Dell venue 8 pro (FULL windows 8) for 229$ + free 25$ gift card + pre-installed office home and student 2013 + much better processor than venue 8

It's sold on the staples online store at this link. It essentially costs 205$ thanks to the free gift card, on top of the fact that this tablet normally costs over $300:

 

Of note is an 8 inch HD (not full HD) ips screen, and 32gb of internal storage

Unlike the regular venue 8 which is slow as balls, this has a much better quad core atom (yes I know, it's an atom, but it actually performs pretty well in benchmarks) Z3740D processor as opposed to a dual core. It also doesn't seem to have the quality control issues of the regular venue 8, which has countless negative reviews on newegg while this one doesn't.

All in all a great deal. I know people who have this tablet and love it. It was a great deal at 300$, and at 205$ it's absolutely amazing, considering even bargains such as the nexus 7 have a mobile OS, less internal storage, and no office suite.

Dell could have hit it out of the park with this guy if they'd invested in a better display, similar to the LG G Pad or Nexus 7.

I'd buy one if it compared to those two.

It is a pretty good tablet, the only better 8" windows tablet is the Thinkpad one but that is a lot more expensive.

a 1280x800 display is not bad. That's the same resolution as the regular 13" $1200 macbook pro (which actually doesn't even use an IPS panel), and it's the same as most sub $1000 laptops. Full HD would give you way too small icons and text (yes yes, I know about scaling, but it doesn't work well with chrome and other apps) on a regular windows tablet like this. Frankly I would buy it in a hearbeat if I didn't just buy a Galaxy Note 3, an s4 active, and two laptops this month lol

yes the display quality of the 8 pro is not that good but the bigger one on the dell venue 11 pro is superb which is a full

ips 1080p
