Anyone get one?

Picked one up yesterday. So far I am enjoying it. The feel of the device is good however it does tend to have some harp feeling edges all around where the screen meets the sides. The quality of the screen is very good however the AUTO brightness could use a bit of tweaking because it tends to run a little dim. The sound quality of the speakers are good. Not super loud, but more than adequate and much better than most any other tablet out there. The performance has been snappy although I am experimenting with a few different browsers for now, I'm chromed out...I like the stylus. I need to calibrate the handwriting feature is possible to improve overall response otherwise I like having the option of having it there. I use the stylus instead of touch input as a nice change of pace. I am also someone who didn't purchase the tablet for its gaming abilities. Its a GREAT extra for me as I mostly wanted a powerful android tablet first. So far so good!

Great to hear! Yes this tablet is still very capable of daily tasks away from gaming. The DirectStylus 2 is a huge improvement over the original found in the Tegra Note.

Thanks for the feedback !

Hoping we see Android L in the next couple of weeks (for the WiFi version, anyhow)!

Its been confirmed by NVIDIA. The SHIELD Tablet will indeed see Android 5.0 soon!

Picked mine up Thursday with the convertible cover, absolutely loving it. I decided to go this route over the nexus 9 when android 5.0 was confirmed by nvidia.

I'm also finding the stylus convenient for navigating and normal action.
No issues with Wifi for me.

Yeah, I have had an issue with WiFi at work too. Probably the exact same network type you describe. Have to Modify network and resave for it to connect, sometimes. Definitely annoying. My LG G3 connects fine but struggles to keep up as I move between access points in the building. But my Nexus 4 and 7 (after some initial issues with Jelly Bean) handled it fine. Don't know what to blame, but not every Android device will encounter the issue.

The new OTA update released yesterday did not solve the issue. Now they want to do an RMA. Should be interesting.

From what I've seen posted, many people have had very good experiences with NVIDIA when it comes to this.

Please keep us up to date.
