Beyond the specs, the defining feature of the Venue 8 Pro is really the software it ships with. Running the full version of Windows 8.1, you're getting the same legacy support you'd find in a PC, meaning you'll have access to a rich catalog of both PC and mobile apps. Speaking of which, Dell has already bundled Microsoft Office Home and Student 2013 with this tablet, which usually costs another $100 or more. It's one of the bigger reasons people buy Windows mobile devices and is definitely a large boost to the appeal of this tablet.
