  • Larger screen than other Chromebooks, Nice design, Good boot times and battery life from Haswell-based processor, Desktop-class browser
  • Display shows screen-door effect, No touch screen, No 3G/4G/LTE option
  • The Toshiba CB35-A3120 Chromebook can act as the primary computer of a home user or student, particularly if you have near-constant access to Wi-Fi. Close to the top choice, the 13-inch CB35-A3120 Chromebook comes highly recommended...

  • Decent screen, Fair price, Good processor
  • Poor performance in desktop mode, Looks cheap, Occasionally crashes
  • Thanks to the solid-state eMMC memory on which Windows 8.1 is installed, the Toshiba Encore wakes up and loads Windows 8.1 nice and quickly – an essential feature for tablet PCs, and it's good to see that Toshiba's hardware and Microsoft's software workin...

  • Abstract:  Window 8 tablets have had a short and troubled life. Complicated devices, gimped operating systems and confusing advertising have all made buyers understandably wary since the operating system's launch 18 month ago. There's a light at the end of the tunne...

  • 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....

  • In terms of where the Encore sits in the market, you get a decent amount of kit for your dollar. This is no RT tablet — you get a 4th-gen Atom CPU and the full windows 8.1 suite all designed for productivity in a more manageable form factor. Windows snap...

  • Going into this review was I half expected that I was going to be disappointed with the Encore. I have not always been the biggest fan of Windows 8, and I am pretty heavily invested in the iOS ecosystem. My expectations were more than met; this little dev...

  • 3/5 Whether the Toshiba Encore is right for you comes down to whether you are looking for a tablet or for a mini computer. If you want something to browse the web in front of the TV, then we recommend you stick with a comparably priced Android tablet o...

  • The Toshiba Encore is the company's first attempt in the small-sized Windows tablet market. Although the market is not that competitive in contrast to traditional notebooks, Toshiba faired only average in terms of performance, pricing and features. It's ...

  • Budget devices are always about compromises, because if you want it all, you've got to pay accordingly.At its price point, the 64GB Encore tablet is a quite attractive buy. I can't quite say the same for the 32GB model once you take the storage hit for Wi...
