The Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 body is just a bit thinner and notably lighter than the Toshiba Excite 13, although they were only released with a couple months difference. These tablets work with the same Android 4.0 OS (Operating System), so you shouldn't see any difference regarding OS features.

Toshiba Excite 13 features a bit sharper display than Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, because although it has a little lower pixel number per inch in the screen, it also counts with a better resolution of 900 x 1600 pixels and a really larger display.
The Toshiba Excite 13 has a superior memory capacity to install applications and games than Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, because although it has no external SD slot, it also counts with more internal storage capacity. Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 features a really longer battery performance than Toshiba Excite 13.
