For a 7" tablet I recommend the BlackBerry PlayBook (currently priced at $200 for the 16 GB version). Seriously.

~has a decent speed
~won't suddenly become ridiculously slow
~so-so decent memory (not really looking to store a lot on information on it)
~light
~not as big as my desktop screen (about 7" is what I have been looking through, I can adjust to something a little bigger or smaller)

I am looking for information regarding what to look for in a tablet. I won't be making the actual purchase for some time so I have plenty of time to do my research. What tablets have had enough reviews to know which ones are going to actually last? If someone is a member of Consumer Reports it would be appreciated to look up some that you feel are decent.

Thank you for your time.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab and I really like it. The best part, for me is that it is 3G on the t-Mobile network so you can have internet *almost* anywhere; you can use the tab as a hotspot too if you want to.

It's affordable too at about $300

ETA: the only thing I don't like is that it has a proprietary charge/data port and you have to have THEIR data cords/charge cords for it to work, I'd much rather have a generic port like a mini USB.

Since yesterday the better choice is now the quad core Google Nexus 7. $200 for 8GB or $250 for 16GB.
