I'm surprised how little this sale is being mentioned. $199 for a Dell Venue 8 7840 is awesome. Mine is due to arrive tomorrow.
For $200 you really can't beat this tablet. Nvidia has also dropped there price down to $200 which I think shows how slow the tablet market has become. In doing my research to buy this tablet I really only found the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8 as a better tablet at twice the price.Eyes wide open folks .... I own one of these and it has some nice features including a killer screen. However nothing from Dell in regards to Marshmallow upgrade. In the absence of guidance from Dell You must assume this tablet will remain on 5.1
Had I known that I definitely would not have purchased this tablet.
Also --- 16 Gig internal storage is insufficient.... not all apps will accept transfer to on board SDHC card
Just sayin
The only feature that I think would make my life better by having Marshmallow is the virtualization of external and internal memory in to one massive blob. Then I wouldn't have to move apps to the SD card as much.
