Without the pen is not included with the desktop is practically not operated because the screen it then but is too small. You can install a virtual touchpad, which is however not provided by Microsoft, but comes from dubious sources in China. The 30-euro peg is significantly greater than that of Samsung, AAAA is battery operated and works quite passable. For me, the writing feeling with the Samsung pins is better. The Dell pen produces an unpleasant clacking in the long run on the glass of the screen. For the logical breakthroughs in the font input between Touch apps and desktop Dell can not, but for the positioning of the two buttons on the pen, which can all too often suppressed involuntary because the keys sit exactly where you put your fingers around the pin , Speaking of fingers, or better hand on the desktop when you push pen input happy times with the palm of any things. Identifying and stopping such incorrect entries works significantly better with the Samsung.
Connecting a Bluetooth keyboard was seamless. However, uses the little, because the screen with 125% magnification is so small that you can not put fashion on the table for laptop tablet with keyboard in front of it. Who wears the idea to buy a case with keyboard, should try this combo before. Optionally, you can also build a 10-inch tablet in 3 meters distance and then try to tap texts on the keyboard. The effect on the eyes is likely to be the same. This tablet is made for the use in front of the nose.
The purpose of the hardware Windows key does not want me to rise. In the same area are located on the front of the ambient light sensors, which are like concealed times when pressing the up / down keys and so funny light / dark provokes change of the screen. The keys have a rich after all click, unlike the rubber keys of the Samsung 2014th
The 32 GB are fully sufficient. On my Dell Office 2013 Home preinstalled and I practically filled with the entire Portable list. The Samsung Note 2014 has 16GB space. More is better, of course, but that's what SD cards. That one is there can draufspielen no apps, but is irrelevant because there is nothing useful in the Microsoft Store anyway. Microsoft itself provides only rudimentary apps like Outlook and a really very simple image viewer. Not even a touch capable file manager there. The apps from the Store are light years away from the functionality of the Android counterparts, cost money and nerves with begging windows including oversized banners. Well, at least for the desktop, there is the well-known free software. But as I said, for the shortcomings of the operating system can not Dell. On the positive side here the Dell Update Service, the driver is easily updated in the background. Pity is the decision for a 32-bit EFI, which still effectively prevents a parallel installation of Linux at the moment.
An HDMI port would have been nice and would have substantiated the claim of Pro (= business). You could connect a USB video card if need be. Miracast is indeed cute, but I have not seen in any conference room with a projector Miracast receiver.
Overall, a mixed conclusion. In the absence of real Linux Tablets I would buy it again. The hardware braces everything you installed on your work software on the full Windows desktop. The pen input works okay. For a business tablet the HDMI port is missing. Office 2013 is again a strong argument for the tablet. The cameras are enough to skype or so times to take a picture from the whiteboard. The speaker makes to its name and is really very loud for its size.
