Nvidia Shield - Unboxing

2014-07-30
hey everyone this is Jimmy with Jim's reviewer welcome to another unboxing and I just got this in the mail today it's the brand-new Nvidia shield tablet this is the technically not the first machine here you can say with a k1 processor but it's the first directly from Nvidia so let's get right into it here from the box and rotating to the rear here there you go and let's see if we can zoom in a little bit for you I'm gonna fast forward the video for you so that way you guys can get a really good look at what's going on and back here now I didn't get the controller it was not released the same day as the tablets so unfortunately don't have the controller but the tablet is the the bulk of the the unboxing the review here so we'll just start with that so let's open this baby up and I got one tab removed already I didn't do the other tab yet and usually try to remove it ahead of time so that way it makes it a little bit more of a smoother transition in the video but here we go there she goes let's take her out here I said what I'll do I'll do separate videos I'm gonna do benchmarks on this of course after this unboxing video and then of course the review is to follow shortly after I do my tests and whatnot and let me see if there's anything else in the box here just a double check and nothing else from Nvidia alright and let's get to the tablet right away put this to the side here and there you go folks very sleek heavy-duty feeling design actually not the thinnest tablet in the world of course but at this size it does feel so like a slate to be honest with you it feels still pretty good in the hand like said compared to other modern-day tablet I guess you can say and you know when you say that and you say thin tablets you think of course Apple and Samsung this doesn't obviously feel like the lightest in the world but like I said it's a gaming device it's a gaming tablet focused on gaming so it should be pretty beefy but overall it still feels very manageable it's almost it has this very thin bezel on each side here which isn't too bad at all the bezels on the top and the bottom although you have your speakers on the front which is great I love front-facing speakers there's a little bit of a black belt okay I don't know if you can see it in the actual video here and I'm trying to see if I can find it in there I don't think I can you guys can see it but there's a thin little bezel right here that actually extends down so the screen doesn't go all the way up to the speakers there's a little bit of a black space right there the sides are really thin which is cool I like thin bezels some people are okay with the thicker ones and whatnot and this little rotate to the back here for you with a lot of simplicity with the word shield I love this backing I always love the tablets with a little bit of friction on the back here just to keep it you know stable in the hand I like Apple products too you know I don't hate against you know technology and in companies and whatnot that are producing good stuff but I don't like the all aluminum backing and the on the iPads there's a little too slick for me but this has a little bit of texture in there if it was actually pretty good again pretty good in the hands and leave this I got medium size hands this fits perfectly in my hand when you hold it up vertically and horizontally landscape wise that's a nice decent size and let's go around look at the buttons real quick here and what I'll do let me zoom in real quick here and we'll fast forward the video for you all right loads you got your power volume micro SD card slot there's something right here at all it's probably a it doesn't do anything it's not a button per se but I'll see in the Action Man you if there's anything for that not sure what that is it's not it doesn't look like a tab to be removed or so you got your pen that's included in here stylus pen suite and look at that it has it like a little a slight little angled tip to it which is pretty unique I want to see eventually how this how this works is it pretty cool has a little bit of weight to it too pretty impressive and just stick that back in there real quick they get in there too right right whoops so I guess you got to put it definitely in the right direction there you go now it snaps in so that might hopefully that doesn't become a nuisance and it looks like there's yeah there's speakers on both sigh it looks like speakers on either side as well and let me just refocus the image real quick here and there yo guys I hope you guys can see that speaker right there and there's one exactly on the other side but Ashley's not exactly it's actually offset a little bit here it's not perfectly across from each other this one's practically right in the middle this one's a little bit downward on this side right here as you can see but looking a continue looking at the port's here it looks like a input for your three half millimeter headphone you have the micro or mini HDMI connection report and of course a micro SD card slot for you to charge I'm sure or to connect your controller as well and on the back here it has a rear-facing camera let's let me get that in focus a rear-facing camera for you guys and on the very bottom are two more items here like I said I'm not too familiar with this yet so I really don't know what these or some of these items are for but there's two ports here I'm pretty sure it may involve clicking this to a cover for the Nvidia shield but other than that let me see if there's any juice on this thing let me turn it on and show you what the screen may look like let me zoom out all right and let me see if there's any juice left in this thing from the factory and just press the power button hopefully it turns out nice stiff button there you can say there you go I'm gonna get this out of the picture here and we're just waiting for it to load and this is the first boot up you can say hopefully it doesn't take too long but overall the fit and feel it feels really good it feels like a really really solid device it's a little bit thicker obviously then your most premium tablets but again I'm expecting that from a gaming tablet specifically this is for gaming obviously from Nvidia the build quality it feels like is this glass right up to the edge even around the beveled edge here it feels like it's part of the glass as well so it does feel really good in the hands and feels like a very premium premium product but as you can see here goes the screen and this is just you know of course you got to sign in and whatnot but I'll of course you know get into this and start doing the benchmarks for you I'll upload that video sometime hopefully in the near future within the next day or two maybe even tonight who knows but definitely like subscribe and just keep Jim's review room in mind because I'll be putting this out you know in the next week or so of testing and getting mine user experience so hope you guys enjoy it you guys take care this is Jim from Jim's Ruby room you
