Dell Venue 10 7000 Review - Are Android Notebooks Worth it?

[@EposVox]

Holy crap, this looks incredible. Does the market have space for Android notebooks? ABSOLUTELY! This looks like it could replace the Chromebook model almost altogether.

[@RagingGingivitis]

I don't think it actually can. This laptop costs $500 while most Chromebooks are around the $200 range.

[@EposVox]

Self Contained Productions Hence the "almost." I see this model as kind of the Chromebook Pixel of the Chromebook - the super, near-top-of-the-line model that shows just what all can be done, then ideally we'll get cheaper models soon. If we can get useable Android notebooks for the same $200 price range (the touch screen will be the issue on price) then I say many techies might go for them instead of Chromebooks - Android app functionality extends the device's usefulness far beyond Chrome apps. I love my Chromebook to death, but I would switch to this given the opportunity in a heartbeat.

[@HardwareCanucks]

The DELL Venue 10 7000 is the best Android Notebook implementation yet.

[@vzangel]

Take a look to the Xperia Z4 Tablet, I think it is better as a standalone tablet but is also functional with the keyboard.

[@TheXXBLahBLahBLahxX]

HardwareCanucks Hey man can you make a video comparing the Aorus x7/x5 G-Sync to the ASUS G751 G-Sync. Thanks

[@kapildeshmukh7878]

Please tell me the name of that gorgeous wallpaper.

[@ikbenpatrick]

HardwareCanucks Whats that wallpaper?

[@SignatureCha0s]

Miguel Angel Vazquez It doesn't have the OLED screen of this tablet.

[@the13thkillzone]

This is way too expensive for what it is.

[@ericvilla1]

Agreed. It's good but not good for the price

[@Falling0Awake]

the13thkillzone Doesn't stop Apple customers from buying highly overpriced Apple products.

[@TesserLink]

the13thkillzone it would be a nice price if it ran windows.

[@Altruistic00]

brandonhughes7 There is one. Surface 3 with type cover. same price but with much better functionality and performance.

[@TesserLink]

Altruistic i know there is im talking about this thing. if i was talking about the surface i would have mentioned it.

[@wistfulbreeze2025]

or for the same price you could get a windows surface 3 with keyboard.

[@homolimo]

WistfulBreeze ikr

[@mattikro]

WistfulBreeze But its limited version of windows though right, because if it is i would much rather have an android tablet than a non full windows os tablet anyday, just because of the market and amount of actually apps.

[@mattikro]

For the same price?

[@brendandooley6719]

Mattias Kroeze The Surface 3 uses full Windows.

[@joeykeilholz925]

Mattias Kroeze windows RT doesn't exist anymore basically

[@themystguy]

Glad you took jay's advice & started appearing more on camera :) Bdw, excellent video.

[@NoahKun12]

>Saw the price tag >Saw the price tag with the keybaord >X out the KZbin tab

[@Hi1337CS]

NoahKun12 >Came back to comment an unintresting and boring comment

[@NoahKun12]

sugslyna >Butthurt cause I shitted on something he likes and it's shit

[@Hi1337CS]

NoahKun12 >Penis

[@NoahKun12]

LOL

[@MichaelFoleyPhotography]

Why would you buy this when for the same price you can get a 15" laptop with an i5, full windows and a touchscreen?

[@SlimeyCraft]

The form factor.

[@operate170]

S-Craft gƒx like a surface pro for the same price?

[@cAjUnPeCkEr]

+ Console Os

[@Altruistic00]

S-Craft gƒx Surface 3 with type cover.so much better than overpriced android tablet

[@KyudoKun]

***** Agreed

[@DrMacintosh]

Would rather get an iPad or a Surface.

[@iWillwerk4food]

Eric Melendez As would I but an iPad is just a tablet. And the Surface is a tablet-laptop but it's running on Windows OS. This runs on Android which is simpler to navigate.

