hey guys this is Todd Hazleton here with TechnoBuffalo checking out the Nvidia shield tablet your device that was just announced today and it's one of the first with their k1 processors and it's an 8 inch tablet with a 1920 by 1200 pixel display inside you have 2 gigs of RAM either 16 gigs of storage that'll run you at $2.99 or 32 gigs of storage and LTE and that'll run you 399 but let's go through some of the features here up top you've got the HDMI out port in addition to a micro USB charging slot and at 3.5 millimeter headphone jack you can see part of a speaker there but really you're looking at the the huge speakers on the front here on the left and right as I hold it like this and that's also a 5 megapixel camera on the back you have the shield branding another 5 megapixel camera on the left hand side you have nothing but we have this cover on here that'll be an optional accessory and on the right hand side you have if you look closely there it's a micro SD card slot volume buttons and the power button and micro sd supports up to 128 gigs of additional storage there and right there you have the second-generation stylus that slides right into the shield like that ok so now we're looking at a lot of the games that are gonna launch with this or within a few months afterwards half-life portal you already know warthunder is another game that's going to be available anomaly 2 pure chest and the Talos principle let's see if we can get this booted up ok so right now we're checking out a demo here of war thunder I'll show you we'll go over the remove in just a second but we're controlling this right here with the remote control uses Wi-Fi direct and we're playing directly through the tablet which is then using HDMI out to the TV for a full console experience all from the tablet itself and again this game otherwise only runs on consoles and PCs so really impressive that we're getting this kind of performance right from an 8-inch tablet ok so now I'm here with the shield controller and showing you how the whole console experience works here right now we're on the homescreen and I could navigate with it easily just going around bear with me one sec while I hit a and launch that let's bring it up and here we are inside the shield zone again which is replacing a Tegra zone or shield hub rather and replacing tiger zone you get news android games media apps i showed you this earlier but this is sort of like the hub you can have while you're at home and if you want you can also do things that obviously Android allows by holding the home button here I'll bring up Google now launch Netflix and the tablet will launch Netflix right from that because it's using the microphone that's built right into the controller here so pretty awesome technology right there you don't have to get up from the couch and go tap the tablet it salt on right here and again that's because of the Wi-Fi direct connection between the controller and the tablet where you can send voice data back and forth over it so lastly we'll just check out the controller itself I've been using it briefly here in the meeting we see you've got the Nvidia home button there the standard Android controls return home and then the play pause button there's the microphone analog sticks you got the joysticks standard layout very Xbox like microphone jack up top again using Wi-Fi so if you're playing with speakers on the tablet itself and then plug in headphones here it'll turn off the speakers on the tablet and you'll be good to go and then there's also a microUSB charging port you got the triggers and then just some nice contours there that make it really easy to use and then on the bottom plus some volume controls for up and down right there so really nice controller and this will be sold as a separate accessory and then last we'll just look at the tablet one more time with it's the tablet there and we'll see the whole family so really nice again launching for $2.99 to start with 16 gigs of storage or 399 with 32 gigs and you can expand that and then it also has LTE on the higher-end model with bands that support AT&T and t-mobile but no official partnerships announced just yet in a case that is a look here at the shield tablet from Nvidia this is Todd Hazleton with TechnoBuffalo thank you guys for watching if you haven't yet please subscribe would be the first one to know and every upload new content we've got new stuff coming every single day we want to make sure you see what's new in the world of consumer electronics
