Dell Venue 8

[ZYFER]

I picked up one of these recently:

It is a pretty decent tablet. It does lack some of the other features other tablets has, like HDMI out. But for its intended purpose it is pretty decent. Battery life isn't that bad either. What I like most about it is that it uses an Intel Atom processor.

Though I know it isn't a power house, it is nice to see an x86 design for it. The annoying part is some apps say it isn't compatible when it still works just fine on it. I am sure that will get cleared up later, or you can acquire them later. Most of these devices are ARM based processors. I am wondering if there might be some better options later for some virtual PC software due to itx x86 CPU compability. With it having a dual core processor, it should handle it just fine.

Specs wise it is pretty decent as well. 2GB of Ram and either 16GB or 32GB of storage depending upon you choice. It does lack the ability to use 3g or 4g apparently. Not that I would use either. The camera it has isn't so great either, but good enough for stuff like Skype. For the price it is a pretty decent tablet, where others are just much more than it. The only other one I see coming in around that price point is the Nexus 7, which has Tegra 2 processor and less Ram.
