Blackberry playbook 64gb £129 worth it?

[stevekingchef]

Hi guys

Have seen the BB playbook for 129 quid in PCM world??


It looks like quite a good tablet for the money ?


It's for the mrs to use,we have a laptop and iPad already but I use iPad at work and finish late so thought this would be perfect fore Facebook ,Internet browsing etc etc


Views opinions welcome !

They're quite popular, good for Internet, emails, youtube etc maybe missing out on some of the accessibility that android provides.

I'm sure there's a free case with it from PC World at the moment.

I've got one, and for me it's perfect.

I travel to Zurich a lot for work and like to keep the crap I carry on me to a minimum. Once I've dumped my hold luggage, the Playbook slips into a pocket with my passport and phone. Perfect!

It may not be as fancy as an iPad and it may not have as many apps as Android tablets. However, it's pretty solid, the OS hasn't yet crapped out on me and it does music, video and Flash (Ahhh! He saved every one of us!).

Nexus 7 outperforms it in most tests and reviews.

nexus 32gb is £166 as just bought one for the Mrs. bloody good bit of kit for the £££ loads easier to lug about than my ipad!! as for the playbook...know a few people who have them and are more than happy doing the usual internet/email/watching movies stuff and much better build quality than the cheaper end android stuff! TBH i aint used the 16gb on my ipad yet..and its been over a year!
