New Nvidia Shield TV Pro and dongle available at Best Buy before release, here are the SKUs to ask for


The Nvidia Shield TV is one of the most beloved Android TV devices thanks to a capable processor and stellar software support and updates. Its successors, the Nvidia Shield TV Pro and a TV dongle simply named "Nvidia Shield TV," have already leaked substantially, and now they're available for purchase at Best Buy before their official release.
According to an anonymous tipster, the devices are supposed to go on display as of the 27th or 28th of October, but if you know which SKUs (stock keeping units) to ask for, you might be able to snag them up before their official launch date. To get the Pro right now, ask for the 6370425 SKU, and if you're interested in the dongle, ask if the 6370422 in stock. Since a few employees probably know that they're not supposed to sell them yet, your mileage may vary. Still, some people have already been able to buy the devices, as a report on Reddit and an article from Liliputing suggest.
Thanks to the image of Best Buy's inventory above and our tipster's word, we can also confirm the previously leaked prices. The Shield TV Pro will go for $200 while the dongle will cost you $150. Don't be fooled by the "Pickup on 10/29/19" at the bottom, though. Our source says that they've asked about the release date and got October 27 as the answer, so if you don't want to jump the gun early, you won't have to wait long for official availability.
Other than that, we already know almost everything about the devices from previous leaks. The Shield Pro looks mostly identical to existing models. A Tegra X1+ chip and support for Dolby Vision HDR are the most outstanding upgrades. The dongle is simply called "Shield TV" and comes with a USB-C port that lets you increase its meager 8GB of internal storage. It features Tegra X+ cores for upscaling alongside a Tegra Z1+ chip for general performance. Both devices will likely come with the same new triangular remote.
New remote seems to work with older Shields
According to Redditors who've already purchased the Shield TV Pro or the dongle, the new remote also works with older Shields. Hopefully, Nvidia is looking into selling it standalone, so owners of last-gen devices can also enjoy it.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

Our favorite iOS apps for the iPhone and iPad in 2018

As 2018 comes to a close, it’s time to look at some our favorite apps of the year. While not all of these are brand new, many of them popped up onto our radar for the first time in 2018, and are definitely worth the attention. Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention. As always, we’d encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments below, or on Facebook. Enlight Pixaloop (Free Pixaloop  is one of my favorite apps on the market.
