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 linus review here or you can see me making a ghetto version of it here they have the shield tablet which you can see linus 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 the like button down below Corsair delivers real neck or nothing with the new strafed mechanical keyboard featuring genuine German made Cherry MX switches click now to learn more the shield Android TV console rocks the beastmode NVIDIA Tegra x1 featuring an 8 core CPU with 4 cortex a 57 cores and 4 cortex a53 cores alongside a 256 Core Maxwell GPU and 3 gigabytes of gddr5 that's computationally 2 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 Crysis 3 Borderlands the pre-sequel telltale games wolf among us and Game of Thrones half-life 2 war thunder which has freaking cross-platform support doom 3 ''and many more natively just by downloading them from the store and while that's 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 tech quickie episode on that coming soon so it's 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 30fps and a connection speed of 15 and above will get you 1080p 60fps now game stream is free if you have the hardware for it and the currently still in beta grit 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 aisle on the back of the unit is a micro SD card slot micro USB to USB 3.0 ports and 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 gigabyte model as the 16 gigabyte 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 ok 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 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 guy can't even use the thing I get sweaty hands and the brushed aluminum that's on the back and front of this product would just look like garbage after a while of me using it so I've resorted to using the foam packaging that 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 time-stamped but we're not even necessarily a hundred percent sure if that even works so if it isn't just jumped 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 Nast Rob you know the site where 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 mash tops like ok we'll try and find one and then if a bunch of other people like hey 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's something that we've never talked about before the feature drop today is an AE EAP 10 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 all to do to 500 meters 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-definition video ok Linus 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 five 99.99 at its lowest drops you guys are gonna want to head over to draw ups slash 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
