Tablets are getting far slimmer every day. At CES 2012, we have just witnessed the arrival of the world’s thinnest tablet, the Toshiba Excite X10. With a density of just 0.3-inch, the Excite X10 is doubtlessly the slimmest tablet on market today. The Toshiba tablet, which weighs at mere 1.18 lbs, features a 10-inch display. The device edges out key tablets like the Galaxy Tab 10.1, Eee Pad Transformer Prime and iPad 2 in thickness.
The Excite X10 tablet works on the latest version of Google OS, the Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0). Its slim body doesn’t prevent Toshiba from slotting in a microHDMI and microUSB port on the tablet. The device also sports a dock connector and a microSD slot for external memory cards. But sadly, the thinnest tablet misses 3G connectivity. It depends on Wi-Fi for network connectivity.
The Toshiba Ice Cream Sandwich tablet runs on a dual-core 1.2 GHz OMAP 4430 processor, 1GB of RAM and 16/32GB storage options. Its 10-inch screen is a solid 1280 x 800 IPS touch display. The display performs nicer and it will help you watch movies, surf web and play games with ease.
The Excite X10 sports a 5-megapixel rear camera and a 2-megapixel front camera for video calls. Toshiba has priced the Excite X10 at $530 and $600 respectively for its 16GB and 32GB models. The company will start shipping the thinnest tablet in February. Get ready to buy a unit of the thinnest tablet in the world.