[@DrMacintosh]

Gordon Mendez But the Surface is a way better bang for your buck. Its a actual PC. This thing is also just a tablet with a keyboard and mouse. The iPad is the easiest of all of them to use so if you were going for simple its the iPad hands down. You could also use a Bluetooth keyboard with an iPad and get near the same functionality.

[@iWillwerk4food]

In the category of tablet with keyboard the Surface is second to none but where I'm from the lowest end model of Surface is about $800USD. I agree with you that a 3rd party bluetooth keyboard will serve well but that means I will be lugging around a keyboard that couldn't be attached to a tablet. So really this device is for someone who can't afford a Surface.

[@NasruddinAaidilShari]

Thank YOU! Someone finally said it! Please make your apps landscape mode compatible.

[@mikerogers7433]

Purchased the keyboard when it was one sale for $30 almost a year and a half after it was introduced. Still a solid performer.

[@biondiwiyono5431]

this guy is one of the best reviewers out there. good job bro

[@archiethedog4515]

There needs to be a better android OS for laptops, or just go linux.

[@cAjUnPeCkEr]

CONSOLE OS

[@razamatraz1]

Jon Doe Isn't that what chromebooks are for? Cheap, low power machines.

[@GamingAndStuffInHd]

Bryan Bonin Wtf are you on? You can't turn a console into an os.

[@kindred0102]

Jon Doe Remix OS.

[@nageen123naz]

Linux has awful support

[@iMapleCreator]

I would just go the iPad Air 2 route. Battery life is off the charts, performance crushing all else, smooth experience throughout. Trust me when I say this, because I have went through the Nexus 7 1st, 2nd, Tegra Note 7, Shield Tablet, and finally the Nexus 9... All of these past experiences were horrible, but once I went iOS, omg, now I understand why people love Apple.

[@Jacobvby]

Awesome quality review!

[@heatguy100]

To the people asking who would use this--though niche in nature, I would argue this would be very handy in hospitals. It's size lends itself well to fit into a white coat, and it would be easy to whip it out in jiffy when you need to type up orders or update a note on the fly. I personally use an iPad mini currently, and it has been nothing short of a 'lifesaver' (pun intended) on busy days.

[@antonalog]

What lens were you using in the face shot? There's a lot of chromatic abberation on the mic at the side. Thanks!

[@Dom-zw8ht]

those headphones on your desk? what are they? they look awesome

[@SH3player]

They lowered to $400 for some sale. At $529 for a 16gb version+keyboard still seems a bit high to me for a limited device. $400 seems like a good compromise especially when competing devices beat the web browsing experience at about 9+hours.

[@jonowee]

If you forced me onto a tablet, I'd have to be a Surface Pro because of the Surface Pen, but really a Lenovo Yoga would be my choice of keyboard and touch screen. Seriously with the Windows ecosystem, Office356, and Steam with In-Home Streaming, why would have to compromise with iOS or Android apps.

[@GeFlixes]

Nice. And there's even a VIM port for Android. (which doesn't make much sense without a keybord)

[@MarkSKristensen]

I'm still wondering where I can find that wallpaper he always uses on his showcase/review videos, the New York cityscape one.

[@TimothyPlays]

It's nice, but there are a lot of other tech products that are nice as well. Is the display in the background at 3:48 the Acer 4k with G-Sync?

[@1300l]

Android is a great OS for phones. An ok OS for tablets... but terrible OS for anything else.

[@CarlosDeBernardMrAgapi]

Interesting Dimitri. Dell has push the design department well it is native androit?

[@youplaymenot]

HardwareCanucks Are you able to check if a force rotate app can fix the landscape problems?

[@incognito8448]

the battery on my android notebook died and I cant find a replacement....I loved that thing it was my on the road alarm clock ,radio , and email machine

[@95thRiflesOCI]

The display is a beauty, just like old 1600x900 13 inch laptops back in the day. But I just don't see these notebooks taking off until they get more powerful specs in general, not just this andriod. However its in the right direction, but right now with really thin laptops that have way more powerful specs also gaining speed then the market is pretty much saturated with things for everyone.

