A premium spec and finish Android TV Set top box, Inclusion of additional gamer focused content and features, 4K video out of the box, Easy to use UI with access to a vast (paid) media library
Price; if the gaming features are not for you, Limited app catalog on Android TV at this stage, Bandwidth limitations can significantly affect the experience
For me as an Android faithful having an Android TV device is a no brainer, its a window into my Android ecosystem and extension of my Androidy nerdyness. And as a PC gamer choosing the Shield TV was an equally easy choice, but should my mother buy this? S...

The NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV is quite the device with a slew of additional gaming features that really sets it apart from its competitors. Sadly, it's bogged down by Google's too-new, too-cumbersome Android TV ecosystem. With no built-in web browser and a...
Abstract: NVIDIA’s SHIELD series has been expanding at a slow but steady pace since its inception nearly two years ago (yes, it really has been that long). Now the newest iteration is being launched alongside Google’s thoroughly updated Android TV. What was initial...
Deep search functionality is uneven, Gaming features depend on internet
