I was looking through reviews of notebooks on notebookcheck.com and came across a recent review for the PlayBook. It got a great score of 88% which is equal to the Samsung Series 9 laptop, their high end premium device. Other devices that received similar scores are usually expensive, business line laptops like the Dell Precision M4600 (90%), HP Elitebook 8740w (91%), and Macbook Air 13" (89%).

Tablet Comparisons

Apple iPad 2 - 90%
BlackBerry PlayBook - 88%
Motorola Xoom 10.1 - 87%
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 - 86%
Sony S1 - 86%
Acer Iconia - 85%
HTC Flyer - 84%

Unfortunately, the review is in German, but it seems to be very indepth. They have an American site but their reviews are different. I didn't see the PlayBook review in English.

I did run some of the review into Google Translate and saw that they really liked the display and felt viewing angles were great. Also, I think they were very impressed by the speakers.

Their scores break down to

Processing - 91%
Keyboard - 40%
Mouse - 92%
Connectivity - 36%
Weight - 99%
Battery Life - 94%
Display - 92%
Power Games - 20%
Performance Applications - 40%
Temperature - 89%
Volume - 100%
Impression - 90%

One would think that with apps and games being so low that the overall score would be low. Don't hate me for saying this, I am just making that connection.
