Tablet Thoughts :: Nvidia Shield - Do we have a winner?

So the next generation "Tegra Note" has hit the shelves in the form of an Nvidia branded Shield Tablet (See my thoughts on the Tegra Note). With this iteration Nvidia is holding all the cards and not partnering with vendors to produce units, but rather producing them themselves. Personally I think that's a smart move on their part as this allows them to control their take on the Android OS (Whatever tweaks they make) and also the Hardware.

Specs:

Processor	NVIDIA® Tegra® K1 192 core Kepler GPU, 2.2 GHz ARM Cortex A15 CPU with 2GB RAM
Display	8-inch 1920x1200 multi-touch Full HD display
Audio	Front facing stereo speakers, dual bass reflex port with built-in microphone
Storage	32 GB (WiFi+4G LTE) / 16 GB (WiFi-only) w/ MicroSD slot

Accessories:
Stylus
Gamepad/Controller
Cover (Magnetic)

Biggest plus on this thing are the CPU and front facing speakers. The speakers even add base reflex system. Lets just say that I can't wait till the local shops have some stock cause upgrading to this from my original Galaxy Tab 10.1 is gonna be a blast. Couple this tablet with the GTX 980 which should be released soon (hopefully sooner than later cause my GTX 580 is getting tired) and you've got more gaming then you can shake a console at.

Looking forward to playing with this and if I'm not too busy having fun I may stop back in here and provide an update. ;o)
