Toshiba Excite 7 tablet bores with basics

2013-11-20
hey I'm Xiomara Blanco frissina and this is the Toshiba Excite 7 tablet now this is a pretty basic budget tablet nothing too special about it its design is similar to other Toshiba Excite tablets with a plastic body that has a textured back panel and thick black bezels on the front the bumpy back works better to help grip the device on the smaller 7-inch than it does on the larger Excite tablets but the overall look and feel of the device is rather inexpensive most of the ports are located on the top edge of the tablet with the headphone jack that also works with microphones volume rocker micro SD card slot and micro USB port the power button is on the right edge and the stereo speakers are located on the bottom the speakers are awkwardly located in the place up easy to block and unlike the rounded back the front edges are rigid and can slightly dig into your palms if holding the tablet towards your body the 3 megapixel back camera produces fuzzy photos and washed out colors and the same can be said for the 0.3 megapixel front-facing camera the Excite 7 has a 1024 by 600 pixel resolution which is well below today's top tablets but even for a budget tablet at its starting price it's still a bit low pixels are obvious colors are gold and despite the fact that it has good viewing angles glare is a frequent nuisance the Excite 7 has audio enhancing features built-in but the speaker's still sound tinny and flat no matter what type of audio they're playing the Toshiba Excite 7 houses a 1.6 gigahertz quad-core CPU 1 gigabyte of RAM and a gigabyte or 16 gigabytes of internal storage performance-wise for the most part II ran smoothly the crashing apps and lagging was a frequent occurrence especially if multiple apps were open the touchscreen also had a hard time recognizing swipes and gestures on various occasions gaming performance was smooth as long as a lot of other apps aren't open and as expected larger games take a long time to look there are many 7-inch tablets below $200 that offer basic specs average performance the Toshiba Excite sevens 159 starting price doesn't overshadow its laggy performance inconsistent touchscreen and dual display when it comes to budget tablets these days you can find something better in the same price range Christina I'm Xiomara Blanco and this has been the Toshiba Excite 7 tablet
