Engadget giveaway: win a Dell Venue 8 7000 courtesy of TurboTax!
Consider this a two-for-one. It's both a giveaway and a reminder to do those taxes. Of course, you don't have to make a trek down to the local accountants lair to get the job done anymore. Online and app-based services like TurboTax mobile help to simplify the traditionally tedious process, even if you're on the road. The app is available to those running iOS 8 or Android 4.1 (or above) and since it's on the cloud, you could start on mobile and finish later on your computer. With it, you can snap a photo of your W-2 and the app will pull in the data leaving you to answer a few simple questions about your life before securely e-filing your return. TurboTax has even provided us with two Dell Venue 8 7000 (7840) tablets so a pair of Engadget readers can file while gazing at its crisp 2,560 x 1,600 display. They'll also be able to use its depth-sensing 8-megapixel camera to capture some nature shots after having knocked out those taxes so quickly. Serenity finally is now! Winners: congratulations to Christopher H. of Highland, UT. and Devon D. of Saint George, UT.
Hands-on with the Dell Venue 8 7000 tablet and Intel RealSense
If you've been on vacation even once in the last four years, you've seen it: tourists whipping out awkward tablets with subpar cameras to capture what can only be the worst photographs. Tablets aren't known for their stellar imaging capabilities, but Dell and Intel's next joint effort may change that, at least to some degree. During this morning's Intel Developer Forum keynote, Dell CEO Michael Dell and Intel CEO Brian Krzanich will preview a new tablet: the Dell Venue 8 7000 series. At 6mm thick, the new slate is purported to be the world's thinnest tablet. It's also the first device to feature Intel RealSense -- a photo technology that creates a depth map within every image it takes. Krzanich gave me a quick preview of the device before today's keynote.
