Released February, 2012
Rated 70% by by c|net (Mar, 2012)Priced at $530 with 16GB of storage, or $600 for 32GB, Toshiba evidently feels that its tablet's iPad-besting thickness and weight deserve a slightly higher price than the competition.
Rated 80% by by Bill-Clark (Feb, 2013)Don't expect a quad core to be amazingly faster than a dual core, but it can handle concurrent tasks with aplomb.
Conclusion Which is better for you?
Features Key features of the Toshiba Excite 10 LE compared to the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1
“10.1
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
Rated 41% by by The Verge (Mar, 2012)It's bright and accurate, viewing angles are excellent, with virtually no discoloration even far off-axis, and while you can definitely make out individual pixels and see some jaggies on small text, it's not enough to be a huge problem unless you're really looking for it.
10.1”
Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
Rated 100% by by DSh (Sep, 2012)The speed for 1.4 Quad Core is more than impressive for now days, I'm glad that I bought it.
screen size
10.1"
10.1"
Excite 10 LE by The Verge (Mar, 2012)At 7.7mm, it really is impressively thin, slimmer than any tablet we've seen regardless of screen size.
Galaxy Note 10.1 by john-LampeYou will not be producing large scale on art on this small tablet screen, but for the doodler/artist it's good enough.
screen resolution
Excite 10 LE by c|net (Mar, 2012)For a device that sells on the strength of its premium design, it's a detail that should have been taken care of.
Galaxy Note 10.1 by Pen-Fanatic--PenzIt's not a. "bad" display by far, but the Retina Display is simply crisp and beautiful to look at.
memory
| 0 GB | 2 GB | 2 GB |
camera resolution
| 0 MP | 2 MP | 2 MP |
Excite 10 LE by c|net (Mar, 2012)Neither of them is particularly great, and several people we handed the tablet to mistook the front camera (circled in chrome) for a home button.
Galaxy Note 10.1 by c|net (Mar, 2013)The front camera won't wow you with its quality, but at 1.9 megapixels, it won't distract you either as long as you're not planning to do more than some videoconferencing on it.
processor
Galaxy Note 10.1 by Bill-Clark (Feb, 2013)But if you hate lag, you'll love a quad core because there's just about always enough processor for whatever the device is doing.
Performance Real world tests of Toshiba Excite 10 LE vs Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1
cpu speed
Excite 10 LE by The Verge (Mar, 2012)The Excite is geared toward a more average tablet buyer, and while its spec list isn't exactly standard-setting, it's solid: a TI OMAP 4430 processor, 1GB of RAM, and a 1280 x 800, 10.1-inch display.
Galaxy Note 10.1 by Harriet (Sep, 2012)Same price, $499, faster processor, expandable memory, S-pen, multiscreen capabilities, 2 gigs ram, I even prefer the screen layout (wider than ipad) for watching movies and videos.
battery life
8.5 hour
8 hour
Excite 10 LE by The Verge (Mar, 2012)In practice, largely because frequent crashes are a fact of life with the Excite, I got more like four hours of battery on a charge.
Galaxy Note 10.1 by C.-Jones (Aug, 2012)It has a true filing system, is fast, has true multi-tasking, great screen, great battery life, great software and a solid build.
