I am so happy with mine, the value is astounding. It doesn't feel cheap, and the screen is really great. Also because it's a Nexus device, you don't even have to worry about getting the latest updates. The processor is really snappy and it runs all my apps and games seamlessly, and I have had 8/9 hours battery life.
It's an impressive device, and I would recommend getting the 16GB version if you can. |

The Nexus 7 is an excellent buy but the Playbook 64GB has excellent sound quality and is £129 at Currys/PC World. Granted, it has less apps and you have to sideload so if you are a big app user go for the Nexus 7.

I was thinking of getting it mainly for music, my laptop has pretty bad sound issues, also for using apps that won't work on my android phone

Then the Playbook should be adequate depending on the following...
Do you know how to sideload (it's pretty easy)? What apps do you want? |

It is not even that cheap when you think about it. |

Sounds better than my laptop, its not as good as the playbook I had. It all depends on the quality of the audio source as well you need to take into account.
Currently i have £20 teknika bluetooth speaker i got from tescos i am using to give me a bit extra sound whilst saving up for a jambox or bose one. However I am also looking at the sony sphere one as you can use NFC with that one with their app. |

Just coming in on this thread instead of making another... Is it worth paying for 16GB? I don't plan on saving many apps on to mine. I just want Twitter and to go on forums really and google play books.

With its mapping quality app becoming an exclusive it can't be beaten for quality at the more portable size.

Just remember that it only works on wifi, not that I see that as an issue if you have wifi at home or spend a lot of time in wifi enabled places, libraries, coffee shops etc.
