back to article RealSense possibilities: Dell Venue 8 7000 8.4in Android tablet

These days, it seems like the world and his civil partner has a tablet to offer you, whether it's a bargain basement offering like the Tesco Hudl 2 or something more media-centric, like the Amazon Fire HDX 8.

    It's not pretty.

    The industrial aesthetic doesn't work for this device so taking it home for entertainment, reading and such is more of a end of line liquidation proposition. The Sony Z4 is much more in tune with looks good on the coffee table ideal but then the form factor is different too; so apples, oranges, and zebras I guess. Which is to say, ultimately, meh.

    "One of the sweet spots for tablet pricing seems to be around the £300–350 range, where you'll expect to get a decent-sized screen, at least 16GB of memory, reasonable performance and battery life "

    Are you sure about that? Because I thought at that price point, unless it is made by Apple, I would expect something totally top of the range, waaaay more than 16GB of memory - and amazing performance and stupendous battery life.
