From PC World: Nvidia is staying in the tablet market after being hit with a recall of its Shield Tablet, relaunching the device under a new name and at a lower price.
The new Shield Tablet K1 is targeted at gamers and priced at $199 with 16GB of storage —$100 less than the original Shield Tablet.
The original Shield Tablet was recalled in late July for posing a fire hazard due to overheating batteries, and the product was out of stock on Nvidia’s website shortly after. The K1 was launched in response to consumer demand for Shield tablets, said Richard Parry, director of product management for tablets at the company.
There are minor changes to the new K1 tablet, compared to the original Shield Tablet. The K1 has silicon grips that will make it easier to hold. It also has a new battery, and the LTE option isn’t available.
