The Shield also loads games faster than any other Android device I've yet seen, and swiping through windows and switching between apps happens without delay. The first level of N.O.V.A. 3 loaded in 23 seconds. A record for Android devices.

Wi-Fi performance was fast and consistent, pulling apps down from the Play store as fast as I've seen on some of the fastest tablets. The speakers are incredibly powerful and reach high volume without grating the ears with tinniness.
As for battery life, the system lasted for about 4 hours with Riptide GP 2 left idle, alternating between its attract screen and title screen. This was about an hour more than the Nexus 7 with the same setup, at the same 150 cd/m2 brightness. Look for more comprehensive battery tests soon.

Conclusion
The Shield is a high-quality device with stellar performance, and while most of what it currently offers will first and foremost appeal to hard-core gamers, I'm anxiously awaiting more exciting games to come to the device.
Casual gamers should be satisfied by the cheaper Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HDX, but the hard-core gamers will appreciate the Shield's superior performance and tactile controls.
