I'm impressed by both of my new gadgets.

Nexus 7 is an immense evolution to its predecessor.
More elegant, way more powerful.
Only complaint: I'd like to see a Micro SD expansion or more than 32GB of internal memory.

Nvidia Shield: Wow!
Lots of the "normal" Android games don't support the controller yet.
But I'm mainly into emulators anyway.
And this is really spectacular. There's even a Sony PSP emulator. And it's working great! And there's a Nintendo DS emulator. I haven't tested it yet, but reviews are quite favorable.
The unit itself is a bit bulky, not that mobile. But the performance: A dream!
Some criticise the display only being 720p. But for that small size, I'm more than fine with that resolution. And it's probably one of the reasons for the phantastic performance.
I'm only a casual gamer. But, as you might have recognised by my collection, I'm into hoarding stuff. I'm nostalgic. So I love briefly playing the classics I have played on the original consoles (Sega Genesis aka Mega Drive, Nec PC Engine aka TG16, Commodore Amiga, ...) 20 years ago. Basically I have every single game with me that I've ever owned...
