Dell Cast turns Dell Android tablets into desktop computers


There are plenty of devices on the market like the Chromecast that are designed to toss the content you watch on your smartphone or tablet to the big screen in your living room for a larger image. Dell has stepped into the market with a new product called Dell Cast that is aimed at the business user.


Dell Cast isn't meant solely for tossing cat videos from your smartphone to the big screen, it's designed to turn your tablet into a desktop computer using your HDMI equipped monitor or TV. Dell Cast supports input using a keyboard and mouse.



To use the device, you connect it to a HDMI port on your TV or monitor and then run an app on the tablet. Content and apps are then mirrored on the larger screen. Once you are done working, you can use the Dell Cast to shoot your favorite games or video to the big screen.


Dell Cast supports full 1080p HD resolution and it has a single USB port on the bottom of the device. That means if you want a mouse and keyboard, you will want to use a wireless pair with a unified receiver. One major downside to the Dell Cast is that it will only work with Dell's Venue line of tablets. Specific models that are compatible include the Venue 7 and 8 tablets. Dell Cast sells for $79.99.
