The Toshiba Encore puts Windows in your pocket — but it needs to be a big pocket. The tablet’s screen measures 8 inches, but the idea is to put Windows into a form factor that’s much more portable than, say, the Surface.
The Encore is made to run Windows 8.1, the first big update to Windows 8 coming this fall.
