New NVIDIA Shield Tablet K1 is $200, same specs as before

17 November, 2015
NVIDIA unveiled a new tablet, the Shield Tablet K1, which is a refreshed version of the Shield Tablet from last year. The GPU maker didn’t really add anything, it's more about what was removed – like $100 off the price.

The Samsung galaxy tab s 10.2 has 3 gigabytes of ddr3 ram and a octacore processor and 4k super amoled display and is available from 16 gb internal to 128 gb internal.........this is completely superior to ipad.
However if you can't afford the tab s then this $200.00 shield tablet is for you, now as far as gaming is considered the tab s is number one on performance because everything about the tab s all the way down to is hardware and battery is all manufactured by Samsung even the cpu because the exynos 5420 octacore processor and the chipset is exynos along with the gpu all made by Samsung. I'm not slanderous twords the Nvidia shield they just Need to develop more on it, but great tablet overall but second place in my book

    Ritzie, 18 Nov 2015That's just speculation. The Cupertino A9x isn't benchmark... moreI agree but there is other options.

              It's 200 dollars for something multimedia/game oriented. Quite the bargain, really.

                AnonD-352420, 17 Nov 2015Just buy the ipad pro, has more power than the x1That's just speculation.
                The Cupertino A9x isn't benchmarked yet for iPAD pro because it isn't release yet and analysts agree that there's a slight chance that it will win over Tegra X1 in terms of CPU performance but might equal or lose in Graphics performance.
                Until it is officially benchmarked, we won't know for sure.

                Research on -
                Digital Trens
                Tegra X1 vs A9x

                  AnonD-167280, 18 Nov 2015So this GEFORCE NOW I have questions about it. If its stre... moreYes
                  Some people have already tried it but noticed slight slowness or intermittent issues but it's not that obvious unless you compare it with the Shield Tablet side to side
                  I suspect it has something to do with Software and UI Optimization.

                  App-wise, yes, the performance is the same (if we disregard the UI lags)

                    So this GEFORCE NOW I have questions about it.
                    If its streaming games so thats means I need high speed internet but dont need a pc, right?
                    So this feature can be used on mi pad too? Since its too k1 based.
                    Is skyrim supported?

                      leaving the 32gb was a bad move

                      But i wonder if they fix the previous models having overheating issues, hence everything is recalled and out of stock.

                            9.7 Inches would be perfect for this tablet, 8" is a bit little

                              According to few sites, they do not offer any 32GB variant or LTE variant. Theres only 16GB Wifi only.
