You’ll have a hard time finding a better slate for $200, \u00a3170 or roughly AU$260.<\/b>
The Nvidia Shield Tablet K1, which no longer comes with a stylus. Folio cover, controller and power adapter also sold seperately.
I wouldn’t blame you for forgetting all about the Nvidia Shield Tablet, especially after Nvidia had to recall practically every single slate when they became a fire hazard two years ago.
But the tablet’s successor, the Nvidia Shield Tablet K1, could be a fantastic deal at $200\/\u00a3170\/roughly AU$260. Particularly because the inexpensive slate can now be updated to Android 7.0 Nougat, the latest version of Google’s operating system.
Here’s the full list of features that Nougat brings to the Shield Tablet, according to Nvidia:
Note that compared to the original Shield Tablet, the Shield Tablet K1 doesn’t come with a stylus, a slot for a stylus to fit inside if you buy one separately, or even a power adapter and cable.

It’s also got a somewhat slower, older Tegra K1 chip compared to the Tegra X1 in Nvidia’s excellent Shield Android TV — though both can connect to a television, pair with Nvidia’s Shield controller, and remotely play games from either an Nvidia-powered computer on your home network or Nvidia’s soon-to-be-revamped GeForce Now streaming game service.
Nvidia’s actually been selling the Shield Tablet K1 since November 2015 .<\/p>\n
