Toshiba Excite (AT200)

The Toshiba AT200 is the slimmed-down successor to the Toshiba Thrive tablet. Like its predecessor, it is 10" in size and runs Google's Android Honeycomb tablet operating system, however ditches the Nvidia Tegra 2 processor in favor of the TI OMAP 4430 at 1.2GHz.

This TI processor is the same that is used in BlackBerry's PlayBook and Motorola's Droid Bionic, and is a close sibling to the the one found in Google's Galaxy Nexus phone (TI OMAP 4460). As perhaps its most visible change, the AT200 is ultra-slim at only 7.7mm, making it 1.1mm thinner than 2011's thinnest tablet (Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1). The appearance has also changed drastically from a rubberized back to a brushed metal look. Its display is a 10" high-resolution LCD at 1,280 x 800. The tablet can be ordered between 16GB and 64GB of on-board storage, but can be expanded by up to 32GB microSD cards. It also retains its venerable selection of ports, featuring micro-HDMI and a microUSB.
