The Toshiba AT200 (originally known as the Toshiba Excite) flaunts itself as the world’s thinnest tablet, and it’s the follow up to the Toshiba AT100, which scored 3/5 in our review back in August of last year.

We first saw the AT200 all the way back in September at IFA 2011 in Germany and it has taken a long 6 months for it to reach the UK.

In the UK the Toshiba AT200 is exclusively available now at Carphone Warehouse. It comes in two models; 16GB and 32GB which are priced at £399 (about $630) and £449 (about $710) respectively.

This puts the AT200 in direct competition with the likes of the new iPad, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the cheaper Sony Tablet S.

As the world’s thinnest tablet, prepared to be impressed – the AT200 is a mere 7.7mm in depth. Compare that with the 8.6mm Galaxy Tab 10.1 and 9.4mm new iPad and you’ve got yourself one seriously slim piece of tech.
