NVIDIA SHIELD officially announced, starting at $299

After last week's leak revealing virtually everything about the tablet, NVIDIA has now taken the wraps off their powerful NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet, builds on last year's protble tablet by NVIDIA, adopting many of its features such as Gamestream technology.                                                                                                     

The tablet features an 8' FULL HD IPS Display, and it comes with NVIDIA's Stylus, the DirectStylus 2, which except for controlling the tablet allows to write with precision thanks to its 1.5 mm point, and can write with one end and erase with the other.

Shield wouldn't be a gaming tablet without a fitting processor, and the Tegra K1 is one of the strongest in the world, clocked at 2.2 GHz and sporting an enormous 192-core GPU.

SHIELD wireless controller allows you to pair the controller with the tablet over Wi-Fi Direct, and is a fully-featured controller with a full D-Pad, joysticks, volume controller and dedicated buttons for app transition.

Two dual front speakers should deliver a good audio experience, and the tablet also has over 400 apps optimized for this tablet-gaming-console breed, and its clear NVIDIA is all out on the gaming experience with this one.

As far as pricing goes, 16 GB/Wi-Fi NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet will cost $299, the 32GB/LTE version will cost $399, and the wireless controller costs $59. If you're interested in last year's SHIELD Portable, the price went down to only $199.
