Solid price-storage ratio, Fairly slim and smart-looking, Quiet operation
Short cable, No rubber feet
The Toshiba Canvio Advance is a solid, highly portable drive for backup and laptop or desktop overspill. It's a few millimetres slimmer than old models, but don't buy one expecting substantially better performance than other USB 3.0 drives.There are a fai...

Affordable, full Windows 8.1 tablet, microSD slot and micro HDMI port, good screen viewing angles, ample screen brightness
Just fails to stand out, no USB port, performance can be slow, some bloatware, no stylus support, not most responsive touchscreen
The Toshiba Encore tablet lacks ambition, but also ticks enough boxes to make it a viable purchase. It just fails to excite, and with the various other options available on the market the Encore struggles to stand out. Which might sound somewhat da...

The first compact Windows 8 tablet we'd seriously consider buying, packing in usable performance and a generous software bundle for a very tempting price...

Decent screen, Fair price, Good processor
Poor performance in desktop mode, Looks cheap, Occasionally crashes
It's with somewhat of a heavy heart that we have to report that our search for a Windows 8 tablet saviour continues, with the Toshiba Encore falling short of a number of expectations. While the fact that it can run full Windows programs is at first a nic...

Just £250 for a portable PC that can run Windows may seem like an attractive idea, but our experience did not back up that proposition. Toshiba has used a cheap and slow processor to hit both price point and thermal design constraints, making a tablet tha...

Fulll Windows 8.1, expandable memory, reasonable price
On the chunky side, not as fast as it should be, less than full HD display
It's nice to see full-fat Windows 8.1 in a compact package but the Encore's sluggish performance often makes it frustrating to use, and a stylus like the one on the Microsoft Surface Pro 2 would have made it easier to navigate programmes which aren't op...
Reasonable performance, Good connectivity, Runs full Windows 8.1
Mediocre screen, Average battery life, Screen too small for full Windows apps
The Encore isn't a bad Windows tablet by any means, and there is something intriguing about having a usable Windows 8.1 PC in such a small and light form factor. But here's the problem: As a tablet it's going up against devices as light, powerful and ver...
Compact, runs full Windows 8.1, Office 2013 apps included, all-day battery life
Occasionally unresponsive, few I/O ports, small screen makes desktop difficult to use
Toshiba's Encore fits a Windows 8.1 PC into an 8in device that can be easily carried in one hand, yet still manages an all-day battery life. The inclusion of Office 2013 also makes it good value. On the downside, its sometimes sluggish performance and lac...
