"While in transit, you can enjoy your favorite movies and shows on the brilliant HD and Full HD displays, optimized for brighter, better viewing angles."

The Venue 8 carries a resolution of 1920 x 1200, not 1280 x 800 like you've written.

The previous Venue 8 had 2 GB of RAM. Why would they upgrade the display and processor while reducing the RAM?

Got the pricing wrong, too -- it's $159.99 for the 7 and $199.99 for the 8. Shouldn't copy and paste old articles. The 1 GB RAM is not a major thing, BTW. It will run just fine but your apps may take a few seconds longer to load. Dell made some pretty major upgrades for what is essentially a budget tablet -- they had to cut corners somewhere to make their price point.

Only if they ran Windows 8 instead...
Try reading the whole article, dude!

I did, I'm not talking about the $250 Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet, I'm talking about the $159 for the 7". Microsoft offered OEMs free Windows 8.1 on tablets under 8", so they "could" install Windows on a $159 one
