HP Omni 10
The HP Omni 10's screen is 10.1 inches with 1920 x 1200 pixels
resolution IPS display and an Intel Bay Trail processor.The Omni 10 is
relatively thin and feels appropriately heavy for a tablet its size.There is a
Intel Atom Z3770 Quad core 2.39 GHz processor (CPU).The tablet runs on the
Windows 8.1 operating system (OS).It feels like a solidly built slate with
decent specs, but the lack of any exciting bells and whistles made it pale in
comparison to some of HP's other tablets, not to mention other Windows 8.1
releases.You can take photos or capture video with the tablet's onboard 8+
megapixel camera. There is also a secondary front facing camera with 2+
megapixels resolution.Despite its humdrum demeanor, the Omni 10 tablet packs
enough of a punch for productivity, with 64GB of internal storage and 2GB of
RAM. The device also features a Micro-HDMI port.As the name Omni suggests, HP
intends this tab for all around use and not specific business (like HP
ElitePad) or home use (like HP Slate).

VS Dell Venue 8 Pro
The
tiny Dell Venue 8 Pro has a premium look and feel for such an inexpensive
system, offers good stylus support, and runs full Windows 8 in something about
the size of an iPad Mini.The Venue Pro’s 8-inch touchscreen has a resolution of
1280 by 800 pixels—that’s a far cry from the 1080p resolution of tablets such
as the more laptop-like Microsoft Surface Pro 2, and it’s even farther from the
iPad mini with a 2048-by-1536-pixel Retina display.The Venue 8 Pro is powered
by a quad-core 1.8GHz Intel Atom Z3740D processor with 2GB of RAM, integrated
Intel HD graphics and 32GB of internal storage. Supplementing the internal
storage is a memory card slot. The microSD card slot sits on the right side,
which is also where you will find the volume rocker, power button and microUSB
for charging. Looking over the rest of the device and you find a Windows button
and headphone jack up top and speaker on the bottom. The left side is clean and
clear.Microsoft has made a lot of improvements to support these types of small
Windows tablets, and it shows. The Windows 8.1 Start screen includes options to
resize Live Tiles for the smaller screen. There’s a new Reading List app to
help save favorites and apps between Windows 8 machines, a Reading Mode in
Internet Explorer. Most of the built-in apps run much better in portrait mode.
That’s exactly how I use the Dell Venue 8 Pro nearly 100 percent of the time —
reading in portrait mode — much as I do on the iPad mini.The non-removable
battery is rated by Dell at 9.9 hours of life per charge.
But, A misplaced Windows button
throws off the usability, and the 32GB of SSD storage won't hold much. A
promised keyboard accessory isn't available yet.
The bottom line: The Dell Venue 8
Pro comes close to being a great pocket-size mini-PC, but a misplaced button
and missing accessories feel like unnecessary errors.Specifications
