It's a tricky thing to name your devices after a verb. And when we say "tricky," we mean ill-advised. That Toshiba could willfully overlook Excite as a magnet for terrible (and terribly negative) puns speaks to its distance from the tablet category (remember the
Thrive?). Yet, here we have
another generation of Excite tablets and this, the Excite Write, is the line's top-shelf offering. Its
Wacom digitizer and included stylus mean this tablet can go toe to toe with the
Note 10.1; both have the same screen size and 1,024 degrees of pressure sensitivity. But where Samsung's outsized Note skimped on the HD resolution, Toshiba's gone the opposite direction. Boasting a 2,560 x 1,600 display, a Wacom digitizer, a
Tegra 4 heart, 2GB of RAM and
Harman Kardon speakers, the Write is a welcome chord change in an otherwise uneventful 10-inch Android fugue. The catch to all of this premium goodness is a $600 sticker price. You still there?
