 Nvidia has quite the lineup of Shield products now. They have the Shield Portable, which is kind of the all-encompassing handheld version, which you can see Linus review here, or you can see me making a ghetto version of it here. They have the Shield Tablet, which you can see Linus review up here, or finally they have the Shield Console, which you can see by doing nothing. If you want to see a video on the ZOTAC Hybrid Cooled Arctic Storm, gently caress the like button down below. Corsair delivers real mech or nothing with their new Strafe mechanical keyboard featuring genuine German-made Cherry MX switches. Click now to learn more. The Shield Android TV console rocks the beast mode Nvidia Tegra X1, featuring an 8-core CPU with 4 Cortex A57 cores and 4 Cortex A53 cores, alongside a 256-core Maxwell GPU and 3GB of GDDR4 RAM. That's computationally 2 times as powerful as an Xbox 360 and 6 times the RAM at considerably less power draw. Meaning it's the first device to run Android TV in 4K, and you can play stuff like Crisis 3, Borderlands the pre-sequel, Telltale Games' Wolf Among Us, and Game of Thrones, Half-Life 2, War Thunder, which has freaking cross-platform support, Doom 3, and many more, natively, just by downloading them from the store. And while that's awesome, and it plays all these things impressively, I didn't see things like Witcher 3 or even Hearthstone on there for that matter. So what are your other options? Well, right off the bat, you have Game Stream. This being a PC-centric channel, I suspect that most of you will be able to start Game Stream almost immediately if you have an Nvidia GPU. What exactly is Game Stream? Well, Linus should have a Tech Quickie episode on that coming soon, so stay tuned for that. But for now, basically, you can use the power of your Nvidia GPU-equipped computer to do all the heavy lifting that comes with running a game, and use another device like the Shield Console to recapture that output data from the computer, receive controller inputs from you, and display out to a screen. This allows you to play pretty much whatever the hell PC game you want, as long as your computer can play it, but requires the use of your computer and another device like the Shield Console, and you must have a strong network link between them. If you don't want to use your other computer, or maybe don't have another computer that can support this, you have the Grid option, which is essentially where Nvidia uses their cloud setup to act as your computer. And honestly, it works pretty great, but you need to have a very good connection to support it, and it will chomp through your bandwidth limit if you have one. A connection speed of 5 to 15 megabits per second will get you 720p 30fps, and a connection speed of 15 and above will get you 1080p 60fps. Now, Game Stream is free if you have the hardware for it, and the currently still in beta Grid option is a paid service after July 31st, 2015, so keep that in mind. As of right now, they have about 45 games available, which, while it may sound like a lot, is a little lacking in actuality. In the future, they will be an option of the Grid Store, where you can buy new games right as they come out, but we're still waiting to see the cost structure behind these things. The I.O. on the back of the unit is a microSD card slot, microUSB, two USB 3.0 ports, an Ethernet jack, HDMI, and power. Speaking of which, you can use those ports to expand your storage with microSD cards or external hard drives, and you will probably want to do this unless you get the 500GB model, as the 16GB model fills up quite quickly. Now, if you're someone who cares about aesthetics, damn, you're in good hands. This thing looks really nice. The aggressively angled panels of mixed black plastic and brushed aluminum looks amazing, pretty much wherever you put it, and the subtle green LED lighting looks perfect, in my opinion, but can be controlled in the software, just in case it isn't really your thing. And it doesn't stop there. If you spring for the additional stand, you get treated to pretty much the same, with really sharp-looking brushed aluminum all around it, which, while it makes me a little paranoid about fingerprints, it's mostly okay, as it will pretty much just sit there and look nice, and you don't really need to do much with it. On the bottom, there's one of the stickiest rubbery surfaces I've ever dealt with, which means if you kind of bump into it, or accidentally try to put something in the way, it's not really gonna move, which is kind of nice. The remote is a thing of beauty as well, but to be honest, it just plain scares the sh** out of me. Nvidia clearly loves brushed aluminum, and like, that's cool, that's cool. I'm happy you guys want to put quality materials onto your products, and I hate hammering on you for it, but I can't even use the thing. I get sweaty hands, and the brushed aluminum that's on the back and front of this product would just look like garbage after a while of me using it. So, I've resorted to using the foam packaging that it comes in right out of the box. If you want to see a review of the controller that comes with it, click here to see Linus cover it in the Shield tablet review. That annotation should be time stamped, but we're not even necessarily 100% sure if that even works, so if it isn't, just jump to 2 minutes and 45 seconds. In conclusion, this thing's sick. The controller alone is badass and costs about $60. You just tack on another $140, and you get a 4K-capable Chromecast, essentially, without those overheating issues and stuff that people have been having with them, and a surprisingly extremely capable gaming machine, which has the ability to tap into the power of your gaming rig, or the Nvidia grid, which is very awesome. Should you rush out and buy one? Obviously only if it would benefit your setup by adding this into the ecosystem, but I do think that this thing is seriously cool, and if you have the budget for it, it could be a great addition. Now, I'm always saying that Massdrop, you know the site where you go and they've got like stuff, and if a lot of people agree to buy it, you know, the community's like, yeah, we want to buy one of those, and Massdrop's like, okay, we'll try and find one, and then if a bunch of other people are like, hey, well, I want to buy it too, the price goes down, that's how the whole thing works. I'm always saying they have a wide variety of things available, lots of keyboards, lots of, you know, monitors, even things like knives. Well, today's something that we've never talked about before, the feature drop today is an AEE AP10 HD drone. It features a high voltage battery, it actually has a maximum flight time of somewhere in the neighborhood of 25 minutes, it reaches a max altitude of 500 meters, although you're going to want to check your local regulations in case you that's too high for regulations, and can capture both 16 megapixel stills as well as 1080p high definition video. Okay Linus, that's great, there's a lot of drones that do that, what's special about this one? Well, the fact that it's available for $599.99 at its lowest drop, so you guys are going to want to head over to drawdups. slash Linus Tech Tips and get all the deets about this drop and many more. Join up at Massdrop and you'll start spending money. I know that doesn't necessarily sound like a solid pitch for you guys, the viewer, but it's good because you actually save money on the like cool gadgetry and neat stuff that they've got over there. So check it out, shop around a bit, see if you find something I know that I usually do.
