Dell jumped back into the tablet space in a big way on Wednesday, unveiling no fewer than four tablets, including both Android and Windows models — all of them powered by Intel chips.
The Dell Venue 7 and 8 are aggressively priced Android tablets aimed at "millennials." Both tablets have high-def IPS (in-plane switching) LCD screens, and Dell says they have "all-day" battery life thanks to the Intel Atom "Bay Trail" processor. The Venue 7 and 8 cost $149 and $179, respectively.
On the Windows side, Dell showed off the Venue 8 Pro and Venue 11 Pro. Calling it the "world's thinnest Windows tablet," Dell says it's less than 9mm thick. Dell also offer a stylus and 4G connectivity as options, and the back has a "soft touch" grip, similar to BlackBerry phones.
The Dell Venue 11 Pro is a 10.8-inch tablet with a full HD (1,920 x 1,080) IPS screen. Buyers can choose between Intel Atom and Core-powered versions, and Dell will offer an optionsl desktop dock for hooking up to a workstation. There'll also be an optional travel keyboard that also augments the battery life to 17 hours. Pricing starts at $499.
We're about to get hands-on time with the Venue tablets and will post more details shortly.
