Toshiba announces Excite 10, 7.7 and 13 tablets, Thrive slates on their way out (http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/10/toshiba-excite-7-7-10-13-announced/)
Toshiba Excite 10 ICS tablet goes on sale, prices start at $450 for 16GB model (http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/07/toshiba-excite-10-ics-tablet-on-sale/)
Toshiba AT200 review (http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/23/toshiba-at200-review/)
In the tablet market, big as it is, one notion generally holds true: thinner equals better. Toshiba, for example, surely tried to equate a svelte silhouette with a premium product in its super-slim Excite 10 LE (http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/23/toshiba-at200-review/). And indeed, its 1.18-pound body and solid Honeycomb experience add up to tablet that puts Toshiba's earlier Thrives to shame. That $530 model is definitely priced like a high-end tablet, but it's accompanied by a new, lower-priced Toshiba slate, the Excite 10.
For $450, you get a tablet with a tad more meat on its bones, but that increase in weight and thickness comes with some more powerful specs: a quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor with 1GB of RAM -- not to mention Ice Cream Sandwich. While you can probably guess which of these slates makes a stronger contender (hint: the one without the "LE"), figuring out the Toshiba Excite 10's place in the grand hierarchy of tablets takes a little more exploration. Luckily, that's what we're here for, so join us past the break as we do our best to get through the review without a single "excite" pun.
