The Venue 11 Pro has Bluetooth, 802.11 a/b/g/n, and WiDi on board, and is also wired for broadband. The back of the Venue 11 Pro is given over largely to a pressure-fit plastic panel that pops off to reveal the 36-watt-hour battery, as well as access to other components, though the only thing you can get to without further disassembly is the micro-SIM card. On the left are a full-sized USB 3.0 port (a definite upside to the half-inch thickness), micro-USB port (used for charging the unit), mini-HDMI port, the volume control rocker, and the headset jack. The lower edge of the tablet has only the docking port and auxiliary battery connection points. The right side is home to the power button, micro-SD card slot (hidden behind a plug) and reset pinhole. The Venue features an 8MP rear-facing camera and a 2MP front-facing Webcam. The low end there offers an Atom Z3775D CPU, a 1366×768, 10.8-inch display, 2GB of RAM, and 32GB SSD for a mere $429. If you can live with about half the performance, you can get into the Venue 11 Pro for about half the cash via the 5000 series. The Dell Venue is as thick as Boston clam chowder, but it does play the part of a laptop fairly well. Dell has even fixed the issue I saw last August, where you couldn’t click the touchpad if you were too far toward a lower corner. The keyboard types quite nicely and the touchpad is responsive. However, it contributes an auxiliary 28-watt-hour battery to the mix for increased run time.

The keyboard also adds about a quarter-inch to the general thickness, and a full three-quarters of an inch at the hinge. The $160 Travel keyboard it mates with to form what is, in essence, a very nice small laptop, weighs an additional 1.75 pounds. The Venue 11 Pro on its own is 0.45-inch thick and weighs 1.57 pounds. Indeed, the Venue 11 Pro is a laptop in tablet’s clothing-with all the advantages and disadvantages that implies.

Or overheat trying to process the larger spreadsheets and video/photo work that the Venue series shrugs off with a yawn. If lightweight tablets laugh behind the somewhat chunky Dell Venue 11 Pro’s back, just wait until they crack their skinny heads against something the Venue 11 Pro won’t even notice.
