Toshiba’s Encore
Toshiba’s Encore (also shown at top) was the first tablet announced with Windows 8.1 and Bay Trail. The tablet has an 8-inch screen, weighs about 17 ounces and is 0.4 inches thick. The screen displays images at a resolution of 1280 by 800 pixels, and the company says the tablet is good for Skype videoconferencing with features that include dual-array microphones.
Toshiba hasn’t measured battery life yet, but Intel claims Bay Trail tablets will offer more than eight hours of run time and weeks of standby.
The tablet has an 8-megapixel back camera and a 2-megapixel front camera. Other features include Micro USB 2.0, Micro HDMI, and MicroSD slots. The tablet also comes with Office Home and Student 2013.
Encore starts at $329.99 (299$ was on Amazon) with 32GB of storage, though the Windows OS will take up a large chunk of the storage. It will be available in November through Toshiba’s website and retail stores.
