You are absolutely wrong! Venue 11 Pro 5000 Series used Atom CPU, £349 and £379 models have 1366x768 screen which is not noticed different than 1280x800 while more expensive £419 and £489 models both have 1920x1080 screen but I found 1280x800 native resolution good on Linx 10" but much better when increased DPI scale up to 125% from 100% made it very easy to read and ebook reader friendly. Linx 10" is amazing tablet, just got mini HDMI adapter delivered on Sat and tested connected it with a spare HDMI cable to my HDTV, very impressed with 1920x1080 output.I got 8 years old 7 inch Samsung Q1 tablet UMPC now up for sales on ebay, it was nice but very terrible slow tablet as snail with 800x480 native resolution, was easy to read. The 7 inch screen supported up to 1024x600 resolution but god it was impossible to read very tiny icons and fonts on 1024x600 I cannot read would really needed a magnify to read it on a very small 7 inch screen.
Maybe you think i am wrong, but that resolution on 10 inch tablet is not the best or worst and that is my opinion given that I have owned quite a few tablets. The resolution on the dell is much better and you cant really argue with that and I would presume the screen is nicer too but not fair to say this as I don't have the lynx in my hand to test. The text is more crisp than than on my brothers tablet with lower resolution. Also the Dell venue 11 pro i3/i5 cpu has the higher resolution but also the some highest spec atom versions come with the 1080P screen most of those on the bay refurbished are 1080p screen versions. Most people dont realise this, only the dell venue 8 pro has 1280x800. i have both machines, dell have most probably made a mistake if they are stating they are all 1366x768 or they have changed the resolution for the tablets recently?????, and they have not discontinued it per say, they are still selling old stock and partially configurable, from what i can see anyway. I am not saying linx is bad tablet but its screen is aimed at those with more strict budget which is great to be honest, not everyone needs those high resolutions, So its just personal preference. I know as you move up resolutions the text becomes much better( up to a point) For example text on my sisters ipad air is fantastic and the screen colours are more accurate than on my dell venue 8 pro.
Wondered what is active charging usb adapter brand and model name that cost £5 worked with Dell Venue Pro 11? Been searched for these and found nothing but forums and videos of homebrew hacked cables with no guides posed fire risks. Prefer official products, found one called Q-Cable USB 2.0 Hub with 4 ports cost £18.16 imported from Singapore on ebay that worked with Dell Venue Pro 8 but none have USB 3.0 Hub. With Linx 10" tablet DC power port made it very easy to plug in USB 3.0 Hub to use devices while charging at same time.
There are a few Chinese ones for this price and there is also a official dell one but more expensive.
ust noticed Dell now discontinued Dell Venue Pro 11 7000 series with i3 and i5 CPUs replaced all of it with 1 Core M 5Y10a CPU and used new Intel 7265 802.11 AC card. All Dell Venue Pro 11 5000 series models used Dell Wireless 1538 802.11n card, models with i3 CPU actually used Dell Wireless 1537 while i5 CPU based models used Intel 7260AC card is exactly the same one in my Dell Inspiron 17" 7000 series laptop but the performance was worsen with connections speed drops all the times between 4 bars and 1 bar with speed as low 14MB to high 26MB per sec but never saw maximum performance. The issue was still going on with no fix so far since I bought it 1 year ago, tried to changed drivers, followed guides from forums to changed settings, disabled power saving, maximum power etc. Intel 7260AC is terrible card cannot get faster than my ancient dad laptop I bought in 2006 17" Dell Inspiron 9400 with Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG card which still got strong 4 bars signal with 36MB per sec and never drop speed, I will change Intel 7260AC card to something better new model that has no issue in near future. My Linx tablet used Realtek RTL8723BS 802.11n which got strong 4 bars signal with 72MB per sec, matched the speed as my wired Ethernet with Virgin Media 50MB cable broadband with over 50MB per sec accorded to speedtest.net.
I have three dell tablets in the house and they are all fine, maybe we are not getting mega 5000mb/s speed download but I have never had a problem with surfing or network drop. but these things are so varied for everyone so cant say you will have similar experience as there are so many factors involved here. Also I am pretty sure the i3 and i5 use the same network card will have to check for you later. There are many out there happy with their venue pro 11, right above me is another user.
