Background: I needed a tablet to submit house inspections. Requires: a) taking pics, b) accessing web-based forms, c) data entry of defects. Price goal was under $100. Plus, I have Window-based laptops, so a Window tablet appealed to me. Evaluation: The Dell Venue handles everything I need to do. No issues with speed and the virtual keyboard is large. The keyboard does cover 50% of the screen. But, the keys are large and easy to tap. Windows 8.1 runs without issues. I spent 30+ yrs in the computer field. So, I use the 'desktop' view more that the tiles (it matches my prior IBM workstation comfort-zone). This is my first Windows 8.x device (All home PCs are Win 7). Took me a few days to learn navigating the tile options. Able to do whatever I need. Not sure how it will handle Win 10. I also bought the external keyboard and case. Rarely use the keyboard because the virtual keys are large and easy to accurately tap. I use a stylus because some of the control icons/tiles are small for my fingers. Wife watches Netflix on the device with no problem. The device is very durable. I use it in all weather conditions at construction sites. Dropped it twice and never missed a beat. Warnings: 1. The camera does not zoom. 2. Because it only has 1GB memory, I could not load Norton or McAfee virus protection on it. Was able to load Kaspersky Anti-virus. .Read full review

I purchased one of these as a "barely used/in new condition." It was a great item at first. Then when I went to charge it, the charging port is loose. So now I have a nice tablet that I cannot use because it will not charge. Maybe I just bought it from a shady seller...

The battery was completely dead, and has take days to charge. It was a challenge to get it to power up at first. Seems to be getting more user friendly with use.

Does not keep the male end of the micro usb cable...too loose of a fit. I understand this is common with the Venue 8.
