  • Extremely cumbersome and heavy (2.2 lbs), making it difficult to hold for long periods
  • Screen resolution (1600x900) results in a low pixel density, leading to occasionally grainy graphics
  • Lack of Wi-Fi on some specific 3G models limits connectivity

  • Requires a bulky, proprietary laptop-style power brick for charging
  • Cameras are awkward to use and deliver mediocre, washed-out image quality

Verdict

The Toshiba Excite 13 AT335 is a uniquely oversized 13.3-inch tablet featuring a 1600 x 900 resolution LED-backlit IPS display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass. It is powered by a quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor clocked at 1.5 GHz, paired with 1GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, expandable via a full-sized SD card slot. Connectivity options include 3G HSPA, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, and a micro-HDMI port for external displays. Its primary pros are the massive screen real estate ideal for movies or kitchen use, a robust quad-core performance for its era, and quad-speaker stereo sound. However, its significant cons include a low pixel density of approximately 120 ppi, an unwieldy weight of 2.2 pounds that makes it difficult to hold, and a large, proprietary laptop-style power brick required for charging.
