  • The tiny Dell Venue 8 Pro has a premium look and feel for such an inexpensive system, offers good stylus support, and runs full Windows 8 in something about the size of an iPad Mini
  • A misplaced Windows button throws off the usability, and the 32GB of SSD storage won't hold much. A promised keyboard accessory isn't available yet
  • The Dell Venue 8 Pro comes close to being a great pocket-size mini-PC, but a misplaced button and missing accessories feel like unnecessary errors....

  • Compact size, Textured back, MicroSD card slot
  • No Micro-HDMI, A little sluggish at times, Some noticeable backlight bleeding
  • The Dell Venue 8 is a nifty little Windows 8.1 tablet device that can fit into the palm of your hand thanks to its 8in screen and thin body. It's a decent performer for most tasks, but can struggle a little with CPU-intensive Web streaming...

  • Bright screen; tough exterior; expandable storage; reasonable battery life
  • Sluggish performance; not much storage space; poor speakers; middling screen resolution
  • 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 s...

  • 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...

  • sleek and crisp display, Intel Silvermont chipset, long battery life
  • Average cameras, not conducive for Windows 8.1 platform, limited storage
  • An 8 inch tablet for Windows platform looks clumsy and cluttered besides that Venue 8 Pro is a good value-for-money device with long battery assistance, dongle support and well built body....

  • Bright and clear display with excellent viewing angles, Good build quality with a soft touch rubberized back – Better grip plus one handed usage, Intel Atom Z3740D is super fast, Long lasting Battery Life, Great Audio and Video performance, Synaptics digi
  • Windows 8.1 needs more consistency, x86 apps and environment useless on a touch screen, No HDMI out for easy mirroring, Store lacks big name apps and games, some of the current apps are poor, Low pixel density,
  • The Dell Venue 8 Pro not only stands tall among the latest range of mini Windows tablets, it pretty much rivals the iPad mini too, which comes at the same price for a similarly spec’d version. It also provides better value for the higher price it comma...
