In recent years multimedia consumption and delivery has changed considerably. Before, we were locked to rigid TV schedules and limited-time showings in cinemas. Now, we watch whatever, whenever, wherever we want. But as these revolutionary changes have occurred TV networks and channels have been slow to adapt, forcing vast numbers online for on-demand access, cross-platform viewing, offline archives, and ultra high-quality 4K streams.

Many devices have attempted to make the acquisition, storage and playback of this content seamless and fuss-free, but to date none have offered the features and flexibility that consumers demand. That changes today with the launch of SHIELD. Built on Android TV and powered by Tegra X1, it is the most powerful smart TV platform ever built.

Whether you want to stream Netflix’s hit TV shows and movies in 4K with surround sound, watch 4K YouTube videos, watch next-gen 10-bit color video, stream your library of movies with Plex, cord cut with live Sling TV, use Google Cast to mirror your mobile device onto your TV, or play PC-quality games, SHIELD can do it all, and much more.

Over 500 apps and games already supported on SHIELD Android TV, including app favorites like Netflix, YouTube, HBO NOW, HULU Plus, Sling TV, Google Play Movies, Fox Sports Go, Crackle, PLEX, CinemaNow, Pandora, VEVO, HGTV Watch, PBS Kids, Food Network, Travel Channel, NBA Gametime, MLB.TV, and Red Bull TV. More apps are added every week, and at this week’s Google I/O conference a new wave of apps were announced. With so many to choose from, it’s a safe bet that what you want can be found with ease on SHIELD.

Powered by Tegra X1, our latest and most advanced mobile processor, SHIELD is up to thirty times faster than competing multimedia devices, enabling it to process video and load apps in an instant, transition from menu to menu without delay, and stream 4K Ultra HD content with ease.

I should get one and take the components out and make a custom laptop out of it. Would be badass. Load Windows on it and then you've got a decent gaming PC.

I'm in the market for something like this, but it seems a bit pricey. I wish the controller were separate to bring down the price. Looks good otherwise.
