Abstract: Lisa Gade compares three 8″ Windows 8.1 tablets, the Dell Venue 8 Pro, Lenovo Miix 2 8 and the Toshiba Encore. All run on a 1.33GHz Intel Atom Bay Trail quad core CPU with 2 gigs of RAM and 32 or 64 gigs of storage. They ship with Windows 8.1 32 bit, and ...
Abstract: Lisa Gade reviews the Toshiba Encore, a 8″ Windows 8.1 tablet running on the new Intel Atom Bay Trail quad core Z3740 1.33GHz CPU. Like the Dell Venue 8 Pro and Lenovo Miix 2 8, the tablet has a 1280 x 800 IPS touch screen, and 2 gigs of RAM and 32 or 64 ...
Abstract: At that price, you get just the tablet but there's a raft of optional extras available including case, Bluetooth keyboard and stylus. As it is, it's slightly slower than the HP, featuring Intel's 1.33GHz quad-core Atom Z3740 chip with 2GB of RAM and full ...

Another small and convenient dose of Windows 8 in a small space; Textured back; Decent battery life; Expandable memory;

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...
