Toshiba / Reviews

The AT300SE is nice enough to navigate, but with a less than durable finish, uninspiring video and Toshiba dropping ports such as microHDMI, it just doesn’t represent great value for money. We’d recommend trying a smaller tab or spending more on the Google Nexus 10.

The older Excite 10 started at $450 for 16GB onboard storage, in May 2012. The Excite 10 SE's starting price of $349 doesn't seem like that much of a bargain almost a year later, especially since the older Excite 10 was overpriced for the Android tablet market. If you end up with an Excite 10 SE, it's a serviceable Android tablet: it's just not a great one, and its numerous corner-cut features, including an older processor and lower-res display, don't add up to anything special in 2013.

Video grumbles aside, if you don’t have the budget to stretch to the likes of the Apple iPad or Asus Transformer, then the Toshiba marries price with capacity to passable effect. A decent entry-level machine.

Toshiba is doing it. It's taken a year, but the firm is slowly pushing out tablets we'd be happy to recommend. The AT300 is nearly there, the battery life is good, it looks nice, it's well-built. As a tablet that competes with the likes of Apple and Samsung, it's slightly too expensive, and we think that will hamper sales. But if you do spend your money on the AT300, we'd no longer consider it a waste.

In a year's time, Toshiba may very well be a real threat to Samsung. It's slowly pushing through all the pain, and seems to learn each time. The AT300 is, in our view, worth considering, but we'd say if there are deals on other tablets you'll find the likes of Asus and Samsung more appealing.

A great improvement, colour us impressed.

The ability to increase storage or simply view your photos via full-size SD card is nice, and performance is good. The screen isn't the best we've seen, although it's far from bad, so if you're specifically after a 10-inch tablet, you won't be disappointed. If you can live with a 7in screen, the Nexus 7 has the same resolution and processor for considerably less cash.

Toshiba hasn’t skimped on the Excite 7.7. It is a fantastic tablet that hits the mark in almost every way. The battery life isn’t the best, but everything else about this tablet is great, especially its screen and build. It’s one of the lightest and best-feeling tablets we’ve used. The Excite 7.7′s only sin is its price ($500), which was a bit high a few weeks ago, but now seems prohibitively expensive when you consider that the Google Nexus 7 is priced at $200 and matches most of the Excite’s high-end features. In a bid to fight against Amazon’s Kindle Fire and the iPad, Google has inadvertently gone to war with every Android tablet on the market. Bottom line: if you can afford the Excite 7.7, it’s a great tablet and has some advantages over the Nexus 7, but Toshiba may find that it’s difficult to sell a tablet for $300 more than its direct competitors.

This tablet has a killer display, excellent performance, and an extremely comfortable form factor - so, what's wrong with it? Sadly, the price will be the downfall of this amazing little machine. This is, hands down, one of the best tablets I've ever used. However, with the $200 Nexus 7 on the horizon, it's almost impossible to recommend a similarly spec'd and sized tablet at more than double the price - you could buy two 16GB Nexus 7s for the price ofone16GB Excite 7.7! As much as I love nearly everything about this device, it pains me to say it, but, this is an incredible tablet that no one will buy. It literally makes me feel sad that Toshiba priced this little guy out of the market the way it did.

No longer regarded as a newcomer in the Android tablet scene, Toshiba is doing a great job in building up its reputation with its new line of Excite tablets. Just like its names, there’s a lot of excitement surrounding the diminutive Toshiba Excite 7.7, as it boasts top-notch hardware in a compact body. From its rigorous performing quad-core processor to its stunning “AutoBrite” AMOLED display, there are a lot of things that reels us into this tablet. However, we’re stopped dead in our tracks as we look upon the expensive $450 price point attached to this base 16GB Wi-Fi only version. At this level, it’s going to be a hard sell for most people, seeing that you can pick up things like the Asus Transformer Prime for $50 more – or on the other end of the spectrum, pay considerably less for something like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. Nowadays, pricing is such an instrumental figure in making a device successful or not, but with this, we feel it’s doing more harm than good.

Put simply, the Toshiba Excite 13 is a huge tablet. It's a capable tablet, too, with a quad-core Tegra 3 processor that handles Ice Cream Sandwich well, but we imagine there are many people who won't get past its size and give it a whirl. In that regard, the Excite 13 reminds us of the Galaxy Note, a super-sized phone that never fails to produce a love-it or hate-it reaction.

The Toshiba Excite 7.7 is one of the first Android tablets good enough to leave my iPad untouched. The small size and good build quality make for a tablet that is perfect for carrying whenever I leave the house.

The ability to play great looking games on the Toshiba Excite 7.7 is a big plus for users who want a small tablet capable of being the only tablet they need to carry.

Tablet shoppers looking for an Android tablet should keep the Excite 7.7 at the top of their shopping list. The decision is harder for users comparing the iPad and the Excite 7.7, because the Excite 7.7 is $80 mor than the new iPad.

The iPad arguably offers a better value for users who want unfettered access to apps and accessories, but the Excite is worth looking at before purchasing a new tablet.
