Got one for my daughter this past Christmas to replace her aging ASUS MeMO Pad 7. For the price, it's quite nice -- and is a later version, so no exploding battery.
Beyond specs, the different OS versions attributed to the increase in performance too. I noticed this as I just went to a Samsung GRAND Prime from a Samsung Avant. Pretty much the same specs, but the former runs Android 5.1 while the latter was stuck at 4.4. I wasn't expecting such a night and day different. Just something to think about when moving up to new devices - the OS matters quite a bit. It also saved some dollars since the Shield is $200 and the other tablet I was considering (Samsung Tab 8) was $350.
And... first thread in the new forum!
