What you need to know is that there is confusion between this tablet and the Dell Venue 8 smartphone, so be careful. If you want, you can also have a look at the Dell Venue 8 Pro user manual, as well. A reminder of the specs that Dell Venue 8 Pro comes with can also be found in our vs piece with the Lenovo Miix 2, so we won’t go over that again in detail, so here are the main features:

Dell Venue 8 Pro Reviews Roundup

The reviews for the Dell Venue 8 Pro are lengthy and if you’re interested in buying the product, I’m sure you’ve browsed a few of them already. But what I will be focusing here is the conclusion and the wrap-up lines that usually matter when giving your final opinion about a certain product. Here are the ones I found to be the most conclusive. David Pierce with The Verge found the following strong and weak points

Good Stuff – Great price for a Windows tablet, Good battery life, Solid performance Bad Stuff – Broken auto brightness, No Micro HDMI to make use of desktop apps, Bad Windows key placement

Paul Thurott from Winsupersite: SPONSORED Ef Jay with UmpcPortal: But yes, this is a high-quality machine, and it has me wondering now about its bigger brother, the Dell Venue 11 Pro, which comes in a low-end version that features innards similar to the Venue 8 Pro. I also has me wondering about competing Windows 8-based mini-tablets like the Lenovo Miix 2 and Toshiba Encore. Perhaps it’s time to look at one of those next. Preston Gralla from ComputerWorld Only a side by side comparison with a more powerful PC will expose the Dell’s limitations but in isolation it could easily work as a main system for work processing, web browsing and even some light PC gaming. Compared to Atom devices of old including those that launched with Windows 8, the Dell Venue 8 Pro and other Bay Trail tablets are a much better and satisfying experience and finally realize the dream of having a full PC in your hand without compromising on performance, portability or battery life.
