2013-09-05
I'm Andrew Foyle the cnet and i'm here at the ether Tex show in berlin checking out the toshiba encore it's an 8-inch tablet packing full Windows 8.1 and comes with a satisfyingly low price the design wise is that a whole lot to get too worked up the bad see this back panel is quite plain although toshiba has said but it's going to have a different finish when it goes on sale around the edges you can see we've got HDMI port and we've got dual microphones and on the bottom there are dual Dolby speakers too it's a little weighty but you won't struggle to hold it in one hand for at least a little while the 8-inch screen has a 1280 by 800 pixel resolution which is a little disappointing but that is offset by its low priced it at least looks quite bright and reasonably bold inside is an intel atom processor and it's packing the latest version of Windows known as 8.1 we head over to the desktop we can see that the Start menu is finally back crucially though ill cost only 249 pounds of 329 dollars the 32 gigabyte model when it goes on sale in November I'm Andrew Hoyle 50 net and this is a Toshiba encore did it
