Dell Venue 11 Pro
Dell’s latest tablet devices have been built to target the market where consumer meets business user, aiming to please both with tablets that can both work hard and play hard, while its XPS range has been refreshed with high-definition displays and slimmed-down design.
The Dell Venue 8 Pro and 11 Pro tablets will come running Microsoft’s upcoming Windows 8.1 operating system. Both devices will feature a high-definition IPS display and be equipped with long-lasting battery packs.
Windows compatibility means easier integration into existing systems at work and both tablets also come with optional advanced security features and services to keep the IT department happy.
To ensure work-level productivity, Office 2013 Home and Student comes pre-installed, and there’s also a stylus option to provide an input alternative. Other accessories include the Dell Slim Keyboard, which also acts as a cover for the screen when folded; the full-sized Dell Mobile Keyboard with an integrated battery for longer hours of power; and the Dell Tablet Desktop Dock for a desktop experience with USB 3.0 ports and dual display outports.
Both devices feature Intel Atom quad-core Bay Trail processors, with the 11 Pro offering up to fourth-generation Intel Core i3 and i5 options.
The 11 Pro will be available from 7 November with the 8 Pro following on 19 November.
