Dell adds Core M to the Venue 11 Pro tablet

Dell has a new version of its Venue 11 Pro 7000 tablet, making the switch from Intel’s Atom line of low-power CPUs to the just-launched Core M.

The Core M CPU is part of Intel’s next-gen Broadwell line, but separate from the familiar Core i3/i5/i7 chips found in many laptops and hybrids. Instead, Core M is supposed to offer mainstream performance in a low-power chip that can run for a long time, and efficiently enough to not need internal system fans.

 

 

Despite the switch, the external chassis of the new Venue 11 Pro is the same as the previous version, which received a favorable review in early 2014. Of that model, with the lower-powered Atom CPU, we said: “In everyday use, the Venue 11 Pro works as well as any comparable product, and also has a few distinct advantages, including a solidly built chassis and an add-on keyboard that makes it feel much more like a laptop than the Surface does. Most importantly, it has a default full-HD 1,920×1,080-pixel display, which is something very rarely found in a screen this size.”
