the new blackberry playbook

is it any good? with blackberrys recent struggles is it just something they sent to market for an extra bit of cash?

also is it better then, equal to, or worse than a laptop?

and finally if given the opportunity, would you buy one.

I am a Blackberry fanboy, so you can take my opinion with a grain of salt.

I personally love my playbook. It has the best hardware on the market except for the New iPad, and it comes at a quite reasonable price.

The app store is still quite weak. It has good games and apps, just not nearly as many the the Apple app store, or the Android store.

Also, as you know, the Playbook is small. People either love this or hate it. I personally love the smaller size. It works well for me.

Anyway, I hope you get one, you'll love it.

Dunno about the new one, but I have a bunch of friends and family who got one around christmas time. Almost all of them have had complaints/straight up don't like it.

I don't like any tablets and think they are basically useless when we already have laptop technology. So I guess I'm unbiased? Don't like ipads or playbooks so I guess just in my circle, a lot of people have been unhappy with the playbooks they got.
