Toshiba Encore 2 8 Specifications and information

Toshiba Encore 2 8 alternatives

Information from 27 May 2014.

The Toshiba Encore 2 8 is the first of the 2014 Windows 8 tablets on the refreshed Baytrail-T platform which is said to be smaller and cheaper for manufacturers. Performance is comparable with early 2014 Windows 8 tablets. The Encore 2 is lighter than the original Encore 8-inch but there's no HDMI and only a 1-year Office 365 package included rather than a full Home and Student licence.

A 64BG 2BG model is likely but not confirmed. Launch price $199.
