Thread: Urmasul lui nVidia Shield este o... tableta!

    Urmasul lui nVidia Shield este o... tableta!

    Hmm, am impresia ca inginerii de la nVidia mi-au auzit doleantele legate de faptul ca mi-e din ce in ce mai greu sa ma joc pe console portabile cu diagonale atat de mici (deh, batranetile astea), si au decis ca urmasul lui Shield sa fie o tableta. Aceasta va purta cel mai probabil numele de Shield Tablet si a aparut in listing-urile de la GFC (Global Certification Forum), alaturi de diagramele unui controller. Intr-un interviu acordat de catre CEO nVidia (Jen-Hsun Huang), acesta ne spune ca noul model s-ar putea sa apara pe piata mai repede decat ne asteptam (nu se astepta nimeni ca urmasul sa fie o tableta, dar in fine).

    Probabil va intrebati de ce vor merge pe o tableta si nu pe clasicul standard de "consola portabila"? Well, voi incerca eu sa raspund: in primul rand, datorita diagonalei mai mari. In al doilea rand, datorita faptului ca se poate instala o baterie mai puternica si partea termica se rezolva mai usor (in special cu un body din aluminiu). In al treilea rand, mie unul niciodata nu mi s-a parut un nVidia Shield ca fiind "pocketable", prin urmare necesita oricum sa fie transportata intr-o geanta/rucsac - acelasi lucru valabil si pt. tableta. In al patrulea rand, pe un presupus 7.9" vom putea avea o rezolutie minima de 2048 x 1536, mult peste cat putea oferi "vechiul" Shield.

    Ramane de vazut exact ce specificatii va avea, insa eu unul sunt aproape sigur ca inima noului Shield Tablet va fi Tegra K1, despre care am tot vorbit.

    Nu ca shield-ul original s-ar fi vindut ca painea calda, dar are ceva aparte. Daca urmasul este o tableta, well, va fi doar inca o tableta cu android. Ma indoiesc totusi ca partea termica se rezolva mai usor in tableta, tinind cont ca shield-ul actual are racire activa si se incinge binisor chiar si asa. In fine, sa-l asteptam sa apara, momentan nvidia n-a anuntat nimic.

    Si drive-testul cu tableta nVidia K1 facut de Engadget : NVIDIA's new Shield is a tablet built for gaming
    In January 2013, NVIDIA unveiled its first end-to-end consumer product: NVIDIA Shield. In our review, I wrote, "NVIDIA Shield is a truly strange device" One year later, that statement stands -- only now it applies to NVIDIA's second consumer product as well: the Shield tablet. Okay, okay, Shield Tablet isn't quite as bizarre as the original Shield, but it's a close second.

    Shield Tablet dumps the original Shield's 5-inch screen in favor of a bigger 8-inch, 1080p display, swaps the original Tegra 4 in favor of K1, and drops the controller bit entirely. Should you wish to pair a controller with Shield Tablet -- and NVIDIA thinks you should -- NVIDIA's making one (it's even got WiFi Direct for lower latency than Bluetooth), but it's totally optional and doesn't come packed in with the tablet. So, what is this thing? Who is it for? And is it any good? Let's find out.

    NVIDIA Shield Tablet and Gamepad

    See all photos15 Photos
    Here's NVIDIA's logic: just like automakers originally started with a few base model sedans and eventually diversified into trucks, vans, coupes and much more, so NVIDIA sees the tablet market. The Shield Tablet is the so-called "ultimate tablet for gamers," in that it has a powerful processor (K1), runs NVIDIA's GameStream tech (which streams full PC games to the tablet), it can stream out to Twitch (on a system level, no app required) and it has WiFi Direct for ultra low-latency wireless gamepad connectivity. It also runs Android and does all the normal stuff you'd expect from an Android tablet. But that's not the point of the device.

    Let's be clear up front: we find some of Shield Tablet's suggested use cases -- pairing the tablet with a stand and playing with a controller in public -- to be off-base at best. Who is doing that? Are there people using wireless gamepads with their laptops in coffee shops? If you're one of those people, stop it.

