Toshiba is one of the first manufacturers to an 8-inch tablet designed with Windows 8.1. Toshiba is therefore very quick and has opted for an Intel processor for this tablet. An Intel Bay Trail chip to see exactly, a chip that was introduced by Intel late last year and which Intel marks another step towards the mobile products.
Now I like the tablet for the first time in my I hand my first thought is not: “What an innovative product” , but rather, “Maybe Toshiba should have put some more time to spend on this tablet” , or remains to be seen. later in the review have also rightlyThe reason why I think, has to do with the first impression makes the tablet. The Toshiba Encore is quite a thick tablet, in addition, the bezels (the border around the screen) in my opinion too thick for an 8-inch tablet, and finally I find the tablet just not comfortable in the hand. I am therefore a priori not really excited about the Encore WT8.
price and competition
If we look at the price and competition from this tablet, then we must conclude that the biggest competitor for this tablet, the Acer Iconia W3 810. This is a tablet that I submitted earlier to a review and a rating of 4.6 is not really successful. I can already say in advance that the Toshiba Encore WT8 is a lot better than the Acer Iconia W3. The tablet works right out of the box, so I need to catch up anyway to get him. Working out any tricks In addition, the Toshiba has a newer Intel chip.
The MSRP of the Toshiba tablet is 299 euros, for Windows 8.1 tablet of this size to date a very reasonable price. There are now several manufacturers that an 8-inch tablet with Windows 8.1 have been released and they all have a price around 300 euros. Outside the Windows ecosystem, there are enough competitors to find with Android and iOS.

| Acer Iconia W3 (review) | Windows 8.1 | 249 euro |

| Lenovo IdeaPad Miix 2-8 | Windows 8.1 | 335 euro |
| Microsoft Surface 2 (review) | Windows 8.1 | 435 euro |
It is clear based on the above table, that the competition in this price range is quite large. Or Toshiba with this tablet is able to defeat the above competition will become clear. Later in this review
