As svelte as it gets
RealSense is niche
But great
Top class 2560 x 1600 resolution
The 7000 looks good. It looks really good. I think it's the sharpest Android tablet I've ever seen. Those tiny bezels look great
And that slimness is almost beyond belief. It's not just the body the 2560 x 1600 OLED screen is fantastic too
The battery
The Dell Venue 8 7000 is remarkably thin and lightweight with a comfortable feel. The Intel RealSense depth-sensing camera is an innovative feature and the preloaded Dell Gallery efficiently works as a central hub for photos. Its storage capacity expands

The 7000's asymmetrical design can be more annoying than a more traditional bezel layout at times. The RealSense cameras are a letdown. Depth-sensing Lytro-style refocusing tech in your tablet could probably be cool
But the apps and cameras are iffy. Th
There's a learning curve to using the depth-sensing camera and the photo-editing software. The tablet can get hot during long periods of use

Are you looking for a smallish Android tablet with a great screen? Then yes. The 7000 is the best one you can buy. Samsung's similarly priced Galaxy Tab S is no slouch, but loses points for its lacklustre design and Samsung's TouchWiz skin.But mostly, the...

Abstract: Thin is big business. And at just 6mm thick, the Dell Venue 8 7000 can call itself the world's thinnest tablet, which is a big deal. It's slimmer than the Apple iPad Air 2 , which has certainly gained our attention. Having first seen the tablet unveiled...
This is undoubtedly a special tablet. Thin, light, powerful and the first with RealSense, Dell may be on to a corker if the preproduction kinks get ironed out. We need more time with it before we decide whether RealSense is as good as we think or whether...

Abstract: The tablet is not only unique in that it claims to be the world's slimmest, measuring just 6mm thick, but it is also the first to boast Intel's second-generation Realsense camera 3D technology, which creates a depth map in every image it takes and allows ...

Innovation comes in all shapes and sizes, but rarely does that innovation look as good as it does with the world's thinnest tablet, the Dell Venue 8 7000 series, announced on Tuesday at IDF. And the reduction to a svelte 6mm is only the beginning. The rea...

A sleek, wellbuilt Android tablet. The screen just goes on forever. Every tablet should be this thin and this light. The battery lasts a long, long time
Just finicky enough to make me worry about its performance. The screen's a little too vibrant, like an HDR photo pushed too far. Needs a software update. Intel's RealSense tech underwhelms, and the threecamera setup is just a gimmick at this point
Abstract: I would like to make a correction to the video the tablet is actually 399.99$.Dells new tablet is a mouthful, and that is a fact. Another fact is that this little 6mm mouthful is a powerful tablet. It sports a high-resolution OLED display at 8.4inches and...

Build quality, display, battery life
Placement of the cameras and WLAN antenna on the bottom of the tablet is an odd design choice
Dell's Venue 8 7000 is a solidly built 8.4″ Android tablet with decent sound, and some cool additional camera features. If you can overlook the design flaw that places the cameras and WLAN antenna where most people would hold the device and get used to ho...
As a tablet, the Dell Venue 8 is impressive. It is small, compact, thin, well-built, has good-sounding front-facing speakers, brilliant high-resolution display. There is also a companion Keyboard Folio of the same size where you can fold up neatly, so in...
