Dell gets it...finally a tablet for the enterprise user
I think the new Dell Venue 11 Pro tablet is a winner. A company does innovative things when it's losing market share, and Dell has done well by releasing a product that many enterprise users are waiting for.
Enterprise users are done with underpowered iPad toys with quirky little 99 cent apps. While cool and it gives another time sink for our idle lives, the Venue 11 Pro promises real work in tablet form, much like the Surface Pro.
The main difference between Microsoft's tablet and Dell's? The Venue 11 Pro has replaceable batteries, giving you more mobility. You aren't tied to a power outlet. Secondly, there's 3G/LTE capabilities, meaning unlike the Surface Pro, you can access the Internet natively through a data plan.
Power. Mobility. Connectivity.
Goodbye iPad, you're just a stepping stone for something greater.
The tablet release date is tentatively
UPDATE #1: Looks like certain configurations are now available. I still don't see the 8GB RAM and 250GB SSD HD spec on there though. Furthermore, the ship date seems to be on December 13th. If you can't wait for this, the best next step is buying the Razer Edge Pro 256GB.
UPDATE #2: Here's more information from a Dell representative on when the high-end configurations would be available.

Thanks for posting! The Venue 11 is on my extremely short list of possible Windows 8 tablets.

This could finally be the answer to my Galaxy 10 nightmare. The speed and productivity I need for less than iPad :-)
hopefully with this my wait is over looking for a decent windows tablet small enough for casual use and powerful enough for development work. thanks for sharing :)
Agreed. This looks like a winner in the corporate space. Been waiting for the Pro 11 to come along, think it may finally be a device that is a tablet as well as a laptop. Cant wait!
