Verdict

The Dell Venue 8 Pro 4G is a compact 8-inch Windows 8.1 tablet powered by an Intel Atom Z3740D quad-core processor with 2GB of DDR3L RAM and 32GB of eMMC storage. Key characteristics include its 1280x800 IPS display, 4G LTE connectivity for mobile broadband, and a 4830mAh battery offering up to 10 hours of use. Main pros are its solid build quality with a textured easy-grip back, the ability to run full desktop Windows applications, and an included license for Microsoft Office 2013 Home & Student. Notable cons include limited physical connectivity with only a single micro-USB port, a misplaced Windows button on the side of the chassis, and restricted available storage after the OS and pre-installed software are accounted for.
