Yeah the Shield TV has a fan, the Shield Tablet doesn't.

If I guessed I'd say the Fan would only be used in docked mode, and the underclocked GPU in handheld mode means it can get away with just passive cooling, or worse case scenario a much lower fan speed.

I know at least one guy who played the Switch reported that the fan does function just more sparingly when undocked.  Which does suggest that even undocked the chip can put out some noticeable heat.

Maybe in the future when it gets a die shrink, they wont need the cooling element that the current models have.

Save some battery life that the fan takes up.

 

^ is this the internal 32 GB storage it has?

*googled hac-emmc and yeah it looks like this is flash storage.

Tag. Want to hear what is said now that we finally have hardware pics.

my first thoughts are its tiny, and looks more like a phone than a console on the inside.
