IDK this thing is actually really ****ing awesome. You get a kickass tablet for $299 and it basically acts as a streaming computer if you want to play PC games on a TV.
Think I'm going to buy one of these.

If only it was 10 Inch... id be sold.
I don't feel like going from 10 to 8 Inch, it's a big downgrade.

you'll need a fortune on top of 299$ for the product to be able to enjoy this thing
a PC with 6xx card isn't cheap

No info on which version of android it's running? And what is up with only 2gb ram on all K1 based stuff, should really be 3-4gb by now.
Looks like an amazing tablet but think I'll wait for the next nexus to replace my current one even if going by what's online it will basically have the same specs

A Chinese Xiaomi MiPad have more or less the same internals and you can buy it today.
Slightly higher resolution on the MiPad too.
Going with the official Nvidia tablet might be better in the long run in terms of updates and support though.

Not without a few quirks though:

Available for preorder
In stock in mid-late august depending on the model. Surprised as the previous Shield didn't come to Norway until much later.

No 64bit version 🙁

Can games and apps be installed on the SD card or are the buyers of the 16gb version just buying a gaming paperweight?

If I want to play video games on my 60inch display I can simply use my already routed hdmi cable connected to my main computer. If I want to play android games I have a smartphone called the Galaxy s5 which I can also plug into my 60inch tv and play games on with a wireless controller. Why would ne1 want something like this ? I don't get it. Better yet I also have a 13in display laptop that blows this thing away and is a real computer with a keyboard! Regardless this is just a gimmick joke item that should never of been made in the first place.

So no update to the first shield device? Why man? That's what we were waiting for. That was way more practical and portable wasn't it?
We've been able to use a tablet and an PS3/XBOX controller for yrs now. My Surface pro 2 + xbox controller + steam makes this irrelevant but i've never wanted to carry all that crap around to play a game.
