HP Touch. Pad for being too bulky, the Thrive poses an interesting question. Is a bulky tablet inherently a bad thing or can a tablet justify its extra mass? Design. While most other tablets, like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 1. Apple's thin, light, and minimalist i. Pad 2 design, Toshiba hurls the Thrive right into the soft, supple face of the notion that tablets should be designed this way. Sure, at 1. 6. 6 pounds the Thrive is relatively light compared with, say, a laptop or even a Netbook, but at that weight, it's as heavy as the heaviest tablet we've seen and its 0.

Toshiba's intent with the Thrive was to make a tablet that more closely met the needs of a typical laptop user, and as you can see from the specs above, the Toshiba Thrive is one of the heaviest, widest, and deepest tablets we've yet seen.

Other Files Available to Download The Toshiba Thrive compared with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 1. We told you it was thick. Upon picking up the Thrive, the first thing we noticed was its grooved back panel, which provides an easy- to- grip texture. While our model's panel was black, the panel is removable and can be swapped out for a panel in one of five other colors (green, purple, blue, pink, and silver), available for $2. Removing the panel requires that you dig your fingernails into the speaker indentations and then carefully, but firmly, pull back. Given the manner in which the panel is connected to the tablet, when pulling it off you may get the impression that you're breaking something, and although we didn't break anything, we can't rule out the possibility and we wish the panel came off more easily. Once the panel is off, the removable battery can be accessed, removed, and finally swapped with an extra battery Toshiba has priced at $8. The battery measures 5. Removing the battery is simpler and easier than removing the back panel, although replacing both battery and panel is easy. There's also the option to lock the back panel into place, which seems unnecessary since it's pretty firmly attached once placed properly, and if locked and forgotten could easily cause someone to break it by trying to pull the panel off while it's in a locked state. The back panel is removable and swappable with up to five other colors. The battery is revealed here. It's the large light gray plate on the left. When held in landscape mode, the top of the tablet holds, from left to right, the power button, volume rocker, and rotation lock. Both the volume rocker and rotation lock are easily accessed, but the power button is embedded a tad too deeply and requires a more focused press to actually click. It's nowhere near as bad as the Black. Berry Play. Book's, which requires a pen to access properly, though. On the opposite end of the top edge is the full- size SD card slot, which accepts cards of up to 1. GB in capacity. Near the power button, on the bezel, are three LED indicator lights that glow to indicate when the power is on, when the battery's charging, or when wireless or Bluetooth is switched on.
