So I'm looking really hard a Nvidia Shield K1 tablet.
Problem is I can't find one in stock anywhere, like anywhere.
How comparable is an Asus Zenpad S, with the Intel Atom Z3580 processor and 4G of RAM? ( 64G storage/$259 on amazon)
I think the Shield is what I want but if the Zenpad is a pretty close comparable I might be persuaded that way.
Is there any tablet that compares well to the Nvidia in that price range of $200 ?
thanks

Hi, wanted to know which one you recommend, i already have the tf201 but it have the normal problems like wifi/bt/gps/random boot-loops/browser crashes.
I was offered to replace to the tf300 but declined due to the fact the tf201 is twice more powerful, now i got offered to switch to the tf600 which i just now isn't an android at all and uses windows. is it possible to put android on it? is it more powerful then the tf201 and how stable is it compared to a laptop...
I prefer android myself due to my line of work but if that does all the prime can do and even better just without having android i don't find it to be such a big problem.
Would be happy to hear from people who have tried the tf600, also some info about specs could help i didn't find it in the Asus site it shows some different Vivo types which are much more powerful then the tf600, some say it got a tegra3 processor while others say its the cortex-A9 and others Intel® Atom™ Z2760 Dual-Core. wanted to know maybe it got the prime back plate problem?
P.S
is it possible to add android on this tablet? it got a windows RT on it[the tf600]
Thank You.
I am looking for a tablet for my family member but as there are many models with different features and sometime they overlap each other. Also price is a concern as I have budget of up to $160 (+/- $10).
As I search on net for tablets, lot of Chinese tablet came up with the price around my budget and many less than that. I summed up my search to Ainol tablets including Ainol Venus and Discover. But as I read the reviews regarding both tabs as well as other Ainol tabs, it seem as there is falling trend of quality or maybe they had such experience from having Ainol tablets.
So it would be very helpful if someone guide me in choosing a tablet from Ainol Venus or Discover or maybe better than both within my budget. Also there's another tab, Pipo S3 tablet as it is Dual Core whereas the above tabs are Quad Core. This is the another factor which made me confuse to decide for a tab. Either should I go for Dual Core or Quad Core? Please guide.
Tab with these features would be better:
7 or 8 inch, IPS screen would be plus, 16:9 screen ratio would be better, 1 GB or 2 GB DDRam, 16 GB internal memory, no GSM/3G required, bluetooth would be plus, dual camera (regardless of megapixels), Android 4.1/4.2, HDMI output, OTG port
Thanks in advance.

This was announced about a month ago (Feb 2015) and it looks like it should be a really decent tablet with keyboard dock; apparently it'll have an Atom CPU, only the Windows version gets a core-M CPU ;-(
I've not seen any official date when it'll be available, other than "Spring", and an unofficial price of US$350 with keyboard. The "reviews" say it will be available with 1280x800 display and 1080p as an option, though I suspect it'll only be the windows version which will have a 1080p option. Maybe too there will be a version with 4G/LTE.
In some ways it sounds very much like the Asus Transformer TF303CL, which is sadly not available in the UK, it costs about US$380
If anyone has any concrete information to share, please post it, as I am ready to throw some money at a nice tablet + dock system
thanks!
Still no concrete news as to the launch date.
I am also worried that the Venue 10 pro with Windows will be a much better spec and the Android version slightly crippled ;-(

It'd be nice to get the windows version and put android on it!
I can see myself smacking my head against the table already from saying that.... lol, not.
I'm old school. if it doesn't workout I bring that isht back bricked within return period.
"I dunno" LMFAO
The Venue 10 Windows version has been listed on Dell's site for pre-order for a little while: http://www.dell.com/uk/p/dell-venue-10-pro-5055-tablet/pd and they will start shipping on 2nd April
Good News,
it's now on sale
http://www.dell.com/us/p/dell-venue-10-5050-tablet/pd?ref=PD_OC
the good news is that it doesn't appear to have been crippled, other than offering 16 or 32GB storage, whereas Windows has 32 or 64
Intel® Atom™ Processor Z3735F (2M Cache, up to 1.83 GHz)
Android Lollipop
1Yr Collect and Return warranty
2GB DDR3L-RS
16GB or 32GB option
10.1 inch HD 1280x800 IPS Multitouch Display - the 32GB version has 1920x1200
Twin cameras, 5Mpix back, 1.2Mpix front
Full-size USB
Micro HDMI
Wifi - Broadcom AH691A-2x2 (802.11 a/b/g/n)
BT 4.0
GPS (with LTE)
Proximity (with LTE)
Accelerometer
Gyroscope
e-Compass
Security Cable lock – Noble Lock
I think that the "LTE" in the GPS and proximity specs seem to be an error, as the spec specifically says no mobile broadband.
The spec doesn't say what the battery is, chances are same as the Windows tablet, a 2-cell 32WHr Battery
sadly, still no sign of it being on sale

it's no longer a 404 not found, but it's just a placeholder.
I do have an Nvidia Shield Tablet with Tegra K1 processor, but I'm probably going to sell it because of all the flaws it has.
I'm planning to get a Nexus 9 instead, since it also got a K1 processor, does anyone know if Doom 3 BFG or the other Shield games like Half Life 2 work on it?
An answer would be appreciated

To play, you will need a compatible device, and as of right now, that is just the SHIELD box, or a SHIELD Tablet and SHIELD Controller from NVIDIA.

I don't believe our GPU is compatible.

Reading so much things about Chromebook that I want now test by myself but which one should i buy...Acer R11, Asus flip, HP 14 ...lenovo ?
I'm loosing my mind... Could you help me to choice referring your experiences
Thanks
Asus Chromebook Flip because it has support for Android apps from Google Play Store.
older refurbs can work well
This might not be the direction you wanrt to go, but I liked the acer c720 (refurb).
Successfully ran crouton (trusty( on it (more like "briskly walked" crouton on it).
The version I had could not be reasonably upgraded from 2 GB of RAM.
I found a page about upgrading acer chromebooks, you can find it by searching for "How to upgrade the Acer C7 Chromebook" (i.r. noob, thus no link)
I then found an older c710-2834 (higher clock on previous-gen celeron), swapped in an SSD and added RAM to the spare slot.
I ended up with an ultraportable with 10 GB DDR3 and a 240 GB hard drive that actually runs crouton (occasionally even sprinting), at a very low cost.
The caveat is that the slightly more power-hungry processor along with upgrades trade off some of the battery life that the c720 had.
Whichever way you go, I hope it works out well for you.
Thanks for your answer... Asus chromebook flip is not available in France.... Only amazon us but no azerty keyboard... So the last one Chromebook out in France is Acer r11 with better CPU and same versatility.... Tablet mode, PC mode and one another.... It cost 299€
I don't know if chrome os will be fine for me but I'm searching for something different....I also saw that chrome os could be installed also under a raspberry pi 3.... So may be I could try this os under this device before buying one real Chromebook....
The new way to run android apps in native is interesting

If you have an old laptop sitting around, load CloudReady Chromebook clone software on it. I have a Dell 3010 Chromebox and I have CloudReady loaded on an old Dell 1545 laptop. CloudReady is nearly identical to a Chromebook. At least you can get the feel of a Chromebook before buying one.

The HP Chromebook 11A is a good choice. It has got a great design and a powerful mediatek processor.
Yeah even I was reading about this Chromebook today. Great choice for budget users tbh. If you're still looking for a good chromebook, I'd also suggest the Lenovo Duet Chromebook. Both have fab mediatek chipsets and are under Rs. 26K. The Acer Spin 311 is good too.
