After using Nvidia Shield for a year along with pure android boxes, I would agree with your assessment. It is hard to argue with the quality of this device and it’s hardware. However, there are 3 big things about Nvidia Shield I don’t like. 1) The minimal 16 GB of internal storage sucks, especially on a box that costs $180. Adding an external flash drive isn’t a great solution either as download speeds are noticeably slower. 2) I think that pure android OS is much better than TV Android from the standpoint of easier customization and app selection. 3) The remote control is a disappointment in terms of functionality and battery life. A box this expensive should come with a full featured air mouse remote and rechargeable battery.

I want an informed opinion on the Nvidis Sheild 2019 version.
Alibaba has them $30.
Looks real. I am not sure how ot stacks up to one of my boxes.
They are ONN 4K Pro cm, ONN 4 K, Firestick 4K Pro. X95
Any thoughts?
Honestly, I would be suspicious of getting an Nvidia Shield from China. Something just doesn’t sound right.

Shield is much better than those imho. The onn 4k pro for the price is a nice device but to me the shield is still the cadillac of streaming. But like JerryJ I would be very skeptical of them being legit for $30.