    But what about, say, using the tablet in your house via HDMI-out? That seems a bit more reasonable. If nothing else, Shield Tablet could act as the streaming component of your gaming PC, living in your living room as a conduit for playing PC games on the big screen. An expensive conduit, no doubt, but it makes a heck of a lot more sense to us than pairing a tablet with a controller and playing games at the local Starbucks.

    IMPRESSIONS -- TABLET

    The Shield Tablet is a nice piece of electronics: it's well-built and sturdy, it has a slick design, it's got nice angles, it's got a sharp screen, and it's a good size at just over 8-inches. It's a bit on the thick side, but that's a measure of Shield Tablet running a cutting edge mobile chip and needing more battery power. We're not talking Microsoft Surface levels of thickness -- let's not get crazy -- but it's thicker than an iPad Mini, for instance.

    Speaking of the Surface, there's a stylus included in the Shield Tablet package (dubbed "Directstylus 2"). While there are certainly applications for the stylus in terms of the tablet's uses as a tablet, there are no gaming applications that use it. NVIDIA's including a program called "Dabbler" for drawing images; we're gonna go ahead and guess that the folks buying a gaming tablet will never use this functionality, but hopefully we're wrong. It's not that Dabbler isn't neat -- it's totally fine, and hey, drawing is fun! -- it's that it's incongruous with the rest of the package.

    SPECS:

    NVIDIA Tegra K1 SoC
    8-inch "Full HD" screen (1920 x 1200, IPS LCD display)
    Front-facing stereo speakers (think: HTC One)
    5MP front-and-rear facing cameras
    Directstylus 2
    16/32GB of internal storage, expandable to 128GB via microSD
    WiFI a/b/g/n, Optional LTE
    19.75 Watt hour Lithium Ion battery
    But what about gaming? Like the original Shield before it, gaming on Shield Tablet is a smooth, easy experience. While Android games continue to lack control standardization and therefore lack predictability in how they'll function on a paired gamepad, PC games continue to both look and feel great. We (briefly) tried out a demo of Grid 2 and had no issue... turning the in-game car sideways and driving directly into a wall. But the controls were responsive! We're just bad at rally racing.

    We were also shown an update to NVIDIA's "TegraZone" software, which is transforming into the "NVIDIA Shield Hub" (the update will also be pushed to the original Shield). This takes your Android games, PC games, cloud streaming games, and media options, and puts them all in one place. While it's a necessary step for Shield given how it's intended for use at home, it's a halfstep on the way toward a real console UI. Anyone with a game console used for media knows the plight of the accidental controller input: you put down your PlayStation controller after selecting the latest episode of Orange is the New Black, a trigger accidentally gets pushed, and suddenly you're halfway through an episode, fumbling to get back to the start. Such is the case with Shield Tablet: you have to use a paired gamepad to control it, even for media playback, when in "console mode." Not a huge issue, but a step below what other devices offer.

    IMPRESSIONS -- GAMEPAD

    You remember the gamepad that was built into the first Shield? It's broken away from the trappings of the portable Shield and is its own device now. When we say it's very similar to the first Shield's gamepad, we mean "nigh identical." With the exception of the buttons in the middle -- the Android control buttons, a new NVIDIA button, volume controls and a touchpad -- the controller feels very similar.

    One major, hugely important difference is analog stick placement. Since there's no screen sitting on top of them, the analog sticks were heightened, making it a much more comfortable experience. It's not a bad controller. It's not a great controller. But considering that it uses WiFi Direct in place of Bluetooth, we're inclined to suggest the Shield Gamepad over other options. But know that it feels a little undercooked.

    Cine vrea sa se joace pe tableta isi cumpara ipad, cel putin are jocuri gramada si multe dintre ele chiar mega faine.

    Mda, si pe mine m-a dezamagit un picut cu gamepadul si tableta are niste margini cam mari... insa in rest nu am ce sa-i reprosez. Anyway, am primit un comunicat oficial si voi face o noua stire... Discutam acolo, pt. ca aici deja e altceva: http://www.consolegames.ro/forum/f7-...pentru-gameri/.
