Dell Venue 8 Pro receives firmware update for Touch Panel, reportedly fixes stylus issues


The Dell Venue 8 Pro (5830) is receiving a firmware update for its touch panel which brings the 1.0.4.1,A00 software version. The update is listed as 'urgent' and is said to  fix the issues that users have reportedly been facing with the Dell Active Stylus.

The Dell Venue 8 Pro is a full Windows 8.1 (32-bit) tablet with an 8 inch display , quad-core Atom processor and an affordable $299 price.

The optional battery operated Dell Active Stylus which is sold for $29.99, can be used to take notes or write out emails. While not as fast as physical keyboard, it’s often quicker than using the on-screen, virtual one, which is more common. The Dell Active Stylus takes a AAAA battery, which lasts up to one year, and it has buttons on board to simulate mouse clicks or erasing of content. Combined with the hover-sensing ability and palm rejection technology, many consumers are considering the Venue 8 Pro and Active Stylus as their go-to note taking device.



Now that Dell has reportedly fixed the issue, users should now be able to make the most of their portable Dell tablets. If any of you have the Venue 8 Pro, leave us a comment on your experience with the new update.