[@nageen123naz]

Is there an ultrabook / slim laptop with a beefy GPU to run the latest AAA games? I know about the razor blade but that thing is way too expensive

[@ryankazzy3877]

fabulous hand flail is fabulous! 6:35

[@michaelpan2972]

this thing is nice, but i think it s way heavier than the z4 tablet. my whole pt of getting a tablet is for the weight to replace my laptop for certain situations

[@yensteel]

If this runs windows 10, I would definitely buy it

[@SoundFX09]

And here come the "It's a Dell" Haters. I do think Dell is asking too much for something that's for Basic Internet Use. $629? No thanks.

[@Sloppyjoe96]

i think that this is way better than chromebook, i kinda wish chromeos was just android

[@gwebb417]

There is an option in android under input options to change pointer speed.

[@Gitau_Kenn]

Wow, id gotta say am not a fan of android on Larger than usual devices but this one looks really cool. Is that an OLED panel? But the price..quite expensive

[@xXDeltaXxwhotookit]

Some nice innovation in the design.

[@J.D.Vision]

Can you pair it up to a Game console like XBOX or PS4?

[@lolakyle8]

I love how Dmitri shows his emotion in camera lol

[@seanbarilari]

Those blankets pay more than NCIX?

[@yeahBradley]

This device is intriguing, but I fail to see how it would perform better than the HP stream or a small form factor windows laptop.

[@ccBOBO]

Stunning machine!

[@jojogonjalves4137]

Can I use harddisk or pendrive in it and download torrents directly into hardisk or pendrive

[@enjoiadrian]

Dimitri, plenty of rotation control apps that let you force apps to rotate my friend 😊

[@talaltashkandi4291]

Been having the same orientation problems on my Nexus 7 , super annoying, sometimes not even restarting the tablet would fix it .

[@williamnguyen2392]

mine too and even when i tried to boot it up, no matter the amoubt of time i held it or the amount of times i pressed it, it only sometimes boot up and now it just completely wont

[@talaltashkandi4291]

That's the nexus line for you dude, I might get the shield tablet insted.

[@SeanMontebello]

How is the price Ok? It's a really cool implementation but sooo not worth it.

[@Jeffmorgan1991]

Brains is the display now and not the CPU?

[@francisarcher5667]

This looks really cool... Looks really portable. The laptop I have it too big and bulky...I'd love to buy this kind of gadget for myself :d.

[@abuttandahalf]

I would get either the surface 3 pro (wihch is more expensive, the the 3 costs the same), or the asus zenbook ux 305. this probably isn't powerful enough for my uses.

[@Drakopiou]

The backpack are the aorus b3 right?

[@richarddr1234]

Can't we get one with Windows?

[@thecow123xxx]

Dmitry looks so handsome

[@theHaziq991]

My tablet idea - Great specs - FHD - AMOLED/OLED - No camera (who does use tablet camera, so big. Hard to handle) - Thin - Light - Big battery - Expansion slot - Price : $340 - 400 (?) What do u guys think?

[@REDDICE0818]

Ad Ziq Samsung Galaxy Tab S

[@operate170]

Here's the problem... A big battery is heavy... And big. That contradiction between battery and thickness is going to stand until battery technology improves, which is not going to happen any time soon. Sorry.

[@theHaziq991]

Operate170 Wasn't it LG make new battery? welp thats ok

[@DgtalBreakz]

Ad Ziq Yeah, an hexagonal shaped batery for watches because square ones arent as space efficient when you have to fit it in a circular enclosure lal

[@theHaziq991]

ahh..i see, its for watches... Dgtal Breakz

[@alexanderivarson856]

reasons not to get it: 1) The price: you can get a reasonably priced windows laptop for that. 2) Updates! Unlike Windows Android doesn't update all products the manufacturer has to. 3) The screen scratches easy. I had the venue 8 version of this and even though i cradled it like a baby it still had a scratch on it somehow. It is great for the time being but the effect wont last with androids constantly updating and leaving models out dated. Save the pain and buy a laptop.

