ok these are great, here how i got to this, i have a tf101 but its just a bit too much for a second screen kinda tablet for the tv and htpc.. so i thought how bout a smart phone... i went through a droid2 and a droid x2 just could not get happy with the small screen... so i decided to get a nook tablet... i just did not like it very much it was ok but i kept thinking... i will just wait out the nexus 2 7 release... but i decided once i saw that these were on fire sale would give them a shot... very happy with these tablets... i have yet to root.. but thats comming... but the 9 inch tablet is just about the perfect size for web surfing .. controlling the google tv interface and the android htpc.. its pretty zippy.. and the screen is one of the best i have seen.. very very close to I Pad retina display... im just about sure i can skip the nexus 7's for now.. and that walmart tablet.. these are a steal right now... i could care less if its a fire sale or not... i have never counted on company pushed updates... all my gear is rooted and rommed.. i cant believe such a neat tablet went so cheap... Great deal!!!
Got one, now my Samsung sg3 phone screen is TOO SMALL!
Got an hd+ 32gb for $179 at Best Buy. Now my SGS3 screen looks just too small. Installed Webkey on the phone and now I can look at my SGS3 on a 9" screen. Awesome!
Last year at this time my problem was that there were no good W8 tablets, and now these seems to be 2 very good W8 tablets upcoming. Money is not an issue, I have been saving since last year for one of these guys, but I was wondering, naturally it's hard to determine given that neither the pro2 or venue aren't out, but what does everyone think about the 2 tablets right now, does anyone have a preference or idea as to which may be better?
Currently debating the same thing, but the price of the Dell Venue is the deal breaker. Essentially half the price for the same tablet, take my money.
Honestly, I prefer the look of the venue 11 pro over the surface pro 2 although I have been massively put off by dell build quality. Every dell machine I have handled has been creaky, wobbly or outright faulty, lets hope the venue changes that.
The venue has a user replaceable battery and the keyboard dock is a design I prefer utilising an actual laptop hinge rather than relying on a kickstand to prop up the screen, would be wicked if the venue had the kickstand too though for when without a keyboard but thats just me wanting one rather than me saying they should have added one. The bay trail option is rather attractive too, £349 entry price for what I presume would be bay trail and no keyboard. Going right upto i5 with 8gb of ram (appears they are using the exact same chip as the surface pro 2 and with 8gb of ram they would essentially become the same device). If someone could assure me of the venue's quality that would probably be the device I went for.
Looks like about £210 for the 8" dell tablet. I am more interested in the 8" tablets right now than the 10 (or in case of venue 11). I have a 13" laptop and can't justify having 2 windows devices which are really quite similar in size. I'm keeping an eye on the 8" windows tablet market, would prefer 7 still but thats just me being picky. Looking to replace my phone first though and don't have the money for buying tablets too.
I think asus and lenovo are supposed to be announcing devices soon too.

Do we know the price of their i5 model yet?
Surface pro 2 all the way. The only dell that interests me is the 8in. Venue pro. Surface pro 2 and the pro 1 still has other new devices beat. Quality wise.

Have you ever used any of their business-class models? The Latitude XT (later replaced by Dell with an XT2) I got from them years ago was drastically better quality than any of the home-class models I've ever gotten from Dell... and customer support was better on the business end as well.
Still, I'd pick the Surface Pro over a Dell tablet any day. With the Surface, you're pretty much guaranteed that Microsoft will keep supporting the tablet with driver updates and the like. With Dell, it's always (in my experience) been a crap shoot whether they would continue updating drivers for new operating systems... so while the Dell might work great with 8.1 now, who knows what will happen if 8.2 changes driver requirements a year down the line.
If there was a Venue Pro at around 6-7 inches though, I'd seriously consider using that to replace my cell phone... it just would still be paired with a Surface.
I've been going back and forth between the two and I think the Dell is going to win unless something else is announced soon.
Sp 2 has slightly better i5 but the dell is still going to top sp1 and will gain battery life/run cooler in the process
The magnesium build of the sp2 is offset by dells removable battery and serviceable hardware.
The keyboard doc is much better then microsofts power cover which relies on the kickstand for support plus is half the price.
Venue has display port AND hdmi port on the tablet.
sp2 does have wacom but synaptics is looking pretty good. For an artist or design pro this of course could be a deal breaker.
Sp2 panel may be higher quality not sure... they both look good and venue is slightly larger.
Hard to say about firmware/driver updates... probably depends on how many they sell. Honestly in a year I'll be itching for the next gen haswell anyway.
I will get the Venue 8 Pro. It is a perfect device.for work. Digital ink plus outlook, office, and one note. The only think I can concerned about us the pen technology they selected. I would have preferred Wacom to be compatible with my Samsung spens

