Dell Venue 8 Pro Review - YugaTech | Philippines, Tech News &amp; Reviews *** OS, UI and Apps.  Running the latest Windows 8.1, the Venue 8 Pro basically has the same features and functionality as a laptop or PC, save a few differences like a touchscreen display. The Modern UI or Live Tiles worked fine for most of the common apps that we access on the tablet but we find ourselves switching to the Desktop Mode more often due to our familiarity with it. The split-screen mode also worked just fine.
