Its benefits go further, since it also renewed its internal components. Starting with the processor, we’re talking a 1.2 GHz processor accompanied mononuclear 768MB of RAM, plus 8GB of internal storage available but are expandable via MicroSD card reader, up to 32GB maximum.

For starters, we have the most basic model, the 16 GB, which happens to cost 499 euros to 299 euros cost. But if this discount is interesting, higher-capacity models even more surprised. The 32 GB Blackberry Playbook goes from 599 euros to 309 euros each. Finally, the 64 GB model, priced from 699 euros before-now have a final price of 319 euros.

From the official website you can see the new prices that will make the Blackberry Playbook sales increase considerably the next day. With less than 1.3 inches thick and 1 GHz processor, dual core, this is a tablet with very interesting features and a much more attractive.

Is this the beginning of a new price reduction by the companies? With the tremendous growth that has the tablet market would not be surprising that the older models begin to have really attractive discounts for users. Good news for those who think that 500 euros is a very high price for such gadgets.
