Decent screen, powerful processor, sturdy build, good battery life
No HDMI
The Dell Venue 8 Pro is a reasonably powerful Windows 8 device for a decent price. However, you'll need to shell out for an additional keyboard to get the most use out of it. Specifications Software Windows 8.1 (32-bit) Processor Quad-core...

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: 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...
