The unit resembles an Xbox controller, but with a 5-inch fold-able screen attached to the top. This screen displays in 720p, so is pretty decent quality, it’s also a touch screen which is handy.
Since this is a portable device designed for private gaming, it also features a headphone jack so you can plug in and game without disturbing others. However, it does have dual front facing speakers for when this isn’t an issue.
The Shield Portable contains a Nvidia Tegra 4 Processor, with 2GB RAM and 16GB of flash memory. This allows you to stream games, TV shows, movies and music. Similar to the Nvidia Shield Streaming Device, you can also use Gamestream to stream games from your PC direct to your Shield Portable.
