However, the tablet's low-power graphics processor couldn’t really cope with the intro video and animations could be jerky. In Blizzard's Hearthstone electronic fantasy card game, for example, the in-game interface works fine and the game is playable.

PC titles with touchscreen modes are beginning to appear, however. Unfortunately, unless the title is designed specifically for a touchscreen, you'll run into difficulties in the Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition, for example, you can't move the cursor around the screen without clicking, leading to much mis-clicking on objects, and it’s not possible to access in-game menus to save. Tablet-specific games from the Microsoft Store, such as rock-hard tower defence title Radiant Defense, are of course fine, but we were also hoping to play some traditional PC titles. You also have to be careful which games you install. ^ Hearthstone is now optimised for Windows touchscreens, and runs reasonably on the Encore 2 Plugging in a keyboard or mouse is also tricky as the tablet has no full-size USB port, so you have to make do with Bluetooth peripherals designed for tablets unlike the Surface Pro 3, this isn’t the tablet that can replace your laptop.
You have to be careful with your prodding to make sure you hit the option you need.

This means that, for example, you could forget about Office 365 and use LibreOffice, or use the full version of Windows Media Player instead of the more limited tablet-specific versions.īecause none of the applications above are designed for a touchscreen, they can be fiddly to use.
Office 365, for example - a free 1-year subscription comes with the tablet - was occasionally laggy, if easy to use with the touchscreen.Īs the tablet runs the full version of Windows, you have the luxury of choosing from tablet-specific apps from the Store, or using any traditional Windows application that takes your fancy. The tablet's small 1GB RAM could prove to be a sticking point, however.

The Encore 2 has no problem running Windows 8.1 smoothly and dealing with complicated web pages, or playing HD video from the BBC iPlayer website (there's no official Windows 8.1 iPlayer tablet app yet). This is a powerful mobile processor, as shown by its score of 19 in our benchmarks - as much as we see from some laptops. Inside is a quad-core "Bay Trail" Intel Atom processor, coupled with 1GB RAM. The design isn't going to set the world alight the tablet's chassis and the bezel aren’t particularly thin and the plastic rear proved easy to scratch, but there's no flex in the chassis. The Encore 2 feels reasonably well made for an inexpensive tablet. Considering how easy it is to change your default search in IE (with the little down arrow next to the magnifying glass in the address bar), we think the new operating system version is a bit of a bargain. It's around £70 less than the original Encore, for example, and around £20 less than the super-bargain Lenovo Miix 2 8. The cheaper licence helps keep the cost down compared to other Windows 8.1 tablets we've seen.

The user can, of course, change the search engine in IE or install whatever browser they want once they get the tablet home. Toshiba's new 8in Encore 2 WT8-B-102, which replaces the Encore we reviewed in January, is the first tablet we’ve seen running "Windows 8.1 with Bing". This is a lower-cost version of Microsoft's operating system, which manufacturers are allowed to install on their tablets as long as they leave Bing as the default search engine in Internet Explorer the normal licence doesn't have this stipulation.
