Our Experience
It seemed a bit bulky, but it was reasonably priced. I like that I can replace the back with different colors and they weren’t that expensive, about $20. The battery life was good, but the good thing is that you can replace the battery. With other tablets, you have to send it back to get the battery replaced. Considering the batteries are good for about 2-3 years max. This could be an issue. The speed and sound were good. I watched a video and surfed the web (email, facebook, etc…) and didn’t have any buffering or slow loads.
Our Verdict
If thats what you’re looking for, then the toshiba tablet is a good choice. Great for a college student or someone on the go that doesn’t need a lot of features and storage. Bluetooth, camera, webcam,… all good.
