Dell Venue 10 7000 Review

Lisa Gade reviews the Dell Venue 10, a 10.5” Android tablet with an excellent optional backlit Bluetooth keyboard. We look at the Venue 10 model 7040 that has a stunning AMOLED 2560 x 1600 display and the quad core Intel Atom Moorefield Z3580 quad core 64 bit CPU clocked at 1.33 GHz with Boost to 2.33 GHz. The 1.3 lb (597g) tablet has an interesting design with a barrel at the end that houses stereo speakers and a 7,000 mAh battery. The barrel also acts as the hinge area for the optional $129 keyboard. The Venue 10 has 2 gigs of RAM, 16 or 32 gigs of storage, a microSD card slot, USB host and it runs Android 5.1 Lollipop. It supports Miracast wireless display and it has WiFi 802.111ac, Bluetooth 4.1 and a GPS. Like the Venue 8 7000, it has a rear 8MP camera with 2 companion 720p cameras for Intel’s depth sensing technology and a front 2MP camera with 3 mics for video chat. The price starts at $499.
