Good fast Android tablet for $200
I ultimately decided to keep my Nexus 9 instead of the K1, but here's my comparison: Form factor is very good. 16:9 screen as opposed to the N9 16:12. My use is in landscape view so being a little less wide is easier for gaming. It is also lighter, but of course the trade-off is the screen being only proportionally 75% the height of the N9. Also, holding the K1 is really nice with the "knurled" rubber speaker area on each end. Very nice to grip! The micro-usb power jack at the top takes some getting used to though. Battery isn't all that great, but probably slightly better than the N9. Battery Saver mode on both stretched it out considerably. I've done timed battery tests while playing Clash and both at ~25-30% brightness. Below are how they compare. Normal battery settings: N9: 4:13 pace K1: 4:30 pace With Battery Saver on: N9: 6:47 pace K1: 7:30 pace Speed is very good. Buttery smooth in game play and other operations. Only a little slow at the very beginning setting up the tablet due to all the app downloads and updates which is not unexpected. Testing with the battery saver mode on for both tablets, the K1 seems faster. I ran Geekbench 3 on both in normal and battery saver modes. Normal battery settings: N9: 1983/3351 K1: 1130/3623 With Battery Saver on: N9: 999/1693 K1: 741/1308 Per these scores, it would seem the N9 is overall better, but maybe there are other factors like the screen size/pixels or graphics optimizations that have the K1 feeling a bit faster, especially in Battery Saver mode. Both are very fast though. Sound seemed very good on the K1. However, I don't think there is any vibration or haptic feedback on the K1. I like that when typing on the screen, but of course not a deal breaker. I have not connected the K1 to a TV or anything yet. I also did not buy the gaming controller.

Awesome Tablet!
I did not order this tablet for gaming, rather I ordered it because it had all the features I wanted in an Android and not cost a fortune. It is an awesome little tablet! The display is fantastic, the sound is fantastic and the speed of the tablet is great. No stuttering, no constant circles, no delays, and it is simple to use. If you have ever had an Android tablet, you will pick up the features and app right away. So far after a few weeks, I have been able to setup email, ebook reader, all my games (card games), cloud storage, everything, no glitches, nothing but a smooth responsive tablet that is easy to use, easy to carry. I even watch MKV movies and stream my audio over the tablet. If there was a downside, its the lack of an office suite. I really like using Microsoft office (there I said it), but do use OpenOffice which is an acceptable substitute but lacks some of the features excel, word and power point offer. So if you are looking for a very affordable android tablet geared for gaming, this is it. Even if you are not a gamer, the price and features of this tablet is awesome!

Great Specs for Price
It's a great tablet for the price. I know its a gaming tablet, and built for that purpose, but we are just using as a simple kids gamer and movie streaming device. I hate slow electronics, so this gave top performance for the price. Good size for watching movies and TV, and the dual front speakers are great for audio. Had a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, and which had much smaller dual front speakers, the Nvidia is much better. Would definitely recommend.
