NVIDIA has quite the lineup of Shield products now they have the shield
portable which is kind of the all-encompassing handheld version which
you can see lonus review here or you can see me making a ghetto version of it
here they have the Shield tablet which you can see lonus review up here or
finally they have the shield console which you can see by doing nothing if
you want to see a video on the Zotac hybrid cooled Arctic Storm gently caress

Corsair delivers real Mech or nothing with the new strafe mechanical keyboard
featuring genuine german-made Cherry MX switches click now to learn more The
Shield Android TV console rocks the beast mode NVIDIA Tegra X1 featuring an
8 core CPU with four cortex a57 cores
and four cortex a53 cores alongside a
256 core Maxwell GPU and 3 GB of gddr4
RAM that's computationally two times as powerful as an Xbox 360 and six times
the RAM at considerably less power draw
meaning it's the first device to run Android TV in 4k and you can play stuff
like Crisis 3 Borderlands the Pre-Sequel Telltale Games Wolf Among Us and Game of
Thrones halflife 2 War Thunder which has freaking crossplatform support doom 3
and many more natively just by downloading them from the store and
while that's awesome awesome and it plays all these things
impressively I didn't see things like Witcher 3 or even Hearthstone on there
for that matter so what are your other options well right off the bat you have
game stream this being a PC Centric Channel I suspect that most of you will
be able to start game stream almost immediately if you have an NVIDIA GPU
what exactly is game stream well Linus should have a Techquickie episode on
that coming soon so stay tuned for that but for now basically you can use the
power of your NVIDIA GPU equipped computer to do all the heavy lifting
that comes with running a game and use another device like the shield console
to recapture that output data from the computer receive controller inputs from
you and display out to a screen this allows you to play pretty much whatever
the hell PC game you want as long as your computer can play it but requires
the use of your computer and another device like the shield console and you
must have a strong Network link between them if you don't want to use your other
computer or maybe don't have another computer that can support this you have
the grid option which is essentially where NVIDIA uses their Cloud setup to
act as your computer and honestly it works pretty great but you need to have
a very good connection to support it and it will Chomp through your bandwidth
limit if you have one a connection speed of 5 to 15 megabits per second will get
you 720p 30 FPS and a connection speed
of 15 and above will get you 1080p 60
FPS now game stream is free if you have the hardware for it and the currently
still in beta grid option is a paid service after July 31st 2015 so keep
that in mind as of right now they have about 45 Games available which while it
may sound like a lot is a little lacking in actuality in the future they will be
an option of the grid store where you can buy new games right as they come out
but we're still waiting to see the cost structure Behind these things the io on
the back of the unit is a Micro SD card slot micro USB 2 USB 3.0 ports an
Ethernet Jack HDMI and power speaking of
which you can use those ports to expand your storage with micro SD cards or
external hard drives and you will probably want to do this unless you get
the 500 GB model as the 16 GB model
fills up quite quickly now if you're someone who cares about Aesthetics damn
you're in good hands this thing looks really nice the aggressively angled
panels of mixed black plastic and brushed aluminum looks amazing pretty
much wherever you put it and the subtle green LED lighting looks perfect in my
opinion but can be controlled in the software just in case it isn't really
your thing and it doesn't stop there if you spring for the additional stand you
get treated to pretty much the same with really sharp looking brushed aluminum
all around it which while it makes me a little paranoid about fingerprints it's
mostly okay as it will pretty much just sit there and look nice and you don't
really need to do much with it on the bottom there's one of the stickiest
rubbery surfaces I've ever dealt with which means if you kind of bump bump
into it or accidentally try to put something in the way it's not really
going to move which is kind of nice the remote is a thing of beauty as well but
to be honest it just plain scares the out of me NVIDIA clearly loves
brushed aluminum and like that's cool that's cool I'm happy you guys want to
put quality materials onto your products and I hate hammering on you for it but
God I can't even use the thing I get sweaty hands and the brush aluminum
that's on the back and front of this product would just look like garbage
after while of me using it so I've resorted to using the foam packaging
that it comes in right out of the box if you want to see review of the controller
that comes with it click here to see Linus cover it in The Shield tablet
review that annotation should be timestamped but we're not even
necessarily 100% sure if that even works so if it isn't just jump to 2 minutes
and 45 seconds in conclusion this thing's sick the controller alone is
badass and cost about $60 tack on another 140 and you get a 4K capable
Chromecast essentially without those overheating issues and stuff that people
have been having with them and a surprisingly extremely capable gaming
machine which has the ability to tap into the power of your gaming rig or the
NVIDIA grid which is very awesome should
you rush out and buy one obviously only if it would benefit your setup by adding
this into the ecosystem but I do think that this thing is seriously cool and if
you have the budget for it it could be a great addition now I'm always saying
that mass drop you know the site where you you go and they've got like stuff
and if a lot of people agree to buy it you know the community is like yeah we
want to buy one of those and M drop's like okay we'll try and find one and
then if a bunch of other people are like hey I well I want to buy it too the
price goes down that's how the whole thing works I'm always saying they have
a wide variety of things available lots of keyboards lots of you know monitors
even things like knives well today something that we've never talked about
before the feature dropped today is an AE ap10 HD drone it features a high
voltage battery it actually has a maximum flight time of somewhere in the
neighborhood of 25 minutes it reaches a Max altitude of 500 M although you're
going to want to check your local regulations in case you that's too high
for regulations and can capture both 16
megapixel Stills as well as 1080p High defition video okay lonus that's great
there's a lot of drones that do that what's special about this one well the fact that it's available for $599.99 at
its lowest drop so you guys are going to want to head over to draw upups SL Linus
Tech tips and get all the Deets about
this drop and many more join up at Mass
drop and you'll start spending money I know that doesn't necessarily sound like
a solid pitch for you guys the viewer but it's good because you actually save
money on the like cool gadgetry and neat stuff that they've got over there so
check it out shop around a bit see if you find something I know that I usually
