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

Thinness at the expense of everything else This design is all about being thin, which makes the tablet somewhat awkward, especially in landscape

Ultra-slim, sturdy, and beautiful aluminum chassis, Low weight and small footprint, Remains cool regardless of load level, Decent battery life, Unique "Intel RealSense" camera, Good speakers
Display could be brighter, High resolution is not always a positive, Colors are a bit too vivid / saturated, Narrow bezel makes the tablet difficult to hold, Only 16 GB of eMMC storage, Speaker placement not ideal

Great build quality, unique design, Sharp, bright display, Fast performance, Long battery life
Depth camera is a gimmick, Standard camera disappoints, Design doesn't always work ergonomically, Interface and apps don't make the best use of the large, hi-res display

Pixel-dense OLED screen, Premium metal shell, Expandable storage, One of the first implementations of Intel's RealSense camera tech
No Lollipop (yet), Odd button layout and camera placement make some tasks awkward, So-so camera sensors limit appeal of RealSense and depth-sensing tech
Dell's new-for-2015 Android tablet is a showcase for Intel's scorching-new RealSense 3D camera tech. Attractive design, expandable storage, and one of the best tablet screens to date set it apart, even if it has a few quirks. Read More…...
