Yeah if you can't wait a shield tablet is a nice option instead, will be on par performance wise to anything the new nexus tablet considering they'll have pretty much the same specs.

I would wait for the Nexus 9 or get the shield tablet.

I've heard of the Shield Tablet having cracked edges, and that it works better upside down (Nvidia might have put the screen on backwards).

Nexus 9 or Shield Tablet. Nexus 9 if you can wait or Shield Tablet if you want the Gamestream features that GFE offers.

Yeah, no.  The 3 button setup they have going might be alright on phones, but it's a total failure in design for tablets.

I got used to it though :P

I prefer physical keypads more compared to on-screen alternatives. 

I just don't get that satisfying click with anything else.

Also, the hardware in most Samsung flagships are pretty decent.

Doesn't it also have a finger scanner?
