So I was waiting for GoogleTV reveal rather than jumping on getting an NVidia Shield... but this was when I mostly had game streaming in mind (Stadia / GeForceNow / XCloud).
But now that it's here, and I think of other things I perhaps COULD do with the device... maybe GoogleTV is not the way to go?
The mobile games that I would actually like to play are likely not available on AndroidTV store, unless perhaps they don't require much power and have controller support? (For Touch-only games, I would need to mirror I assume.)
What other types of handy applications are available when using BT mouse/keyboards? Can you do pretty much everything you want to do? Browsing / online banking / text editing / graphics editing?
Would this be a legit alternative to getting a chromebook perhaps? Connect it to a PC monitor with KB/M and you have a little work space...?
It would be sad if I pay for a GoogleTV and feel I gimped myself by not simply paying about double for a LOT more power/options...
Thanks!
Edit: Double checked... so it's more like $70 CDN vs $200-300 CDN... I think I just answered my own questions... it might not matter. GoogleTV + Chromebook later may make much more sense...
If you want to play those sweet, sweet GameCube games, the Shield TV is the way to go. Besides, its basically a Nintendo Switch, minus one gig of RAM lol
