Congratz, how the smoothness?

Yeah..congrats. which spec did you get

i managed to get the deal from amazon for usd229. the smoothness is great, much better than my previous tablet, HP Elitepad 900.

besides the screen sensitivity is so much better too. i cant wait to test the active stylus.

only problem i found after just half a day of rough usage, the processor is pretty warm, worse it doesnt have aluminium back to spread the heat.

i also updated bios and touch panel firmware right after unboxing. any particular area need testing?

bro how did u buy from amazon? can teach

Thanks to rkwan67 .. Im also now a proud owner of this device. Really smooth and like the design of it. Now to get android on it..

Ok friends, i have got android working fine on Venue 8 pro. Since genymotion supports openGL you can even play 3D games smoothly. Below are some screenshots of android (genymotion) running on Dell venue 8 pro:





Download Genymotion (Get Nexus 7 rom with android 4.2.x as it is stable) and install it on your Venue 8 Pro. It is free for personal use. Once all set, goto Virtualbox and change the RAM from 1024 to 768. It is sufficient to run android smoothly. Better to have a mouse and keyboard attached. Noticed multi touch doesnt seem to be supported now, will check if there is any workaround for android to support multitouch running on virtualization.

I will try to make a video soon and post in on my blog. For now this was just a quick try. I will also explore more android versions or boot methods soon.

for now i really love the Dell Venue 8 Pro!

64GB version - RM 1,184.16 + USPS Express 1-2 delivery RM 202.68 (2-4 weeks at RM 79)
32GB version - RM 1,002.33

shipping weight is 0.91KG

I should get mine in a few days, then can comment about how well it works. Should be same with Acer W4 I guess.

use comegateway (you need to have an American Express credit card I think) to ship it to Malaysia. the 2-4 business day DHL shipping is the same price as the 2-4 week USPS shipping

last night selling USD99, limited quantity..........

that one is for US shipment only isnt it???

I thought that was for Microsoft Store (or was it Windows Store) and limited to first 10 customers/day?

Yup, thats why it under USD

Limited to 100pcs, super difficult to get it..........

you can purchase directly from IPMART.com.my. change the currency to RM. They will ship to your house just that the shipping is a bit expensive.

on the top right corner of the website - you can change the currency to RM

noticed the 64GB model - shipped to Malaysia using the cheapest shipping 2-4 weeks - the total price is less than RM1.2K
