The Venue 8 Pro is one of the best small Windows 8 tablets on the market, and it's got the power to run basic desktop software, older applications and Start screen apps, but tablets like the iPad mini and Nexus 7 have better screens, smoother operating s...
Abstract: Lisa Gade compares three 8″ Windows 8.1 tablets, the Dell Venue 8 Pro, Lenovo Miix 2 8 and the Toshiba Encore. All run on a 1.33GHz Intel Atom Bay Trail quad core CPU with 2 gigs of RAM and 32 or 64 gigs of storage. They ship with Windows 8.1 32 bit, and ...
Abstract: All of this comes in a package that's thin and light enough to be mistaken for an Android tablet but in reality, the Dell Venue 8 Pro can do so much more than any Android device out there right now. With the ability to run most Windows desktop apps as wel...

Compact size, Textured back, MicroSD card slot
No Micro-HDMI, A little sluggish at times, Some noticeable backlight bleeding

The tiny Dell Venue 8 Pro has a premium look and feel for such an inexpensive system, offers good stylus support, and runs full Windows 8 in something about the size of an iPad Mini
A misplaced Windows button throws off the usability, and the 32GB of SSD storage won't hold much. A promised keyboard accessory isn't available yet
