the Jazz mini is a beautiful and compact aluminum stand for your smartphone that
even holds tablets up to 8 in Click now to learn more the tegr Note 7 is the
second fruit born of NVIDIA's ongoing strategy of well if no one else is going
to recognize the greatness of our processors then damn it we're just going to build the finished products ourselves
then it is the second handheld device to use NVIDIA's latest and greatest tagra
for system on a chip but unlike the first device that rolled around one that
I happen to be a huge fan of the NVIDIA Shield this one is in a much more
conventional form factor the Tegra Note 7 is a plain Jane 7-in tablet designed
to go head-to-head against products like the Google Nexus 7 and iPad Mini so
first up is the specs with a 1280x 800
16 X10 aspect ratio display that unfortunately doesn't use Gorilla Glass
NVIDIA won't be winning any awards for who has the best most retinal display or
anything like that but personally thanks in large part to the vibrant colors and
strong viewing angles enabled by the IPS display Tech in it I find the screen and
pixel density acceptable if unexceptional at this size the base and
until the lte1 is available only model weighs 32 G features a quad core 1.8 GHz
Tegra 4 processor with GeForce graphics and comes with 1 gig of RAM single
stream 2.4 GHz Wireless N and Bluetooth 4.0 and a 15w hour battery that delivers
adequate but uninspired iring battery life like Shield the Note 7 uses a
version of Android that's about as close to stock as you can get short of buying
an nexcess device and comes with NVIDIA's promise of timely support for
newer versions something that they've actually done quite well up until this
time with both shield and Note 7 running the latest 4.4.2 as of the time we're
filming this video on the back of the unit we find a rear facing 5 megapixel
camera a Tegra Note logo and the partner branding of whoever is responsible for
sale and support of the device in your region on the top we find volume control
and a Micro SD slot a definite plus since the tablet itself is only
available in a 16 gig configuration and on the left side we've got a lock button
headphone jack micro HDMI and micro USB for charging a position that I actually
like since it keeps these connectors out of the way if you're watching a movie or
playing a game in landscape mode the right side has a base port and slot for
the included stylus whenever you're not using it and I guess that's pretty much
it for the physical tour so what did NVIDIA really do here to
differentiate themselves well a couple of things first up I love the industrial
design I wish Google had never done away with the textured back of the original
Nexus 7 and I'm very pleased to see that make a return here along with a bit of
the aggressive you know flare that NVIDIA does so well next up is the
front-facing speakers having grown accustomed to an HTC1 over the last year
or so I find Sid mounted or heaven forbid rearm mounted speak speakers to
be abominable to use and I can't wait until that unfortunate design approach
goes away entirely third and this is where things get really interesting is
the stylus NVIDIA hasn't included a premium digitizer like you might find in
a Wacom tablet albeit at a much higher price but rather an unusual
implementation that offloads touch controller processing to the low power
fifth core present on All tagra 4 S so's
this allows this relatively lowcost tabl
I mean for all the things I've said that haven't sounded that impressive throughout this video it is a very
inexpensive tablet to ship with no taking and drawing apps that support
ignoring your palms and correctly detecting the pressure you're putting on
the screen with your pen without an expensive extra screen layer and a
special stylus great features indeed now
with all of that out of the way though I wasn't really sure how to review this
thing tiger 4 is wicked fast okay not quite as fast as the one in shield with
its active cooling mind you but nothing we haven't seen before 7in tablets are
swell but nothing we haven't seen before unless our name is Luke Luke has never
extensively used a tablet so I figured let's do this I hand it to Luke someone
who uses a phone notebook and desktop as part of his daily life and recently got
a shield and see what happens all I told him is this use it as much as you use it
and record your thoughts if it sucks and you think it's pointless say that if you
move a significant chunk of your Computing time over to the device then
say that so let's get his thoughts but first a guide on how to shave your face
sponsored by Dollar Shave Club
what are you doing um how to shave it's well it's
kind of like a how a basic parody no no that's not this is that that's this
disgusting and you have blood on your is that actually blood either way you're
going to have blood of others on your hands if you release this it's actually not
okay okay either way do your do your
proper like advertisement presentment thing present the thing I can't even
talk right now slippery this is disgusting I'll be back I'll do my part
do your part properly we'll be
okay so um yeah Dollar Shave Club saves
you time and and saves you money for less than the price of conventional
shaving gear you can join the club and have highquality razor sent directly to
your door once every month so you don't have to choose between the two terrible
options of either using a dull razor or
being stuck trekking out to the store to fight with a customer service
representative to go get the key from the thing to unlock it so that you can
overpay for blades that have useless features that you don't need like
vibrating handles nope instead of G gimmicks like promising to have Bears
shipping your package from a party warehouse Dollar Shave Club focuses on
delivering highquality bathroom supplies that like their shave butter that was
featured so prominently in this video and goes on clear so you can see what
you're doing while you shave and their butt wipes for men that with the help of
a mirror also go on clear and let you see what you're doing I mean well Dollar
Shave Club doesn't include the mirror for the butt wipes I came up with that idea myself anyway the point is
dollarshaveclub.com Linus to join the club and now I'm going to hand off to Luke for his Impressions on life with
the Tegra Note 7 from NVIDIA as lus said I have not used a tablet before and when
I first got my hands on this tablet my first reaction was this is too small and
Dinky why would I care over a phone spoiler alert that wasn't necessarily
the case but I'll get into that later the first thing that I liked on this tablet not the main thing but the first
thing was emails being able to read a large portion of the email and reply to
it the same time is really nice on my phone I can see some of the email but
not usually a very usable amount and I find myself hiding the keyboard a lot so
I can actually read the person's email to make sure that I'm replying very
specifically to what they were saying so it is nice sending emails on a tablet
but is buying a tablet just for emails worth it probably not um so now into
gaming which I found was awesome on this tablet almost every single game that I
could play on Android on this tablet was
way better on this tablet than on my phone I played on this tablet for quite
a while and then moved back to my phone and was very annoyed at the back of
screen real estate because when you get used to having all of that room for
touchscreen movements and everything else that you might run into when playing games like Raiden being able to
see that much more and being able to move around that much more on the screen is really nice compared to a phone where
it's actually kind of small I even noticed a huge Improvement in this going
from an S3 to a note and going from a note to a tablet is still a very
noticeable Improvement and much much better that being said heavily based
joystick games I have never liked on Android and being able to to play those
on the tablet didn't really make it that much better because it's still a
touchscreen game using joysticks which I find a terrible experience maybe you
like it I don't know that's totally up to you but personally I do not like
touchcreen joysticks so that brought the shield up to point why why not the
shield why not use the shield The Shield is a good device it's great device for
using different things and playing different games like I can't remember what it was called but Raven Shield or
something like that is way better on the shield than it is on a tablet way better
so if you want to play those kind of games if you want to be able to put into console mode and plug into your TV if
you want to be able to do any of that kind of stuff awesome great if you want to be be able to push games from your
computer to the shield and play them in bed or whatever awesome experience
that's great the problem I have with the shield is it's not as well-rounded as
the tablet you're not going to want to send emails on it it feels like you're
punching your name into a game that you haven't played before for the save file
and it's super frustrating because your name's really long and you have to find the worries all the time using the d-pad
or you have to hold the screen in a really weird way to be able to touch things on the screen and neither of that
great experiences so personally I would probably go with the tablet because it's
more well-rounded in my opinion although if you happen to be able to get both
maybe you get a shield on a discount because you bought a graphics card with it or something like that awesome
all-encompassing experience that you will really enjoy all right guys if you
made it past Linus's Dollar Shave Club integration and got here thank you for