Nope. The £349 price Dell has said is for the configuration with an Atom CPU. We still have to see the price for the config. with an Intel i5.

Asus already anounced the tablet-PCs they will sell this year, the Transformer Book T100 (with Atom CPU), the Transformer Book Trio (Android tablet + WIndows dock) and the Transformer Book T300 (same hardware as the Surface Pro 2 but without stylus support).

November 7th the Venue Pro 11 will be available on UK, we'll have to wait until then to see the prices of the different configs on Dell's web.
I presume that the Venue11 is an 11" device, personally, and I know its only an inch, that extra one mackes it a pita to hold, I used to have one of the Samsung 11" tabs last year and it was too big..
Does anyone have an idea about the Venue pen technology?

I think I have read that the pen technology of the two Venue is from Synaptics, not from Wacom. Try to look on Youtube for videos where they show the device and hope to hear what technology it has.

In the announcement they said that the venue 8 is using synaptics, I would assume that the 11 also uses synaptics.
Hello,
Does anybody have any input or on hand use of each tablet to make a fair comparison or opinions?
Thanks.
Well, I'm asking the same question, it's hard to say...
Same processor, memory et resolution, battery life...
But the venue 11 pro has bigger screen (10'8 vs 10'1), SSD (64gb vs 32), NFC and better accessories (but expensive...)
In France, the HP Omni is $100 less than the Venue...I don't know wich one to choose either
I'm going to check the HP in a store, it's available since yesterday...Maybe I'll come back with it
please report here your impressions about omni 10 if you can see in store...i preordered on amazon.it (399 euro) but i'm not sure if buy this or the asus t100. BTW both are not available in italy at now (as the venue 11)
So I saw the HP Omni 10 and it looks good, looks solid.
Everything looked smooth. the 2gb memory worries me a little but even the Venue has only 2gb...
The screen brightness was at the max and it doesn't felt that way... maybe the store was super bright, it don't know...not a big deal I guess...
I will go back this afternoon and buy it...
In France the Venue is actually around 600 euros with taxes and shipping...The Omni is 400 euros...so I've made my choice...
I think at this price you can't have better... the T100 does have a keyboard but looks much cheaper and the omni has a better processor and is full hd (1920/1200 actually) !
My only concern will be to find a decent cover/case with - if possible - a keyboard...the galaxy note 10.1 has similar build maybe it can work with its accessories...
how do you feel the screen comparing to other tablets (color, brightness)? i.e. micosoft surface or ipad? what about viewing angles and the matt finish?
wiewing angles are good, it's no retina but it's good. I'm not blown away but it's good (for the price)
venue 11, omini 10 and T100 are good value but looks crap .Nokia 2520 and surface 2 looks awesome but runs a crap os.

If its not too much trouble, please post pics/video/review of the HP OMNI 10. Would be interested in initial impressions of performance.
i'm also really interested in having more information about this tablet, please share your experience...
just to let everyone know, my order of dell venue pro 11 shipped and will get it tomorrow
Can either of these tablets output DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD audio?

