From the article: "It's also "free" (as in freedom) software, which reduces the chance for it to be backdoored."

"Free" software doesn't mean it's guaranteed to be free of any problems/backdoors. If you think "free" is always free of issues, you should tell that to the Trojans!

The Nvidia Tegra X1 has already been used in the Android TV-based Shield Console and theShield Portable.

Are you sure???? I haven't heard of a Portable X1.

There is no Portable X1 and not tablet X1 either.

Could be interesting, but what's the price and other specs is the real mystery it defiantly appears roomier than Shield Console too so could even be clocked slightly higher. I'm guessing it's going to be in $200-$300 range with as good or maybe slightly better specs to it.
