G+_Ken H Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I think after reading this: http://www.computerworld.com/article/2825945/nexus-6-nexus-9.html that I made up my mind but I wanted to put this out to the AAA fans (and hosts if they want to weigh in on this). I'm looking at the specs and pricing of both of these awesome tablets (along with the cases they come with and the game controllers) and I'm thinking I'm leaning towards the 16GB Shield over the 16GB N9. I know the N9 is the new hot item today but given how much the Shield gives you for a total cost of only $400 for all 3 (tab, cover, & controller) I think someone here would have to give me very good reasons to spend $400 on the tab alone if I went with the N9 (knowing I want it for gaming and even though the Nexus Player controller is $40 we don't know the cost of the keyboard case yet for the N9). Also, I'm gleaning from this site that the Nvidia controller will be better but not enough is known yet about the Nexus Player controller yet: http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/07/29/nvidia-shield-tablet-review-its-hard-to-overstate-my-satisfaction/ Discuss & vote please Oh and thanks for the great write up JR Raphael & Cameron Summerson Edit: Sheild should be Shield on the poll, crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Joseph Cappellino Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 My only concern with the NVIDIA Shield would be OS updates. That's worth the boost in price...for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Paul Werner Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 True but given the update track record of the Shield Portable I would think they'd keep it current? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Pradyumn Vij Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 You also have to keep in mind if you can game on a tablet, you will likely have enough room for a laptop or more ideally a desktop especially if using a controller. This is why I'm still not sold on owning a tablet, I'm fine with a good phone, desktop and laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Paul Werner Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Yeah I got the gaming PC and some consoles I game on too. I just like being able to try out the Android games I've seen too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Paul Werner Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Just a bit more about the Sheild: http://goo.gl/ozR5T5 Looks like updates shouldn't be an issue Joseph Cappellino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
