Samsung pioneered mainstream stylus based android tablets with its note line and now toshiba enters a game with the six hundred dollar excite write the right is a 10.1 inch tablet with a 2560 by 1600 resolution screen ports include a microSD card slot micro HDMI and microUSB however the micro USB port can't be used for charging there's only one 32 gigabyte storage configuration the 1.3 megapixel front facing camera is as grainy as they get but the 8 megapixel back camera actually takes sharp pics video handles colors pretty well and has an LED flash the right is essentially the excite pro with a Wacom digitizer that means according to toshiba that the screen can detect up to 1024 levels of pressure from the pen however when using toshibas included true note app you'd never notice to note is a very basic note-taking and picture annotating app that lets you organize your files and virtual folders those files can include simple notes doodles and whatever else you can think of to draw a right you can choose from a couple of different styles of hens a pencil or marker color thickness and transparency levels can be adjusted manually but line thickness doesn't respond to different levels of pressure no matter how hard or lightly you press that's not the case however if using Photoshop Touch which clearly responds to different pressure levels if outside the to note app you can take a screenshot and then crop and annotate the screen to your heart's content that's pretty much it though true note is surprisingly bare-bones with none of the bells and whistles of Samsung's S note app the pen is accurate and riding with it felt more fluent and faster than on the Galaxy Note 10.1 but about match the note 8 and smoothness one features samsung stylus is missing however is this handy eraser button on the bottom it's a useful and convenient extra even if its detection isn't 12 the biggest difference however between the note and right is OS integration the note line includes stylus functionality like cutting out a slice of the screen any screen at any time also the notes right to text conversion put Samsung's tablets in a class all their own the excite right doesn't come near that level of integration and the overall experience feels more limited for it the excite right is a good tablet but for six hundred dollars comes up way short in the wild apartment a stylist features can't match the competition and ultimately it isn't worth the unreasonable price toshiba is asking more information check out my full review at cnet com amerock Franklin and this has been a first look at the toshiba excite right
