Pros

Giant screen is good for watching videos, Excellent Tegra 3 performance.
Largest screen we've seen yet on a tablet, Superior battery life, Metal stand included in the box
The Toshiba Excite 13 has a zippy quad-core processor and a front-facing camera that features a handful of photo and recording options, and it ships with Android 4.0.
Huge display makes sharing content easy; Excellent quad-core performance; Full-size SD card slot

Cons

So big it's unwieldy, Too expensive, Not enough HD content.
Size and weight make it better suited to couch than commute, Most apps don't take proper advantage of big screen, Resolution should be higher, considering size and price
The Excite 13's mammoth screen makes it cumbersome to maneuver, and it doesn't deal well with videos that don't fit its aspect ratio.
Dimmer-than-average screen; Expensive; Too awkward to use while standing taking photos; Big screen accentuates Android's tablet app gap

In the tablet game, there seems to be only one question - what's the right size? Samsung with their Galaxy Note figured a 5-incher qualified only as a hybrid. The iPad proved people would buy a 9-incher en masse, the HP reaffirmed it, and the...
