Dell Venue 10 7000 Series Review: Convertible Tablet
Source: PC Perspective Archive.org version
Bottom line, if I was reviewing the Venue 10 7000 strictly for its hardware and design, it would achieve our highest award status. As delivered however it is a flawed product due to the relatively poor battery life, underwhelming SoC performance from the Atom Z3580, and of course the mixed experience of Android as a tablet OS. Still, there's enough good to warrant a recommendation, though I highly recommend a demo first if you aren't sold on the Android tablet experience.

When I reviewed the Venue 8, my main point of comparison was the Google Nexus 9. While the iPad Air and iPad Mini 3 should also be considered, for someone who really wants an Android device the Nexus 9 was the clear alternative. I ultimately concluded that the Nexus 9 was a better device for your money, even if the build quality was not near as good as the Venue 8.

Model: The Dell Venue 10 is a tablet which has a detachable keyboard, which makes it a productive 2 in 1 device. This tablet uses an Intel Atom quad core processor with a maximum burst frequency of 2.33 GHz and 2 GB of LPDDR3 RAM, which give this tablet a laptop like performance. This Dell Venue runs on the Android 5.0.2 Lollipop operating system. Its 10.5 inch touchscreen has a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels. There are 2 cameras, an 8 MP rear camera and a 2 MP front camera.

There are 16 GB internal storage and a microSD slot, which supports up to 512 GB. The weight of this tablet is 597 g and the detachable keyboard weighs 466 g. According to Dell, the 7000 mAh battery should last 7 hours. This tablet has a robust build. The thin chassis with slightly rounded edges is mostly made from plastic. The tablet is fairly thin with 6.2 mm at its thinnest point. However, the barrel hinge, which connects to the detachable keyboard makes it a lot thicker at the opposite end. Overall, the Dell Venue 10-7040 is an affordable 2 in 1 device for users who seek for portability and flexibility of use.

Intel Atom: The Intel Atom series is a 64-Bit (not every model supports 64bit) microprocessor for cheap and small notebooks (so called netbooks), MIDs, or UMPCs. The speciality of the new architecture is the "in order" execution (instead of the usual and faster "out of order" execution). Therefore, the transistor count of the Atom series is much lower and, thus, cheaper to produce. Furthermore, the power consumption is very low. The performance per Megahertz is therfore worse than the old Pentium 3M (1,2 GHz on par with a 1.6 GHz Atom).

Z3580: Quad-core SoC for smartphones and tablets. Clocked at up to 2.33 GHz and integrates a DirectX-11-capable PowerVR/IMG GPU.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

This is a standard display format for tablet computers or small convertibles. You see more on the screen than on a smartphone but you can't use big resolutions well. On the other hand, mobility is not a problem.
