This is a pretty good price for something with a tegra 4

Overall its still an inferior tablet to the nexus 7, but for a 8 inch tablet at this price you cant get anything better.

budget.

still, i'd think, given it's a tegra 4, it would be good for video playback.

Actually I dont know. Does the GPU intergrated in Tegra 4 support dual-channel RAM? How much RAM does the GPU need ? How much more RAM does 1600*1200 resolution need than 1024 768?

I bought a couple of the lower specs Slate 8 Open Box from BB for about $105 a few months ago but they updated to Android 4.4 w/o a problem. I suppose the Pro would also update to 4.4.2.

So if I understand correctly, in real life use Tegra 4 is more or less equivalent to Snapdragon 800 and Exynos Octa-core?

This would mean that it is a step above Bay Trail Quad Core atom Z3740D in Dell Venue Pro. On the other hand, 1gb of ram would be a major limiting factor in demanding applications, i.e. browsing while speaking on skype in background.

Too bad. I think I would still take the Dell Venue Pro 8,
