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....

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 ...
Like so many other tablets. How great the Dell Venue 8 is going to be for your needs comes down to what you care about. At $179, it's not a terrible eReader at all. Again, text is crisp and there's plenty of storage if you ever want to watch a movie.Dell...

Bright screen with good viewing angles, Long battery life, Great bang for your buck, Allows for pen input
Awkwardly placed Start button, Pen input can be unreliable
The Venue 8 Pro offers good value for a $300 device, but we suggest you wait for Dell to issue some bug fixes, and also for more competing tablets to start shipping....
We like both of Dell’s Venue 8 tablets, but they’re entirely different devices, with different hardware and operating systems. They’re likely to appeal to different segments of the market, too. So, while our HotHardware Approved award applies to both t...
