    The NVIDIA Is awesome!!! I was trying to fly my phantom with my S5 phone and with all the bloatware on the phone it was horrible and impossible to run without constant freezing The NVIDIA Is awesome!!! Clean smooth no lag FPV. And way less than running a IPAD. I had bought both this and the IPAD and just took back the IPAD without opening once I saw how wonderful this worked for my Phantom 3 pro software

    This tablet is great for gamers. It has the power to handle Minecraft without the laggy part like other tablets. Honestly it looks better on the Nvidia Shield tablet rather than an ipad. It's a good price for great graphics!

    For the price nothing compares, all games can be played at top settings and adding Shield Hub offering GEFORCE NOW Membership and ability to stream your PC games anywhere you have WiFi it becomes a gaming computer in your pocket.

    So far I have been extremely pleased with this tablet. Does everything I need it for and quickly. I have a brand new 13" Dell Tablet/Laptop that hardly gets used anymore. Wish I would have purchased this before the Dell.

    This seemed like a very nice tablet, easy setup and brilliant screen but I am a laptop lady and cannot get accustomed to not having a keyboard so I returned it for that reason. I would recommend this product.

    The tablet of my dreams. Fast with games like Minecraft. I am so disappointed because mine was stolen and when I looked to buy another the price had jumped by several hundred dollars! For the same tablet.

    My first review so I'll make it short and sweet. I love the table only con I would say is that some apps I'm accustom to using on my smart phone I can't access on the tablet it will say not compatible w my device but the version available of android on the table could be to blame. Other than that I love it. Its fast, smooth, good graphics, and I use it mostly to draw being an artist and all. So I love it for that and makes my life a lot easier to have a device like this to draw on using the NVidia stylus that I bought separately.

    The Nvidia Shield tablet is a remarkable value for the money. Very powerful with a beautiful display. I've only played casual android games but the performance is excellent.

    This gave me all the latest Android apps & games for cheap money. I had two older iPads - they were great for what their were but were more than twice the price of this Nvidia.

    I bought this to use with Phantom 4 and it works great and no issues what so ever. I Like the fact it has HDMI out and you can connect a pair of goggles to it.

    I researched android tablets for a few weeks before pulling the trigger on this one. I felt the power this unit has compared to the cost was well worth it. Most other units were either bogged downed with additional software or didn't have the versatility that this one had with the expandable memory and the gaming potential. If you have a drone that you want to use a tablet with I highly recommend this one. It's size will fit into most cradles. Even more specifically, if you bought one of the 3DR Solos this is one of the tablets that 3DR recommends and one that other Solo owners recommend.

    This is a great stable tablet. I use it for my DJI Inspire 1 and Autel X-Star Premium drones. I love the screen record functionality that is built in. The only things that are not great are: 1) the battery life (it's not terrible, but not great either) 2) the power button (it's small and mushy and can be hard to push in correctly to turn it on. I still highly recommend this device.

    The best value for a tablet

    I love this tablet. I chose it intially because I can stream PC gameplay to it over WiFi (you must have a compatible Nvidia GPU) but it has many more higher quality games for it compared to regular Android devices. For instance I purchased Half-Life 2 and Portal on the system. The load time isn't as good as the PC version but it is still very nice to be able to play games like that anywhere. The battery life is great and I've never had any issues. And there are hardly any tablets under $200 and any near that price are not as powerful as this one gareenteed.

    bought this for my 6 year old for his birthday to replace his broken nexus 7. the nexus was an amazing tablet also. i like the shield because it has expandable memory and less bloat ware. he loves it, it'll play all his games with ease. some of the older tablets wont play a lot of games he likes so i had to invest with something with good hardware. i actually like this better then my personal tablet which is a samsung S2. way better screen resolution on the shield. no problems at with it, and kids tend to put a lot of stress on these things.
