Blackberry Playbook 16 GB, pros and cons?

Last edited Sat Oct 20, 2012, 08:49 AM USA/ET - Edit history (1)

I've been looking at tablets for a while now, the Playbook gets about as good reviews as any tablet on Amazon and Office Depot has quite a good deal on them at $159, in store only. That's the best price I've seen on the unit by about $40.

Are there any better options in that price range at the moment?

ETA: I just checked the Office Depot website and evidently the 64 GB Playbook is now $189, which is about $40 less than it was a couple of days ago when I was in the store looking at them.

So my OP also covers the 64 GB model, the new price is within my budget.
