Do you think we need an update to the NVIDIA Shield? (kbin.social)

For those who own one, it's been a while since the last hardware update to the Shield. Do we need more power or are we good as is? And is it still the best option?

I think we are good as is for now, but there are some things I would like to see in a future iteration. -AV1 support (not much of a problem now as there isn't much content yet) -more internal memory (16GB really isn't all that much considering that movie libraries with with lots of high quality artworks and posters can take up quite some space) -Improvements to the AI upscaler: I think it is quite good as is, but I feel like with the latest advancements in AI and a new processor it could get better than it is right now.

Is there anything else you can think of?

I still think it is the best option (if you disabled ads and the new homescreen). Although I admit that I haven't researched new alternatives, as I am happy with what I have.
