Toshiba's new Excite X10 tablet world’s thinnest” 10.1-inch tablet

We go hands on with Toshiba's new Excite X10 tablet, which is definitely a step up from the Thrive, but at $530, it may have a hard time finding an audience.





With the Excite X10, Toshiba is trying to have it all. The company claims that the Excite is the “world’s thinnest” 10.1-inch tablet, but it also wants to be the most accessible. No, not from a pricing standpoint (this will be two or three times the price of the Kindle Fire); we’re talking about ports here. Below are my first impressions of Toshiba’s only new tablet announced at the Consumer Electronics Show this year.
  1. Thin and light
  2. A step up from the Thrive
  3. Fingerprints no more:
  4. Magnesium alloy shell
  5. Better camera location:
  6. From big ports to little ports
  7. The next big thing
