Solid performance, Decent screen, Slim and light design, Runs full Windows 8.1
Screen is small for Windows desktop apps, Average battery life
Given the lack of competition, it's not saying much when we label the Venue 8 Pro the best small screen Windows tablet around. All the same, it's the first to make a convincing case for such a device. It's small, light and easy to lug around, but also sp...

Good build quality; Compact design; Numerous business features
Mediocre screen; Average battery life; No removable battery
Dell proves there is life in 8in Windows 8.x devices. There are advantages to having a small tablet which can support all Windows applications, but the screen and specification could be better....
Nice IPS screen, Active Stylus support, Build quality feels solid, Decent battery life
Stylus sold separately, No HDMI-out, We still need (way) more Win 8 apps, Weaker performance than some ARM tablets
If you're on the lookout for a solid 8-inch Windows tablet for running a mix of apps and Windows programs, Dell's Venue 8 Pro is a solid choice at a reasonable price – especially since we've recently seen it on sale at Staples for $280. But it isn't alo...

Abstract: Dell has officially announced the Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet, reviving an old family name with the launch of two tablets at 8 and 10.8 inches. The smaller of the two models was first seen at IDF 2013, but we got the chance to play with a pre-production sampl...
Comfortable and attractive design, Great battery life, Sharp, bright display
Awkward Windows Home button placement, Requires additional OTA cable for USB support, Keyboard not included
This is by far the best 8-inch Windows 8.1 tablet we've seen it's just a shame that Microsoft's operating system is not yet fully equipped for a smaller screen....
Abstract: The Venue Pro 8 identical to competing Android tablets on the market. But running full Windows 8.1 means it should have more functionality than Android and even its iOS counterparts. Dell is hoping the small form factor will be deployed in a variety of s...

Affordable, Manageable form factor, MicroSD support
Plasticy, No LTE option
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 sy...
Abstract: Like a lot of popular notions, this one happens to be untrue, but I'd like to run with it briefly anyway. So here we are in 2011, and Windows is called Fenster, though the BlackBerry is still the BlackBerry, but might have been la Mûre had the French won ...

Great build quality, Generally good performance, Ample storage, Expandable, Reasonably priced
Gets a little warm under load, Windows 8 apps don't match up to iOS and Android counterparts
Very sleek design. Windows 8.1 with no restrictions. Excellent price
Does not have hardware for highend tasks. Absence of keyboard limits options. No USB port
The Desktop mode might hold it back to an extent but even with that qualification, there's no doubting that the Dell Venue 8 Pro is perhaps the most portable and best performing Windows 8 tablet that we have used.Rs 26,499...
