Is Nvidia Shield any good? (self.nvidia)

We're considering shutting down our media PC for good, as it's aged, noisy and draws a lot of power. We've been googling around and it seems like Nvidia Shield would be a good substitute. However, we mainly seem to get the positive ads or positive reviews about it when we search around, and I would like to get some more "rounded" comments about it.

How does it perform with VPN? Can you stream games from other computers? Does it handle media streaming services well without lag? Is it a time/money sink?

Thank you. I am greatful to you and to this community for the good feedback and advice.

I've put this product on our "to buy when we have spare money around and the time to set this up properly", e.g. family want-but-not-entirely-needy-about-list (or "villhöver" in Swedish).
