Yeah 1080p resolution would only draw more power and you wouldn’t really see the “BIG” difference in 720p compared to 1080p on that small screen.
On the other hand it’s just another android gaming console,just this is handheld

Disappointed in the fact that there is a 720p screen, but from what I’m reading, they are probably aiming to produce a more budget based tablet or whatever form or shape it may be. Anyway, the only major ‘selling’ aspect of the NVIDIA Shield for me was the PC game streaming ability, as It was a quite interesting concept and worked surprisingly well, even through a wireless configuration. Let’s see what ASUS have to compete with that (that is if they have their sights to specifically compete against the NVIDIA Shield as this article infers)…

And it will fail. No one gives a crap. The Shield is already a niche product AND it has it’s name made. Also, if this doesn’t support game streaming, it has a negative percent chance of making an impact. If it’s just for simple android gaming, get a Nexus 7, 10x the functionality and a better screen, and if you’re really tight on money… why buy this?? It’s a waste of the slave work you’ve been doing. If the ASUS supports streaming from AMD or Nvidia cards, then that’s different. But if it’s even MORE limited than the Shield, then it’s market will be no one. Not even a rich kid. Because a rich kid can give a damn about a brand like ASUS and a product less capable and cheaper than SHIELD.
