Venue 7 now includes a brighter display, however the resolution is still 1280x800p. There's an Intel Atom Z3460 dual-core processor, and MaxxAudio Pro enhancement. Rest of the specifications are same as previous version, which include 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, and microSD card slot. In fact, both tabs have 2GB of RAM, not 1GB, as mistakenly noted in your post.