Oh man. Thanks. All I did is reply with quote and that's what it linked
I've had the omni10 for a couple days now. I am enjoying it. I am coming from a surface rt.
Screen - Crisp and bright. I have no complaints other than blacks could be darker but its not amoled so my expectations are just off I guess. Viewing angles are nice. Not the best ever but colors don't get washed out. The issue is the reflections on the screen if in a bright room. There is no light creeping from the corners of the screen like the surface rt.
Memory - I've had no issue. I have run mail, calendar, games in the background, had a vpn running and Firefox with multiple tabs without issue.
Weight and feel - its a soft plastic, similar to venue pro 8 but without the pattern. It does not collect fingerprints and feels good, not slippery which is good for a tablet. I picked up my iPad and weight is comparable when in the smart case. Maybe Omni is a little lighter and thinner (when iPad is in the case).
Touch is responsive. It might be useful to get a stylus though. Working in desktop mode with touch sometimes registers incorrect touches or you have to touch multiple times. Ive only noticed this in desktop mode.
Speed - its zippy when opening apps. Night and day from coming from a surface rt. It takes a while to install non metro apps though. I think this has something to do with the hard drive.
Bonus - I really like that HP put the recovery on an 8gb flash drive. It leaves you with space and removes you having to manually move recovery to your own flash drive like people buying the vp8. I thought it was a thoughtful thing by HP.
Heat - gets a little hot just on the HP logo on the back. Other than that it runs comfortable.
Lastly, I've seen some accessories for the Omni 10. I think there is a case and dock. Both are not as good as other ones for baytrail tablets but I dont mind. I really like this has micro hdmi, micro USB and a power connector. It allows me to use peripherals while charging and connect to my hd monitor without hacking or any problems.
Hi,
At work, most of us have Nexus 5 now (for some reason), and we noticed something really strange with one of our employee computer:
He work on a MacBook Pro Retina, 13 inches, late 2013, and whenever we swipe a N5 on the laptop border left of the touchpad, the N5's screen come alive.
I took a video, using one of our work's iPhone, to show what happens.
We only have one of these MacBook Pro at work, so we can't reproduce it. Can anyone? And would you know what happens?
If you were going to replace your 8, what would you get and why? I ask because I am very disappointed with the 3 whole hours battery time I am now getting and looking to find something better.
I'd probably get the Shield tablet even though the stylus isn't nearly as good. The Shield tablet has pure Android, lots of gaming features (I play plenty of games on my Note 8), SD card slot, front facing speakers, and decent first party accessories. Those things are important to me on a tablet, and I think that's the one I'd get if I was to replace my Note 8.
A Microsoft Surface Pro 3
Because I prefer windows as OS

Funny. I got my girlfriend a Note 10.1 which she uses to draw commissions and requests. She has found herself using the tablet only for drawing and her laptop only for browsing internet. So I suggested she get a surface pro or a similar windows 8 tablet with the stylus option. My only issue with the surface is that it is pricey but it does aim to eliminate the need of both a laptop and a tablet .
I know I will eventually want to replace the Note 8.0 and I almost did with an Asus Windows 8.1 Transformer tablet but I hesitated due to my history with my android transformer tablet being reaaaaallyyyy bad. Also, I prefer to have a full sized laptop on the go when I'm not near my desktop so I will probably keep the android tablet on me and bring a full laptop whenever I need to use one.
So what I'm trying to say is that if I were to upgrade my Note, I'd probably go with a Shield or another android tablet.
Black, if thats the case why not get the new think pad helix 2. Basically it's a surface pro 3 but done right. Something to think about.
Is nvidia shield tablet worth considering?

If anyone coming from a Galaxy Note 8 to a nvidia shield tablet could share its experience... I'd like to know about the pen. I mainly use MyScript stylus keyboard for taking notes. I'm considering the shield tablet 32g/LTE to replace both phone and note 8.0.
Regards
I'd want hands on, but I'd probably consider the LTE Shield or an LTE Note 10.1.
I am in the same boat. I really had high hopes for the Nexus nine to be the best tablet and have a good price but that obviously didn't happen
Good answers. I've been looking around and, frankly, can't find anything as good as the 8. And, of course, it's discontinued, so once mine is shot I'll need to go through this again. I like the stylus, the size is just right, fast, good screen quality, and (now that I have replaced the battery) good life on a charge. I carry mine in the small of my back (lots of things fit there!) so a 10-inch is out. I know something bigger-better-faster-red will come out in the future but, for now, I think I'll stick with my 8. Thanks for the perspective, folks! If you find something comparable, let me know!
I would'be gotten a venue pro 8.0 but could not pass up $200 new for the GT-N5110 over a year ago.
right now the Galaxy S note seems to be a good replacement.
