NVIDIA Shield Portable

In our ICT173 groupings, each group was assigned to report 2 topics. The first topic was provided with our teacher which will be the Presentation 1 and the second topic should be about a gadget or technology that is not familiar to the public and it will be the Presentation 2.

The Group 1 already had their Presentation 1 last week. So last Monday, December 15, 2014, they reported their Presentation 2 about the NVIDIA Shield Portable. Even though I am not into gadgets, it still amazes me that I have never heard this gadget before. Well, maybe because this gadget is for gamers, and obviously, I am not a gamer.

But to let you know about this gadget, I have researched some of the information about it…
