The Encore also happens to be the first 8 inch tablet that Toshiba has come up with. The core processor is a quad core Z3740 chip from the Intel Atom line of CPU’s. Other than that the tablet also has 2 GB of RAM along with 32 GB of internal memory. The latter can be further expanded to a maximum of 32 GB via micro SD cards.

It also has an added Intel HD Graphics card to handle the graphics processes. It features two cameras which has become quite standard these days. An 8 mp camera adorns the read while at the front, there is a 2 mp camera for video chats and self portraits. On the ‘port’ side, the Encore features a micro HDMI port that will let the tablet be connected to an external display. A micros USB 2.0 port is also available for connecting external devices to it. For sound recording it comes with dual microphones.

The Encore is also quite handy, weighing just 1.1 pounds though just for comparison’s sake, the new iPad Air with a bigger display is less than a pound in weight. There is also the Acer Iconia W4 tablet running Windows which too is a bit lighter than the Toshiba Encore. The Dell Venue 8 Pro which also features a similar setup of an 8 inch display, Intel Bay Trail chip and Windows 8.1 OS is lighter while being priced at the same $300.
