The best small Windows tablet we've seen so far
Comfortable and attractive design, Great battery life, Sharp, bright display
Awkward Windows Home button placement, Requires additional OTA cable for USB support, Keyboard not included
Expert review by : Mike Jennings (techradar.com)
Can 8-inch tablets bring more consumers to the Windows 8 fold?
Bright screen; tough exterior; expandable storage; reasonable battery life
Sluggish performance; not much storage space; poor speakers; middling screen resolution
If you need a Windows machine for working, this is a good bet – but consider whether you need Windows at all.

The 8 inch Windows tablet has struggled since its inception. There are many reasons for it, mainly the fact that the tile design of Windows 8.1 didn't really work very[...]
The 8 inch tablet has been struggling for a while. The market is saturated with lots of Android devices which cost nothing, and the size of the screen doesn’t really offer much to Windows users. The Dell Venue 8 Pro is a great attempt at trying to buck...

A Windows 8.1 tablet with Office 365 (1-year subscription) available for a bargain £120
Good build quality; Long battery life, Office 365 included (1-year); Full Windows compatibility
Modest performance; Only 1GB memory; Screen could be brighter
Despite its limited performance, the Venue 8 Pro 3000 a great value full Windows tablet

Dell's Venue 8 Pro is an 8-inch Windows 8 tablet that'savailable either standalone or with some handy accessoriesincluding a Bluetooth keyboard, cover/stand and a stylus. So is itbetter than the other Windows tabs we've seen?
Decent screen, powerful processor, sturdy build, good batterylife
No HDMI
The Dell Venue 8 Pro is a reasonably powerful Windows 8 device fora decent price. However, you'll need to shell out for an additionalkeyboard to get the most use out of it.

Packing Intel's latest Atom processor and plenty of business features, is this the best Windows 8.1 tablet?
Good build quality; Compact design; Numerous business features
Mediocre screen; Average battery life; No removable battery
Dell proves there is life in 8in Windows 8.x devices. There are advantages to having a small tablet which can support all Windows applications, but the screen and specification could be better.

Dell's Venue 8 Pro has a better display than some 8in Windows 8 tablets we have seen but, with its small screen and low performance, it's still effectively a netbook replacement.
Light and compact, all-day battery life, good value, Microsoft Office included
Relatively underpowered, small screen restricts usefulness
