Abstract: As the year draws to a close I'm frantically trying to finish the full review of the Toshiba WT8. It's taking longer than expected for a number of reasons, not least is the fact that there's just so much to this tablet. So many usage scenarios, so much dy...
Abstract: I've tested a number of Baytrail devices and, as always with a new platform, there's potentially a difference between the over-excited experience at the launch event and real-life usage; Sometimes it's disappointing. In this case, I'm extremely excited be...

Another small and convenient dose of Windows 8 in a small space; Textured back; Decent battery life; Expandable memory;
Feels cheap in plastic; No microUSB to full-size USB converter included; No 802.11ac;
Toshiba’s first crack at the 8 inch Windows tablet is a successful one, but it’s a pretty ordinary tablet, and really is just playing variations on a theme. That theme appears to be building an 8 inch Windows tablet, which Toshiba has totally done, bu...
