You can get a great price on these, but they are not worth it. The tablet is slow and doesn't seem to be able to do the simplest thing like browse the internet. Battery Life About 4 hours use on a charge Processing Speed One word - Slow Weight Good weight - not to heavy but enough to feel substantial in your hand App Availability Poor app availability but slowly getting better Design Nice design but seems somewhat outdated compared to the new tablets coming out Durability Average

Had to replace the charger with a three pin magnetic charger, but it was cheap and works great. This tablet is marvelous for surfing the Web, and I use it every day. Battery Life Lasts for hours. Processing Speed Fast enough Weight Light App Availability Everything I need Design Sleek Durability Original charger has well described flaw, though a three pin magnetic replacement is inexpensive and easy to use.

Because I was given this device for free, I am okay with it. However, I would not suggest to anyone that they buy one. It's quite simply a waste of money and your cash can be spent elsewhere. At first it seems like a good investment, but the longer you own it the more you see the problems. Many apps download well, but when you go to use them all you receive is a blank screen. Popular apps such as Pinterest and Tumblr do not exist on it. Battery Life The battery tends to run out very quickly and takes a very long time to charge. Even if the brightness level of the screen is turned down, it still drains the battery when its on 'standby' nearly as fast as when it is being used. Processing Speed It processes very slowly and frequently doesn't load apps Weight For as small as it is, it is quite heavy, and therefore not a gadget that you can carry around in your purse. It's a downfall when you don't have internet on any other device and want to use this playbook. App Availability It has quite a few apps, but not many of the popular ones that you can find on an ipad. The only common one is Facebook for Blackberry. Durability The durability is not very good. My sister had it and her tiny puppy stepped on it and cracked a large portion of the screen. The amount of pressure applied by such a small animal should not have resulted in the damage that was done.

I received this tablet as a gift on christmas and I must say that you can spend your hard earning money elsewhere. This tablet freezes on me and if you dont charge it right before it completely dies on you, it is very hard to recharge it as it takes a few days plugged in trying to recover. The camera is also not so well in my opion. Picture quality is not so good.

I love my BlackBerry Playbook. It's small enough to carry anywhere, easy to use, and inexpensive. You can purchase a lot of accessories, that make using the playbook more fun & versatile. Everyone uses it & loves it; from 4 year old nephew to my 61 year old mother. The picture quality is great, all of the controls are easy to access, and it's just all around fun to use. Battery Life Like any other electronic device, the battery life depends on what you're doing. My battery has lasted 4.5 hours before on less than a full charge ( about 70%) with my nephew using it to play games. Processing Speed The playbook processes rather quickly compared to other tablets that I've used. Weight It is light weight and easy to carry anywhere and everywhere. It easily fits in my purse & sometimes I forget Its there because it doesn't make a big difference weight wise! App Availability There are a lot of apps to choose from. Most of the popular apps & games Apple & Android use are also available on BB. There are apps for school & merchandise that aren't available yet, but I'm sure they're coming! Design I feel that the design of the play book is just right. Everything fits and flows nicely together. Durability Before I bought a case for my play book, my nephew had dropped it many times. It had dents in it where he was dropping it so much. I'm not sure if it still works because I'm so lucky or because it's a durable product, but I like to think it's a little bit of both.

The tablet was missing the most important, in my opinion, function of an internet device at launch, an email client. This was rectified later but the Playbook still suffers from poor support from App developers. Processing Speed It was sluggish with the original OS version but after the major upgrade the Playbook was much snappier. Durability Build quality is excellent, the Playbook is extremely sturdy.

Have the 64GB model and have been using it for about a year and half. The form factor is small enough that it is large enough to use and I can hold it in one hand. The screen is amazing. The color quality and clarity is excellent. As I have a BlackBerry phone, the bridge feature is awesome. With the bridge I can be viewing a web page on the phone and launch the page onto the tablet.

I have been using my blackberry 32gb tablet for about six months now. I can not imagine how I ever got along without it. I use it everyday. The playbook has fantastic battery life. I can easily go two to three days on a full charge. The screen size is great - big enough to function easily but small enough to fit every where. Of course it features the blackberry operating system....very user friendly. Battery Life Fantastic!!! Exceeds expectations Processing Speed Very good for a tablet Weight Light enough to carry in a purse App Availability There are not as many as ipad but more than any reasonable adult could ever need Durability It's well built and hay survived a fall unscathed

The Playbook multitasks beautifully, is very fast, great screen, takes great pictures and videos. Does not have a flash so take pic with decent light. No buttons to push all swipe moves - so very intuitive! Like it so much I bought 2 so I always had one to use when other was on charging pod!

This is one piece you might want to own. Battery Life Very good battery life. I charge it once a day, and it lasts all day long. Processing Speed The Tablet took too long to initially start up, but now has no issues at all. Weight Could have been a bit lighter. Be careful when your little one's want to get their hands on this. App Availability Cannot write much about this area, because I am yet to explore most of them.
