The first convertible laptop running Android you should ever even think about buying.
Large Android tablets are hard. Most apps aren't formatted to take advantage of the extra screen size, and the frequent implementation of 16:9 aspect ratio means using anything with a screen larger than eight inches is cumbersome at best. The best we've seen from these devices is a focus on gaming or media consumption, but when these devices enter the $400+ price range it becomes more than a little difficult to justify the price against the feature set.
It turns out all we really needed was a fresh perspective.
After nailing the 8-inch tablet design, Dell set their sights on something that functionally bridges the gap between tablet and laptop. In the Windows world these machines are often called convertible laptops, and if the Venue 10 7000 Series were running Windows that's exactly what it would be called. In the Android world, however, it represents something new. An Android tablet focused on productivity without giving up any of the things that make using an Android tablet fun, and in some ways even managing to improve on basic tablet ergonomics through yet another seemingly awkward tablet design. It's a series of ideas that, while separately have all been done before, come together in this device to simultaneously set an impressive new bar for Android hardware and point out some positively hideous flaws in Android as a software platform.
Here is our review of the Dell Venue 10 7000 Series.
