

8.00":

This display format is in the mid-range for smartphones. It offers a compromise between good visibility, details and resolution on the screen, and you can still fit it into trouser pockets.

88%: This is an above-average rating. Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that about one fifth of all tested models receive a better rating.
