You wouldn’t go pick up a US Marine’s gun and start waving it around like you know what you’re doing with it. Probably best to adopt the same attitude with this menacing piece of gaming machinery.

NVIDIA aren’t messing around with their “Project Shield” handheld gaming device. It runs the world’s fastest mobile processor, the Tegra 4 chip and it’ll let you play with it for 38 hours before tuning your it needs to be plugged in. For those in the know, that’s about long enough for the first leg of a Counter Strike frag-fest.

Obviously it’s a full-HD touch-screen display and it runs everything off Android OS, so it’ll support all your favourite apps. Those with the know-how will have it streaming games from their NVIDIA spec PCs in no time.

Does look a bit bulky though, and gaming nerds aren’t known for their strength.
