NVIDIA Shield – from $249.95
There are already a number of streaming devices on the market but the NVIDIA Shield offers a few extras you won’t find on other products specially if you’re as much into gaming as streaming the latest TV shows and movie.
Running the Android operating system, NVIDIA Shield offers everything you’d expect including Netflix and Stan streaming services.
The unit is surprisingly small – slightly larger than a smartphone and comes with a small controller and (if you pay a little more) an impressive gaming controller.
But NVIDIA’s DNA is also evident here so you can also play Android games in comparable quality to a regular (and far more expensive) gaming console.
