Toshiba is no stranger to Windows tablets, but what we've seen to date has typically been targeted at businesses or has otherwise been... limited. In that sense, the Encore is something special. It's not just the company's first 8-inch Windows tablet -- i...

Chubby, uninspiring design. Disappointing display resolution. The Windows desktop is tricky to use on a small screen.
Toshiba's first foray into the world of 8-inch Windows 8.1 tablets isn't the fantastic product the company was hoping for. The drab, chubby design is particularly uninspired, failing to make an impression up against slimmer and more portable competition...
