So for Christmas last year i purchased 2 venue 8's. one for my son and one for my daughter. One 16gb, one 32. A little more than a year later they are both dead.

Both died the same exact way. First, started shutting off at about 36% battery. Then a few weeks later just died. The tablets will attempt to boot, but wont boot up completely. Just see the dell and intel animations over and over. Did a reset from initial boot but that didn't really help.

Dell, why did you make a tablet? It just makes you look bad when they all fail. Do you think I will ever spend money on a dell tablet again? I know lots of people with IPad 2's still going 5 years on. And I have 2 malfunctioning venue 8 7840's in a year and a half.
