Toshiba's new 7-inch Windows 8.1 tablet, the Encore Mini, is now on sale for just $119, which includes a 1.33GHz quad-core Intel Atom CPU, 1GB of RAM, 16GB storage and up to 7 hours of battery life



From Neowin:

Earlier this month, at the IFA consumer electronics trade show in Berlin, Toshiba unveiled one of the most affordable Windows devices ever. Priced at just $119.99, the 7-inch Encore Mini tablet comes with Windows 8.1 with Bing - the fully-featured version of the OS introduced after Microsoft dropped its OS licensing fees for devices under 10-inches.

The new device has now gone on sale via the Microsoft Store, and you'll even save 99 cents compared with the price stated in the press release, as it will only set you back $119.

However, do not be misled by the erroneous entry in the spec list on the Microsoft Store site, which states that the Encore Mini has a "WSVGA LED-backlit (768x1280)" display. The bit in the brackets is wrong - the tablet does have a display with WSVGA resolution, but this is actually 1024x600px, which is the resolution that Toshiba has confirmed.
