http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/08/shieldifixit619pxhedimg.jpg (http://www.engadget.com/2013/08/01/nvidia-shield-teardown/)The folks at iFixit are braver souls than us, taking on NVIDIA's tank-like new gaming handheld, the Shield (http://www.engadget.com/tag/nvidiashield), in a teardown. Shield's cavernous shell houses a mess of multicolored parts, and hilariously reveals its Batman mask-esque properties when freed of said parts. Though it certainly doesn't look like an easy process, the repair site offers a six out of 10 rating; it specifically cites the battery and screen as being tricky to replace.
NVIDIA's Shield was a big surprise (http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/07/nvidia-project-shield-tegra-4/) at this year's Consumer Electronics Show -- CEO Jen-Hsun Huang showed up with the device on-stage during his company's press briefing, where he used it to demonstrate the just unveiled Tegra 4 processor (http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/06/nvidia-tegra-4-official/). We finally got our hands on the final retail version earlier this month and you can find the full review right here (http://www.engadget.com/2013/07/31/nvidia-shield-review/). Consumers can also finally purchase the $300 handheld (http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/20/nvidia-shield-300-june-27/) as of yesterday.
