if ordered more, i might re-consider the shipping. well, that's the best i can give with as little as only 3 units.

anyway, is it a coupon code? if yes, i can buy it from you. i have more Christmas present to purchase. smile.gif

lastly, my venue 8 pro will be reaching Malaysia as quick as Tuesday. hope i will love it.

okie, got my Venue 8 Pro. First looks
- Build quality feels better than the Acer W4... it's the ridges.. it makes it feel cooler tongue.gif
- Touchscreen feels crummy, will install the driver once Office finishes installing.
- No USB OTG Cable.. cheap Dell!
*
Can comment the difference among w4 and Dell venue 8 pro!

Just found out that Bitlocker is ENABLED on the C drive on the Dell Venue 8 Pro, that might be what's been screwing up the write speeds on the thing, gonna disable it and check again.

hmm.gif mind to run crystal mark and share the result?

Here's the previous test with Bitlocker on.

[attachmentid=3771035]

Here's the test once Bitlocker was turned off.

[attachmentid=3771036]

I wonder why did Dell choose to turn it on in the first place? On the net people say Bitlocker is now on by default, but that isn't true since.. my Acer W4 doesn't have Bitlocker on... I think. tongue.gif

Go to uefi and activate hs200, the result above is not satisfy

Close enough, now we just need to see what is the HS200 thing StupidGuy wants me to toggle and see if that makes any difference.

The latest UEFI A04 version has remove hs200 option, what your uefi version now!

Looks pretty similar to me, but I don't have the picky eyes. Mainly need to remember Dell MUST turn off auto brightness cause it's too damn dim otherwise.... hhmmm.. maybe the BIOS fixed it.. nope, still too dim.

hmm.gif if both at 100% brigjtness, auto brightness off, which one dimmer?

Both looks the same, the W4 seems to be brighter, but I'm wondering if its just a trick of the colour temperature of the screen, the W4 seems to be warmer so there's a timge of yellow in its output, where as the Dell is colder so theres a tinge of blue in the display.
*
hmm.gif yup, I felt that w4 is too warm...................cause the color very saturate (is over actually)
