The Dell Venue 8 is larger than the iPad Retina but it is still easy to hold in one hans. The back of the tab has rings along with the Intel and Dell logos are on the backalong with the 5mp rear cam.

The Dell Venue 8 pro is pretty much a standard tablet, with a headphone jack, a microSD card slot, a micro USB 2.0 port, and wireless display tech. However, Dell Venue supports Miracast wireless display technology. But it has no video port for exporting videos.

Andre Cunningham of arstechnica writes, The display's main shortcoming relative to competing tablets is its density, which hovers near 200 PPI as comparable iOS and Android tablets have moved closer to 300 PPI. Text and images look perfectly fine on the Venue's screen, but they lack the crispness you can get elsewhere. Lenovo's ThinkPad Tablet 8 is the option to wait for if you want a denser screen, as it's got a 1920×1200 8.3-inch display.crispness you can get elsewhere.