[@baderali8855]

does it support Ethernet adapter OTG ??

[@vivektavildar]

What is it RAM and storage?

[@cAjUnPeCkEr]

Surface 3 + Console OS will give you dual boot full Windows 8.1 and Android.I've never tried to install it but it can't be that hard.If my Asus g750 was touchscreen, i'd be all over it.

[@HK.Builds]

The best tablet on the market right now is the xperia z4 tablet.

[@TechHug]

OR, and stay with me here, they could put a Linux distro on it. I know, crazy.

[@SirW0nka]

So I'm watching this video on my Asus Transformer and I do agree that this kind of Android convertible are awesome, and that's the only reason I could get a tablet. That said, at this price range ($600) it's definitely not worth. I'd much rather get a proper laptop/ultrabook or even a Surface. No one should be paying that much for an Atom CPU !

[@Sama-lj2vz]

it would awesome if it ran remix os

[@harrisonchan2699]

Can anyone link me to the wallpaper used on his tablet?

[@JAF30]

The lack of landscape is hurtful.

[@neillewis2577]

can't you change the trackpad speed on it I have it on even my Dell venue 8 7000

[@dirtyasianmafia2310]

Did you watch the video?

[@acdbrn2000]

Well this device has a few main issues. 1.) Atom processors are great but if your going to use an x86-64 architecture just run windows or linux that take advantage of it and not android where most apps are not designed for cisc code. 2.) This "laptop" (really a tablet with a nice keyboard) does nothing a tablet with a nice bluetooth keyboard can't do and some do more .... far more for less money. A Galaxy Tab S with keyboard would give you the same resolution (with color options) and cost less. A nvidia ahield with keyboard would give you superior gaming performance and cost less. 3.) While not as bad as IOS for real productivity work (though it is improving) android is far from ideal unless all you really need out of a "laptop" is a larger screen then your phone. Windows (real windows not rt) has more options to fit exactly the type of file you need to mess with. From spreadsheets, to text documents, to code parsers, or any other productivity you need. Though unless you want to sell off a kidney running heavy photo/video editing should be done on a desktop. To be fair android tablets (which this is, just with a nice keyboard) are good at media consumption but if that is what you want there are better options. If you want a light laptop replacement get a good, inexpensive (read not surface 3 ripoff priced) atom based windows 8.2 tablet with a sdcard slot and a usb. Then with the $500 dollars you saved get what ever extremely nice keyboard and mouse you want and a nice 64-128GB microSD card for a D: drive. It will handle anything this or the surface 3 can. The surface pro 3 is different and also north of $1000 and yes that will do much much more, but at what it costs you could get your choice of laptop that will do it better if bigger.

[@Arunscape]

Try an app called rotation. It's free and requires no permissions and works for me

[@tatsumaru12345]

Get the asus transformer pad 103c if you need something like this. 400$ less. Beyond having only 1gig of ram, which that sucks, really doesn't perform that much less than this thing.

[@cmusic52]

if more apps had lanscape versions? I'd probly do it

[@gimmie55]

this would need a full size usb port if i was going to get it!

[@GuyRandom]

It's either a really slow, thin laptop or really thick, fast tablet. Not sure about it.

[@jersn5560]

This is a cool idea. Not bad.

[@alcatraz9038]

It is beautiful just which it had Windows 10

[@SUH966]

how many these?

[@Slvrable]

Old people. Old people still use tablets to take photos... my grandmother got suckered in to buying a 128gb ipad which she takes photos on as well as saving ones people upload to facebook...

[@bmb49]

get free program "set orientation" for profile only orientation of apk's to work in landscape, such an easy fix!

[@derekdwamenah9891]

What background is that?

