Jeber Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 So recently I picked up a gently used Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet running Windows 8.1. Even though I love and frequently use my Nexus 7, I figured I would like to see what another OS on a tablet could do. This is my first exposure to Windows 8. It's also the first time I've used Windows on anything but a traditional desktop and laptop. I haven't had much of a chance to play with it yet. Before I break something, anyone have some advice? Some parts of it seem somewhat traditional while other parts are really odd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goretsky Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Hello, One primary use of tablets for me is as an e-reader, so you might want to look around the Windows Store for various apps. The Big 3 (Amazon Kindle, B&N Nook and Kobo) are there, so that's one use. If the Dell Venue 8 Pro does not have a full-size USB port, you can use a USB OTG Adapter to connect things like USB flash drives and other low-current devices. A Bluetooth keyboard and mouse might be useful, too, as might a case and screen protector. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt.Crow Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Don't forget the mini projector attachment so reading in bed is easier if the pages are on the ceiling . A positive boon the the vision challenged . Hope I got that right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt.Crow Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 They sure are a piece of tech that takes gaming to a new level . But use it on an internal wall . Not on a window blind . You will get visitors else . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
