Yes you can hook a Bluetooth keyboard up to it and browse the Internet and there are forms to help you look for stuff that may not be supported within the apps
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Download Puffin Browser and attach a keyboard. You can attach pretty much anything you want to this thing and it'll recognize.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.1. As far as the internet goes you can search for browsers in the Google Play store. I took a couple pictures to show the one for reference (numbered in order). There are also 2 USB ports so if you have a hard drive with movies or shows stored on ut you can watch any of them just by plugging it in. The app i prefer for that type of viewing is called NOVA. There are countless streaming apps available as well. 2. Yes you can use a keyboard. I have a wireless Logitech K830 that i use. You can also use voice controls which is even easier rather than a keyboard. 3. Regarding gaming there a bunch of free games available from Nvidia, even more if you pay for GEforce. The gaming remote is not included with the Pro model but can be bought separately. There are excellent games that are a little older for free like Tombraider. This would definitely be your cheapest option to start gaming rather than buy a console like a PS4 or Xbox. I have a PS4 Pro so that's my go to for games however my other Nvidia Shield is in my Master Bedroom so if i feel up to it I'll mess around with the games here and there. Also if you have a 4K tv this is by far the best way to stream anything as long as you have solid internet speeds. Dolby Vison, Dolby Atmos and the 4K HDR features makes this well worth the money. The Tegra processor is beast so there's no freezing or lag whatsoever. Hopefully this helps!
