Sorry to disappoint you, but it is not the same hardware as the playbook. Playbook doesn't lack two cameras and a microphone and an ingenious functioning bezel.

Also if all the software quirks are true, then playbook has none of them, it being extremely responsive. I can bet you have never used a playbook.

I don't own a playbook, but did play around with it in a best buy. I don't think it beats iPad either and the price tag back then was not justified.

Also, agreed the hardware is not exactly same, though my reference was more to the processor, RAM, etc that contribute to performance. But am definitely sure those 2 cameras and a microphone are not worth the extra $300
