Yahoo Lifestyle Amazon's newest Fire HD 10 tablet is down to $85 for Cyber Monday, that's over 50% off
It's faster and sharper than previous versions, and it costs (way, way) less than an iPad.
If you've been holding out on upgrading your tablet, consider this a sign. Thanks to this Cyber Monday deal, the Amazon Fire HD 10 is just $85, which is over 50% off (and its lowest price ever). It's tough to find a tablet that packs this much punch at this price, so we recommend you stop waffling and make that purchase. Prices this good won’t last long and are bound to hike up soon.
When I’m shopping for a new tablet, there are a few non-negotiables: lightweight design, long battery life, a generous screen and at least 64GB of storage (the sweet spot for most people). If you want something budget-friendly without skimping on quality, the Amazon Fire HD 10 checks all the boxes. It’s already a steal compared to an iPad, but this deal makes the decision even more of a no-brainer.
This upgraded model, released last year, is 25% faster than the previous version, a touch lighter and even comes with a solid camera for your video call needs. It’s sleek, dependable and ridiculously affordable — especially now. (And if you’re deal hunting, don’t miss our roundups of the best Cyber Monday deals on Amazon devices and the Cyber Monday deals overall.)
Newer, faster and significantly upgraded from the previous version, the Fire HD 10 is a tablet worth checking out — especially at $95 off its already affordable price.
Why is this a good Cyber Monday deal? 💰
Amazon products usually see a substantial drop around Cyber weekend, but this tablet is at its lowest-ever price. You're saving over 50% — and you don't have to settle for an outdated model to enjoy serious savings.
Why do I need this? 🤔
If you don't have a tablet and you're considering your options, you can't go wrong with the Amazon Fire HD 10. And if you already have a Fire tablet you love, consider upgrading with this deal.
This version includes 64GB of onboard storage and comes with 3GB of RAM. The screen is 10.1 inches across and displays content in 1080p resolution — that's high-definition. You can expect up to 13 hours of battery life, depending on what you're doing. For example, reading a book will use less energy than streaming a video.
You'll get 5-megapixel front- and rear-facing cameras that make video chats clearer than ever. The Fire HD 10 can do it all, fans say, serving as everything from a communication device to an entertainment powerhouse. You can even write on it with a Made for Amazon Stylus Pen (sold separately), which means you can use it for taking notes, jotting down ideas and more.
What reviewers say 💬
With more than 12,000 five-star ratings, this is one popular tablet, and now that it's more than 50% off, it'll be flying off the shelves.
Pros 👍
Said one fan, "I've had several Fire tablets over the years. This one is my favorite. It's very responsive and fast."
"Can I say OH MY GOSH!" gushed another shopper. "I've been and still am an avid iPad user, but this device surely rivals it."
"I was gifted this tablet as a replacement for the previous generation and it's a wonderful upgrade!" said a longtime Fire fan. "Faster with a sharp display. ... The battery life is great and much better than any iPad I've owned. ... I use this for word processing and note-taking with the Microsoft apps. Otherwise, I use it for reading, some games, and light internet browsing. It's my downtime tablet."
"I think this is the best Kindle by far. Love the beautiful colors it has, the speed it streams and the price was great," said a fourth reviewer. "The sound is great. They are very durable with good battery life. You just can't go wrong for the value [of] this tablet."
Cons 👎
"I am very happy with the excellent speed, battery life, keyboard, and resolution," praised a four-star reviewer, caveating, "A couple of minor disappointments: the Amazon browser is not Google, you have to charge the keyboard and turn it on and off, controls are fussier and less intuitive than iPad and most importantly — not all apps are available. Make sure you check for any apps you really need."
Another shopper said, "The only thing that annoys me about Kindle Fires is the app store is pretty worthless. I might side-load the Play Store at some point to install the NFL app so I can watch games. Otherwise, it's fine for what I am doing, which is watching videos on Netflix, Prime or YouTube."
Amazon says this is "built for relaxation" — it comes loaded with Netflix, Facebook, Kindle and other fun apps.
If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)
