The editors didn't like

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...

Solid price-storage ratio, Fairly slim and smart-looking, Quiet operation
Short cable, No rubber feet
The Toshiba Canvio Advance is a solid, highly portable drive for backup and laptop or desktop overspill. It's a few millimetres slimmer than old models, but don't buy one expecting substantially better performance than other USB 3.0 drives.There are a fai...

Affordable, full Windows 8.1 tablet, microSD slot and micro HDMI port, good screen viewing angles, ample screen brightness
Just fails to stand out, no USB port, performance can be slow, some bloatware, no stylus support, not most responsive touchscreen
The Toshiba Encore tablet lacks ambition, but also ticks enough boxes to make it a viable purchase. It just fails to excite, and with the various other options available on the market the Encore struggles to stand out. Which might sound somewhat da...
