Okay, so it’s been a big week for Apple, admittedly, but if you were paying attention to the Intel Developers Conference in San Francisco, you might have heard about a pretty intriguing tablet from Dell.

Michael Dell himself walked out on stage at the Intel Developers conference this week, and unveiled the world’s thinnest tablet. Quite an announcement, right?

The newly announced Dell Venue 8 7000 Series is the thinnest tablet in the world at presence at just 6mm, and it certainly has some features that will make other tablets jealous.

The tablet boasts an 8.4inch 2560 x 1600 display screen and is powered by a powerful Intel Atom processor. Intels’s hardware allows the new 8 7000 tablet to use RealSense depth-mapping technology at the back of the tablet device. The RealSense uses three cameras to acquire extra depth information. This means that users can refocus parts of an image and apply filters, using the Dell Gallery software. The Dell Gallery mode also gives users real world dimensions of the objects they have clicked.

Unlike other tablets the Dell 8 7000 doesn’t have four even bezels around the device, it has extremely narrow bezels on three sides of the device, and a larger one on one of the other sides which encases the camera, front speaker and the internal hardware. Dell have also announced that there will be a larger 10inch version of the device, both will run on Android 4.4 on a quad-core 2.33GHz Intel Atom Z3580 processor, have Wi-Fi connectivity and 32GB of storage. At present there is no exact release date or price yet, but Dell did say the device would be available later this year.

It’s been quite week for announcements, at the same event, Intel announced that it had been collaborating with Google to develop the Intel Reference Design for Android, which will create a new reference tablet for Android developers and manufacturers to make it easier to bring Android tablets to market quicker.
