Intel is offering many features to Windows 8.1 tablets with a new holiday "Buying Guide."
Front and center are tablets (PDF) like the Dell Venue 8 Pro, HP Omni 10, and Lenovo Miix 2.
All of the tablets in the guide use new Intel Atom Z3000 quad-core "Bay Trail" processors.
The 8-inch Dell Venue (see CNET's hands-on here) is one of the highest profile Windows 8.1tablets to date because it boasts decent specs with a small price tag of $299 -- at least for a full-blown Windows 8.1 device.
Those specs include a quad-core Z3740D Bay Trail processor, an 8-inch 1,280x800-pixel-resolution IPS screen, 2GB of RAM, a full-size SD card slot, Micro-USB charging, and weight of about 0.9 pounds.
Though a resolution of 1,280x800 may seem inadequate compared with the 2,048x1,536 resolution of the 7.9-inch iPad Mini Retina, on an 8-inch screen it can more than enough for many people. (That comes to 188 pixels per inch for the Dell for those keeping score).
