Slate tablets are becoming a niche product in the business space and 2-In-1 computers will become the preferred mobility device many workplaces, according to Dell. With that in mind, the computing vendor will be discontinuing its Venue Android tablets range. Here are the details.

Considering how oversaturated the tablets space is, Dell’s announcement that it is ditching its Venue Android tablet line is not that surprising. Tablet sales are waning and there are plenty of cheap Android tablets flooding the market. In a blog post, the company justified its decision, claiming slate tablets just don’t provide the same level of productivity as 2-in-1 computers.
Kirk Schell, Dell vice president and general manager for commercial client solutions, said in the post:
Current owners of a Dell Venue Android tablet will miss out on further software updates and operating system upgrades. Dell will continue its Windows-based Venue tablet range.
