"The Toshiba Encore puts Windows in your pocket \u2014 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.\nThe Encore is made to run Windows 8.1, the first big update to Windows 8 coming this fall. Windows 8.1 brings support for small-screen Windows tablets like the Encore and Acer's Iconia W3, and with those smaller designs come lower prices: the Encore will be $329.99 when it's on store shelves in November.\nSee also: Technostalgia: 20 Misty Memories of Personal Computing\nToshiba is positioning the Encore as an ideal on-the-go machine for work and play, optimized for video chat with a 2-megapixel front-facing camera and pre-loaded with home and student edition of Office 2013. The screen is 1,280 x 800 LCD, and it weighs just more than a pound at 16.9 ounces.\nSince the Encore is powered by the latest Intel Atom processor (a.k.a \"Bay Trail\"), it runs full Windows 8 (as opposed to Windows RT), meaning it can run older apps made for Windows 7 or XP. There's 32GB of storage, ports for micro USB and micro HDMI as well as a microSD card slot.\nDo you think the Encore and other small-screen Windows 8.1 tablets will get any traction? Let us know in the comments.\n\nImages: Toshiba"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
