The SHIELD K1 is different than other Android tablets because it runs the GeForce Now PC game streaming service.
It lets you stream full PC games right onto the SHIELD K1. It's like Netflix, but for video games.
The games actually run on NVidia's "super computers" around the world and the game's data is sent to your SHIELD device over the internet.
The SHIELD K1 tablet receives that data and its powerful components turns it into visual graphics that you see on the screen.
Games are streamed in full 1080p resolution and up to 60 frames-per-second, just like a high-performance PC.
Since it plays PC games, you can use a wireless keyboard and mouse, as well as a controller.
The SHIELD K1 even has a mini-HDMI port so you can connect it to your TV and play games like a regular console with the controller.
GeForce Now cost $8 per month, but you get a three months free trial when you buy a new SHIELD K1. It works with the original SHIELD Tablet, the SHIELD Portable, and the SHIELD Android TV.
