  • Good performance from Intel's Bay Trail SoC. Surprisingly great camera for a tablet. Windows 8.1 has a strong feature set
  • Chubby, uninspiring design. Disappointing display resolution. The Windows desktop is tricky to use on a small screen.
  • Toshiba's first foray into the world of 8-inch Windows 8.1 tablets isn't the fantastic product the company was hoping for. The drab, chubby design is particularly uninspired, failing to make an impression up against slimmer and more portable competition...

  • Lots of ports onboard for an 8-inch tablet, Long battery life, Built-in GPS, Includes license for Microsoft Office Home & Student
  • Thicker and heavier than competing 8-inch tablets, Display color looks flat, Screen not as bright as some on competing tabs
  • If battery life matters most to you, the Encore is a decent choice among 8-inch Windows tablets, but its weight and physical design make it feel like an older model. ...

  • The Toshiba Encore 8 runs Windows 8.1, boasts zippy performance, and has a microSD storage expansion slot
  • The design is bulkier and heavier than most other small tablets. With no keyboard accessory, desktop mode is a headache to navigate
  • The Toshiba Encore 8 offers a lot for its price, but the more appealing Dell Venue 8 Pro is a cheaper and sleeker alternative.

  • Full Windows 8, All-day battery life, Good connectivity
  • Plasticky design, Screen should be brighter, Rival tablets better for business
  • Toshiba's Encore tablet might not be a looker, with a cheap-feeling plastic build, but it's an affordable way to enjoy full Windows on a tablet. You can download and install any PC software, and enjoy it over ridiculously long journeys thanks to the excel...

  Published: 2014-01-05, review by: mobilephonereviewss.com

  • Abstract:  The Encore isn't a sleek and sexy budget tablet. It's chunkier and does less to hide its all-plastic heritage than the competition. It's also a few ounces heaver. Toshiba and stylish aren't two words we often get to put in the same sentence. That said, it...

  • Overall the Toshiba Encore WT8, and this could apply to all Windows 8.1 8-inch tablets, doesn't quite feel like a polished consumer tablet. It's a little too big and there are avenues of usage that can lead to problems unless the user has experience with...
