Verdict

The Dell Venue 8 Pro WiFi (5855) is a compact 8-inch Windows tablet featuring an Intel Atom quad-core processor paired with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of eMMC storage. Its primary characteristic is the ability to run a full 64-bit version of Windows, allowing for standard desktop applications and multitasking on a portable IPS display with wide viewing angles. Main pros include its solid build quality, responsive touchscreen with active stylus support, and an impressively long battery life for a Windows-based device. However, some users have noted cons such as limited available space on the 32GB drive after OS installation, the absence of a dedicated HDMI port, and a single micro-USB port that must be shared for both charging and peripheral connectivity.
