Dell plans to revive its Venue lineup with new Windows 8.1 tablets

At the Intel Developer Forum, Dell’s VP of tablets, Neil Hand, announced company’s plans to revive the Venue brand. He said that the company plans on reviving the Venue line-up with new tablets that run on Windows 8. The last time we heard about the Venue brand was a year ago when the company launched the Venue and Venue handsets in the market. The not-so-successful devices ran on Android and Windows Phone 7 operating systems respectively. 

During the IDF keynote, Neil showcased an 8 inch slate that powered by the latest Windows 8.1 OS update and Intel’s most recent Atom Z3000 processor (codenamed Bay Trail). Reportedly, he also hinted at the possibility of a special event for new Venue devices on October 2 in New York. This would mean that Dell is all set to re-enter the consumer tablet space. Its current line-up of tablets aimed at enterprise market consists of the XPS 10 with Windows RT and the Latitude 10 with Windows 8.


The latest Windows-based tablet announcements at IDF 2013 include the Asus tansformer book T100, a 10.1-inch tablet that will be running the full Windows 8.1 operating system. Intel is also said to working on a chip that could power tablets that cost as low as $100 in the near future
