Full Windows 8.1, expandable memory, budget price
Underpowered processor, soso screen, battery life not great, no camera flash, no 4G
The Toshiba Encore 2 is a solidly built workhorse of a tablet for a reasonable price. But while we can forgive the standard HD screen and odd placement of the Start button, the sluggish progress of the underpowered processor lets it down pretty badly. ...
Abstract: The cheaper licence helps keep the cost down compared to other Windows 8.1 tablets we've seen. It's around £70 less than the original Encore, for example, and around £20 less than the super-bargain Lenovo Miix 2 8 . Considering how easy it is to change yo...

Abstract: CHECK THE PART 1 OF THIS ARTICLEIn the first part of our best cheap tablets we took a look at the Nexus 7. Even though there are a lot of great tablets for this budget, none seemed to be on par with the Nexus 7, until now. Enter the Tesco Hudl 2! For a...
Surprisingly good screen quality for the price, Smart placement of charging port, Free year of Office 365, Decent battery life, Quality and volume of audio are respectable (at least, for video viewing in landscape mode)
Difficult to manipulate Windows 8.1 at this screen size, Not much usable storage, Single-stream-only 802.11n Wi-Fi connection, Poor camera

Abstract: When Microsoft made its announcement of a new Surface earlier this year, most were expecting a 7-inch Surface Mini. But instead, we got a larger Surface Pro 3 . Other manufacturers are making their own mini tablets that run full versions of Windows 8.1, a...
1GB RAM is a limit when multitasking, Small storage space, No digital A/V output (HDMI)
Toshiba have build a tidy, lightweight Windows 8 tablet with fast storage, a bright screen and good speakers that provides a smooth and enjoyable Windows RT experience and this might be enough for some but ultimately the price needs to drop for the WT8 to...
Abstract: Lisa Gade reviews the Toshiba Encore 2 8 inch Windows 8.1 tablet. The Encore 2 is more streamlined than the first gen Encore, and it weighs 13.4 ounces. The tablet has a 1280 x 800 IPS display and it runs Windows 8.1 32 bit on the quad core Intel Atom Bay...
Microsoft sparked a race to the bottom with the introduction of Windows 8.1 with Bing. And Toshiba cut the bottom out of the bottom line with its Encore 2 series, bringing Windows tablets down to the price of mainstream Android tablets. The 10-inch versio...
With the full version of Windows 8.1 and a free Office 365 subscription, the $200 Toshiba Encore 2 is a great value. But you should seriously consider what you intend to use it for before you buy. If you're in need of a Windows tablet and feel like an 8-i...
