Nvidia Shield mini review: 10 reasons why Nvidia Shield is the best gaming handheld you can buy

[r3tr0gam3r1337]

sorry but the shield as promising as it was at E3 offers very little in terms of future proofing, let me explain, every year people like to upgrade their hardware and try to pick what offers them the best bang for their buck, currently (but only for the past 5 months) Nvidia have had faster graphics cards than their competitor AMD, at the end of september 2013 they are going to release the successor to the 7970 in the 9000 series of GPU's, would you restrict your gaming pleasure by having a slower GPU just so you could carry on playing on the shield?.

there are plenty of Android tablets that have nvidia tegra in them and no doubt the google nexus 3 will have Nvidia tegra 4 technology but a lot cheaper than the slate and you can already buy a wireless bluetooth controller called the MOGA pro which is 100% compatible with all android devices, there are also free streaming apps which can be installed on a PC to sync with an android device which pretty much does exactly what the shield does but works with both Nvidia and AMD GPU's (shield only works with GTX 600/700 series GPU's, it will not work with GTX 500/400/300/200 etc), shield is more of a novelty item rather than an all out solution, what's wrong with having a 30 foot HDMI cord linking your PC to your big screen TV and getting a wireless controller which works over 30 feet away for the source.
