    Hi i was wondering i know the venue 11 pro is tablet
    and the xps 12 is convertible tablet and laptop in one
    So i am hoping
    that it's ok for me to post this in here
    i am ttrying to figure out info about both of these

    can some people perhaps help me out to understand more

    I have not yet recived my systems but i ordered both from the dell outlet
    i got
    the dell venue 11 pro i picked up from the dell outlet with the atom 3770 cpu quad core
    its got a 64 gig m SSD drive and 2 gigs of ram

    i also picked up a dell xps 12 from the outlet with the i3 4010 4th gen
    80 gig Mobile SSD 4 gigs of ram i got this after discounts and taxes was 521 for the xps 12

    and wondering i have looked at CPUBoss webpage to review the specs on both cpu's but don't really understand all that info

    from what i have gathered i understand the 11 pro tablet has the atom quad core and the xps i ordered has the i3 that is only a dual core cpu

    Can anyone tell me do you know how come dell doesn't offer the i3 in the xps new anymore is the i3 not a good combo for the xps12 ?
    did i end up getting myself into deep waters ordering this one with the i3 ?
    i am not doing any heavy gaming i might get on and play some video games once in a whyll but not much at all
    mostly i will be using this for
    School work Microsoft office
    Looking up recipes for school
    Surfing the web and emails

    i currently have a full size laptop that i can't really move around that much to hard to pack it up and walk out the house with it every day it's heavy
    i sold my ipad because i just don't like apple much.

    can you guys help me out with any experience between the 2 of the units i ordered please
    what you guys think

    the 1 thing i am a little mind boggled about is why the hell dell didn't put a sd card slot on the xps but awesome that it has 2 usb 3.0 full size on it

    the venue 11 pro has mico hdmi 1 full size usb 3.0 and a sd card
    but no keyboard

    i also have been reading about the screen issue on the xps where the immage burns in temporary but goes away after a whyll is this getitng better or if i have it i would just have to rely on dell to change a new screen ?
