Nvidia to announce Shield Tablet, has a K1 and starts at $299 - Polidicks

[QUOTE=seano12;45460158]I've never seen the need for a tablet, but now as I age and will be on the go much more it doesn't seem like a terrible idea. I liked the EVGA Tegra Note for its industrial design and decent price, and I'm liking the sounds of this one too. What do you guys like the most about your tablets?[/QUOTE] personally i'd recommend [URL="http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-ThinkPad-Tablet-Stylus-367927U/dp/B009TLA7P4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405984564&sr=8-1&keywords=lenovo+thinkpad+2"] the thinkpad 2[/URL], originally i got it for college just for note taking but it is pretty damn useful with it's stylus. i've loaded up quite a bunch of drawing and engineering programs on it. i haven't tried gaming on it all that much, i only have killing floor on it as a gimmick.

[QUOTE=Korova;45450029]Goddamn it, I don't want a tablet if I'm going to be leaving it connected to the television. Give me a console minus the screen hardware. All I want to do is stream my games to the living room television and currently Shield is the only option for this. Steam needs to support streaming, like seriously, the app has gone untouched since 2012.[/QUOTE] [img_thumb]http://hometheaterreview.com/images/HDMIcable.jpg[/img_thumb]

In terms of ease of use and a streamlined experience, with tons of app support, I'd go for an iPad, but it is severely limited in terms of customization. If you want something closer to a PC experience I'd recommend a Windows 8 tablet, but one with an i5 and at least 4GB of RAM. They're pretty slick and the Metro interface is extremely good on a touch screen. It's also very convenient to be able to run standard x64 programs too. I've personally had two Android tablets, the Motorola Xoom and the Nexus 7, but personally I didn't really enjoy them and they didn't seem to fit my needs well. But Android is preferable over iOS if you enjoy being able to heavily modify your device and have complete control over the filesystem. Personally for me, the app support just wasn't enough and the experience was too inconsistent for me to properly enjoy it, and I found that I didn't really need much of the customization that was available.

First Tegra chipset that isn't an overrated pile of shit, huzzah

There is hardware that is more powerful than Tegra, but the problem is that the branding is confusing to the consumer. Snapdragon model numbers seem completely arbitrary to the consumer and can be hard to differentiate between them, whilst Tegra follows a more traditional, sensible, numbering system of 1,2,3,4 etc.
