the jazz mini is a beautiful and compact aluminum stand for your smartphone that even holds tablets up to eight inches click now to learn more the Tegra note 7 is the second fruit born of invidious ongoing strategy of well no one else is going to recognize the greatness of our processors then damnit we're just going to build the finished products ourselves then it is the second handheld device to use in videos latest in greenest Tegra 4 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-inch 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 1280 by 800 16 by 10 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 LTE one is available only model weighs 320 grams features a quad core 1.8 gigahertz Tegra 4 processor with GeForce graphics and comes with 1 gig of ram single stream 2.4 gigahertz Wireless N and Bluetooth 4.0 and a 15 watt hour battery that delivers adequate but uninspiring 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 a Nexus device and comes with invidious 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 five 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 microSD slot a definite plus since the tablet itself is only available on a 16 gig configuration and on the left side we've got a lock button head phone 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 torso what didn't video 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 flair that Nvidia does so well next up is the front-facing speakers having grown accustomed to an HTC One over the last year so I find side-mounted or heaven forbid rear mounted 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 I'll be it at a much higher price but rather an unusual implementation that offloads touch controller processing to the low power fifth core present on all Tegra 4 SOC s this allows this relatively low-cost tablet 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 note-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 Haggar fours make it fast ok not quite as fast as the one in shield with its active cooling mind you but nothing we haven't seen before 7-inch 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 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 monstered my Dollar Shave Club what are you doing um that how to shave it's well it's kind of like I'd had a basic party no no that's not this is that that's this disgusting and you have blood on your hands that actually blood either way you're gonna 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 won'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 uh yeah Dollar Shave Club saves you time and saves you money for less than the price of conventional shaving gear you can join the club and have high-quality razors 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 and have useless features that you don't need like vibrating handles nope instead of gimmick gimmicks like promising to have bears shipping your package from a party warehouse Dollar Shave Club focuses on delivering high-quality 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 mirror for the but wait I came up with that idea myself anyway the point is dollarshaveclub.com / - 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 Linus said I have not used a tablet before when I first got my hands on this tablet my first reaction was this is too small and binky why would I care over a phone spoiler alert that wasn't necessarily the case but look 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 at 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 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 lack 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 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 touchscreen joysticks so that brought the shield up to a point why don't 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 the 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 it into console mode and pull you into your TV you want to be able to do any of that kind of stuff awesome great if you want to be able to push games from your computer to the shield and play them embed or whatever awesome experience that's great the problem I have with a shield is it's not as well rounded as the tablet you're not gonna want to send emails on it feels like you're punching your name into a game they haven't played before for the same file and it's super frustrating because your names really long and you have to find the words 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 alright guys if you made it pass Linus's Dollar Shave Club integration and God here thank you for watching thank you for sticking with us I know that may have
