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...

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

The Toshiba Encore 8 runs Windows 8.1, boasts zippy performance, and has a microSD storage expansion slot

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 ...
