My Nvidia Shield experience has been great. I can basically use it as another computing device: - since it easily mounts external hard drives over the network, I can use it as a NAS for backing up photos from my phone via SMB. - Likewise, the Plex server has made it easy for me to make good use of my huge library of music on my external hard drive. - GameStream is awesome. Streaming games from my PC to my TV is trivial and is much more enjoyable than sitting at my desk. - I don't get the complaints about the interface. It's the perfect level of intuitive for my entire family. TV on, my entertainment system + Shield switches on quickly via CEC, getting to Netflix/Amazon is trivial.
