The Toshiba Encore Mini comes with modest design and specifications. It looks like your ordinary tablet with glass upfront, rounded curvy corners, and textured back. For its display, it features a 7" inch LCD.
A 1.33 GHz Intel Baytrail Atom 3735G Processor with Integrated Graphics serves its core hardware coupled with 1GB RAM and 16GB Internal Storage. As for optics, it is features a 2MP rear and VGA front camera. WiFi and Bluetooth serves its wireless connectivity. Its MicroUSB 2.0 port supports USB OTG to extending its capabilities with USB peripherals but it is used as its charging port and so wouldn't be able to use OTG when its plugged.
The Encore Mini houses a 13 W-hours Lithium Polymer Non Replaceable Battery with up to 7.3 hours of battery life.
On the software side, Windows 8.1 with Bing OS is on board together with a one year subscription to Office 365 Personal to give you complete Windows experience.
Toshiba had to cut down on Encore Mini by eliminating some features like external display, dedicated power port, and lowering RAM and resolution with only WSVGA (1024 x 600) arrive at its lowest offer.
In the nutshell, Toshiba Encore Mini for 6,850 - 7,500 gives you an entry level but a full blown Windows 8.1 Portable Tablet for cheap.
