Portable size, Fullfat Windows 8.1, Reasonable price, Expandable storage
Disappointing screen resolution, Small size makes using desktop applications difficult, Fat, uninspiring design, Some apps sluggish
The Toshiba Encore is probably the most portable way to use full Windows 8.1, but while its small screen size makes it easy to carry, it also makes using traditional desktop apps very difficult. It's handy for social networking, but don't expect it to rep...
If Microsoft wish to enter the smaller tablet market and make a serious presence they need to make them alot smaller and alot better in terms of performance. Especially considering if you're after a basic tablet then there are a number of better Android ...
Abstract: Toshiba launched the 8-inch Encore tablet at IFA 2013, featuring an AutoBrite display with 1280 x 800p resolution. From our experience, the screen was sharp, the colours were bright and the viewing angles good at 170-degrees. It isn't the Full HD resoluti...
Abstract: The Toshiba Encore is a fantastic tablet in every respect, being affordable, portable and powered by the resourceful Intel Baytrail processor, which provides solid performance and battery life. Multitask with ease, browse the web at high speed and soak up...

The Encore is a jack-of-all-trades, and master of none; while there are few things it does badly, it's not so good in any one area that you'd choose it over other small Windows tablets....
Abstract: Toshiba's 8-inch Encore tablet runs full-blown Windows, so it can run desktop applications other than the version of Office that's bundled with Windows RT on ARM-based tablets such as Microsoft's Surface 2 .With 32GB (£249) and 64GB (£299) options availab...
Decent battery life, HDMI port and microSD, 8MP camera performs well, Goodsounding speakers, loud and clear
Text not as crisp as its competitors, and hard to read in some apps, Bulky compared to other tablets in its class, Some performance issues, like in Microsoft Outlook
I came in with really low expectations on the Toshiba Encore 8, but after using it, it's actually quite the contender for the small tablet space thanks to it's decent overall performance and battery life. If you are looking for something that can run the...
