There’s a new affordable Windows 8.1 tablet that’s hit India and it’s called the Toshiba WT-8 which is certainly quite an odd-sounding device. Well, it appears to be part of the new Encore series, but it’s unknown why it doesn’t carry that branding in the country.
The company has partnered with Amazon to offer the Toshiba WT-8 as an exclusive. The Windows 8.1 tablet is quite similar to most others on the market, where performance is concerned, as it’s powered by a quad core Intel Atom Bay Trail which basically dominates this segment. And it’s attractively priced as it can be purchased for just Rs 15490.
That amount is nowhere near to what Notion Ink is asking for its Cain 8 slate, but it’s pretty nice considering that you get some great features. Apart from the fact that it runs a desktop OS and provides access to popular software, the Toshiba device can be used for just about any purpose.
