Would you guys like to see a review of the Nvidia Shield Tablet?

Rekx

So im kind a considering if i should make a in-depth review of my newly acquired Shield tablet. This would come from a new tablet user perspective, actually this is my first tablet. No its not the first time i have tried one but it's my first tablet which i own myself. 

 

From my past week of using the device i think the review would be more about the software than hardware. For me software is especially important for a device like Shield Tablet.

I guess. It would be kinda fun to know more about it since I'm hopefully getting a 970 for xmas.

I'm just hoping I don't have the same weird issues I had with my evga gtx 660 before I stopped using HDMI and started using one of the DVI ports and on motherboard audio. Occasional audio static accompanied by video and game playback slowdown, required a restart to fix.

Well, that depends on what you think is a bad review.

Sure. I was tempted to pick up the portable when I bought my 780 but didn't.

The announcement of the tablet got me pretty excited but wasn't sure about the streaming quality.

A good review would be appreciated.
