Conclusion: We're mixed

With a fast quad-core processor and bright AMOLED display, the Toshiba Excite 7.7 is one of the best small Android tablets currently available. It's also thin, light, boasts the latest version of Android (4.0), and includes a microSD slot for storage expansion. But it has a couple of minor annoyances, including limited output options (no HDMI), and a proprietary dock connector for charging. It's also $500, which makes it more expensive than most 7-inch Android tablets, and puts it on par with the latest iPad. show more

The Excite 7.7 is a huge improvement over the Thrive series and offers tantalizing features for gamers, but its price won't be a good fit for casual users.

The Toshiba Excite 7.7 is one of the finest Android 4.0 tablets money can buy, but it's too expensive even given its high-end components.

This is, hands down, one of the best tablets I've ever used. However, with the $200 Nexus 7 on the horizon, it's almost impossible to recommend a similarly spec'd and sized tablet at more than double the price.
