Designed to give a desktop-like performance, the the Dell Venue 8 helps you complete your office tasks, encourage your creative nature and build ideas rather quickly with its super fast Intel Atom™ processor Z3740 (up to 1.8GHz Quad-Core). The processor of this tab actually gives its edge over the Acer W3 and the early Windows 8 tablets since these two run on Dual Core.
What are the features of the Dell Venue Tablet?
Let’s start with the design. It’s not too thin, but it’s relatively easy to grab on one hand. It’s not too heavy as well (weighs 1.48 lbs) but it feels tough and solid with a really nice rubberized rear cover which makes it very easy to grab and it’s less slippery.
The display is quite remarkable, it has great view in different angles although you might have to make a few adjustments manually. To be able to get superb display quality, disable the auto-brightness settings as the display might seem to be a bit dimmed. Great colorful 8 inch display with with HD (WXGA 1280 x 800) resolution.
It has a lone speaker that is pretty decent for the uses of the Venue 8. This device also comes with a digitizer pen (not a Wacom) but it has to be ordered separately. It’s also good to note that it has microSD expansion for extra storage and 2 GB of RAM.
PROS
- 8” IPS HD touch display (1280×800)
- Office Home and Student 2013 Tablet Edition included
- 18WHr battery (would last for about for 10 hours)
- 5 MP rear camera
- Intel Atom Quad-Core processor (Z3740D); 2MB cache, up to 1.8 GHz
- Runs on Windows 8.1
CONS
- Windows key is located at the top of the device (not a big issue but it’s just a little odd that it’s not convenient to hit it from the front of the device)
- Cameras are just “ok” – means not too sharp, colors of the pictures are a bit muddy looking and flat.
In conclusion, the features of this device is pretty much just sufficient for its price. It’s actually pretty good for its value. Other uses of this tablet is just “ok” and will do for office works and other projects. Honestly not so much thrilled with its audio capabilities (has little distortions on loud volume) as well as the camera. The interface is quite fast though – noting that it is run with Intel Atom Quad Core, so that makes a difference among all the other tablets of this class.
