2012 Toshiba AT200 Tablet Review





Another day at IFA 2011, and yet another launch of a brand-new Android tablet. This time it’s Toshiba’s turn with the AT200: a 10.1in tablet that can (currently, at least) lay claim to being the lightest 10.1in tablet in the world.
While it gets harder and harder for manufacturers to differentiate their slates from the identikit masses, Toshiba’s done a great job of giving its AT200 a little personality of its own. The unfussy design looks plain yet elegant; a strip of black running along the tablet’s flat 7.7mm edges, arresting only when it reaches the ports on the tablet’s flank.
Toshiba says this is the thinnest 10.1-inch tablet ever, which, if you think about it, is too specific to mean anything at all. Still, the AT200 is indeed impressively slender, and this lack of girth is probably its strongest feature.
Under the hood, the tablet offers drool-worthy features that are also found in many high-end competitors. While the AT200 Excite still uses Honeycomb (Android 2.3), the 1.2 GHz dual-core processors can keep everything smooth and snappy. As tablets tend to be app-heavy, the 1GB of RAM can ensure smooth multi-tasking tasks and in terms of storage capacity, the phone comes with two different versions, 16GB and 32GB of internal storage. The tablet also offers a microSD slot, which can significantly increase the potential storage. Display-wise, it comes with a 10.1” LED-backlit LCD display with 1280 x 800 pixels resolution and the support for 16MB of colors simply make the AT200 stunning. The tablet comes with a pair of modest shooters, a 5Mp rear-facing and 2Mp front-facing cameras. At this moment, we may not know what future holds for the tablet, but there’s definitely some good things coming it way.
