A VFM tablet. Review on Blackberry PlayBook WiFi 64GB

Today I am going to review my Blackberry Playbook. I wanted to buy a tablet for my studies. I wanted a tablet which has

• Microsoft Excel , Word , PPT

  
  




• E-book reader

  
  




• Cameras on both the sides

  
  




• Fast e-mail service

  
  




• Good graphics

  
  




• Dependable OS

  
  




• Long lasting battery

  
  




• Good touchscreen

  
  

Budget was upto Rs.13000

The tablets I was looking for

• Micromax Funbook Pro

  
  




• HCL MyEdu Tab X1

  
  




• iBall Slide

  
  




• Blackberry Playbook

  
  

First I thought of buying a iBall slide , but then I was attracted towards the Playbook . I thought it was VFM and so bought the tablet.

Now time for pros and cons

Pros

• Good , solid , tough build quality

  
  




• Best in class screen resolution

  
  




• 1GHZ Dual Core Cortex A9 Processor

  
  




• Full HD Recording

  
  




• Good touchscreen

  
  




• HDMI Port ( to connect it to a HDTV )

  
  




• Accelerometer

  
  




• Integration with your Blackberry Smartphone

  
  

Cons

• Less apps on Blackberry Tablet OS

  
  




• No FM Radio ( No tablet has a FM radio but I still wanted it )

  
  




• Average 5MP camera with no flash

  
  

Overall , I suggest this tablet over brands like Micromax , iBall , HCL as it is a notch higher than these tablets . Also , it can put tablets above Rs.20000 to shame in specifications. This is a VFM tablet and you get more than what you pay for. Also , the Blackberry Customer Service is very co-operative . I was having problems with updating the OS of the tablet and they answered my queries with satisfaction. Thanks for reading.