[@paragonath3637]

This device reminds me of Lenovo's Yoga Tablet 2 pro.

[@FaiyaRay]

Still waiting for a better Asus TF100TAM :(

[@Witcherworks]

And people say the surface 3 is expensive? Shesh you can't make anyone happy these days!

[@IbrahimNameer]

Awesome.

[@PRIYAJITSAHA]

Use auto rotation manager app to force app in landscape mode .your problem will be solved

[@jackkraken3888]

$499 10inch with no keyboard. $629 with keyboard. Wow way too expensive, you would think that with how cheap SoC are and not needing to pay licence fees for an OS the price would be better.

[@pedromanuel2857]

Dmitry looks like asher from game of thrones

[@rickyjim2001]

Anybody find a stylus with which you can write notes and sketches on the display of the Venue 10 7000? The Targus that Dell sells for it doesn't work except as a pointing device - the tip is too big, it lack sensitivity and doesn't have palm rejection. This is the biggest minus I have found for this tablet.

[@user-65ty5tyt5gt]

Review the Jide Remix.

[@deinemuddaisdoof]

Rather spend a bit more and get a Surface 3

[@ZulqarnainAidil]

You can really scare people when you detach the keyboard.

[@thorn3576]

There isn't even usb even though android supports usb connections e.g. external memory

[@felixmontana5310]

android is best in laptop this is future 👍👍👍

[@ReikazeRambles]

Way too overpriced. Really, I don't see why anyone would want this over a windows alternative given the price and flexibility, this should really be cheaper. I love android, even on tablets, but even I know that it's not as flexable of an OS as windows.

[@Devocional365am]

can you expand memory?

[@bmb49]

no android devices which are all sealed have expandable ram, are you instead asking about using microsd's?

[@stefan25769]

You can expand the memory with an micro sd card up to 512 gb

[@bmb49]

Memory is a vauge term. Storage space would be more accurate for micro sd's as memory usually refers to RAM. Also when such microsd's become available which I believe do not as of yet at this time exist. I wonder what sets the 512gb limit? Since most devices deceivingly say they can except up to "then state the current maximum available card eg 200gb microsd" when if fact older devices who were said to accept up to say 64gb when that was the max actually except current max sizes. Can't speak for all but that has been my expierence.

[@JLawlietK]

IMO, the surface is a better student machine

[@efdeecue]

Honestly Android right now is highly inferior to windows in the hybrid form factor, Android needs to spice up their desktop OS a lot to compete.

[@Kushari]

Android laptops don't make sense to me. Especially at that price point, Dell is delusional if they think it will sell well. I'd rather add 300$ and get the new Macbook, as it's a real OS and you can get real work done. Windows, OS X, Linux.

[@tatsumaru12345]

129$ for a keyboard with trackpad, my god. You can buy a nice tablet with bluetooth keyboard for that.

[@koditv1037]

thought the battery was 7000 mah?

[@caligula9085]

Looks a little overpriced for an android tablet/notebook but would prefer a keyboard with its own battery and compatibility with apps ( I know it's androids fault not dells)

[@jonson856]

since there are the real microsoft office apps(payed as well as free) android tablets (with keyboards) have become more usefull. but this android "laptop" is definately not worth it :S the cpu might be ok - its raw power shoule be on par with the snapdragon 800, but i dunno if android still runs better on the sd 800 than the intel. also: only 16gb memory, the display is nice but we have seen that in the nexus 10 as well as in my note 10.1 2014. I wish the people at Dell would at least implement some multi window optimisation so it really feels like a laptop. 350 or 400 with keyboard. that would be a fair price

[@blakethompson5724]

These are the tablets my school gave us

[@Altruistic00]

Holy duck, $629 for an android tablet with detachable bluetooth keyboard? Might as well just get a proper Windows tablet like the Surface 3 and the Type cover. Also that cylindrical battery, they totally copied from Lenovo Yoga tablet, which is awesome btw.

[@tadchristmas2496]

Laptop name
