News & Reviews:   Toshiba Regza AT200 Malaysia release date

The Toshiba Regza AT200 aims to do for tablets what the MacBook Air did for laptops, that is be the thinnest and lightest tablet within it's class and range. At 535g and just 7.7mm thick it remains much thinner and lighter than the current Apple iPad. Does it measure up in other aspects? Read on to find out.

Thinnest and lightest 10-inch Tablet by Design:

At 535g and 7.7mm thick, the Toshiba Regza AT200 is indeed lighter and thinner than the Apple iPad. It is also thinner than most other 10.1-inch tablets within its class although not lighter than some of the smaller tablets. Going for a completely flat look, the back plate has no curves and if you lay the AT200 on its back it gets a bit difficult to pick up again unless you have a good grip. The design is definitely premium though as the back plate is brushed metal while the side bezels are made from the same similar thin magnesium alloy. This does make it seem a bit tougher but it doesn't feel as tough as an aluminum unibody. From the front the 10.1-inch 1280 x 800 pixel IPS screen looks nice from all angles and the Corning Gorilla Glass cover keeps it relatively safe. However, it probably won't turn heads from the front very much, it will turn heads from the side and the rear though.
