Hello everyone.
I looking for tablet to old pc games, internet, writing and movies. I don't know what will be better. Okey.. Nvidia shield tablet have dedicated games like Doom bfg edition, Half Life and Android Shop but for me it's not enough. Maybe tablet like Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 or Lenovo Yoga with full Windows is better choice? I think that if you have windows and x86 architecture you can download and play pc games. I Don't know if Intel Atom with HD graphics is good how Tegra k1 with kepler GPU.

I think about:
- Nvidia Shield Tablet.
- Windows tablet (like Xiaomi Mi Pad 2) maybe with dedicated keyboard.
- Or used notebook (like Elitebook 2570p or Thinkpad x220).

I don't have too much money (200-250$ usd american dollars)

I'm sorry for my english language ;/.

Bartko.

The GPU in the Shield is more powerful, but you won't have access to the games the PC can give you access to, if you're looking for PC games.

I have a Shield tablet with the controller, its freekin awesome I love it.

That said for what you want an x86 based Windows tablet or a used notebook is far better. In fact for your budget range the notebook is probably the best bang for your buck solution.

I know that Shield Tablet is great. The best is his price! I thought when you have Windows tablet you can easier play pc games than android system. Notebook have better CPU but GPU like hd 4000 is better than nvidia k1 kepler??
