Select models from Amazon’s latest Fire tablets lineup are heavily discounted at the retailer right now. Prices start at just $70, and there’s something for everyone. One of our favorite offers from the sale is this 28% discount on the newest Fire HD 10 tablet, which drops the usual $180 price to only $130.

That’s $50 back in your pocket. You can save another 20% on top of the direct discount by trading in an older, eligible device, but exactly how much you get depends on what you trade in.

Reliable performance

The screen here is a 10.1-inch 1080p Full HD display that delivers vibrant, sharper visuals consistently. The device is really lightweight and durable, which makes it easy to use on the go.

The Fire HD 10 tablet offers about 25% faster performance than the previous generation. It comes with a modest 3GB of RAM, plus a 64GB storage capacity. We won’t call the 3GB of memory the best out there, and it’s likely to struggle when you have a bunch of apps running at once, but it works fine for everyday use. Tasks like basic browsing, watching YouTube, or taking video calls should be no problem. As for the storage, it offers good space for all the basic, important stuff. You can toss in your work files, some family photos, and essential apps without much worry.

One full charge gets you up to 13 hours of usage. That’s plenty of power for regular use. In fact, if you’re only using it occasionally for basic tasks, you might even be able to go a couple of days between charges! If you’re planning to use the tablet for taking notes or creative tasks, we recommend pairing it with the Amazon Stylus Pen (sold separately) for a more natural experience. It lets you write, edit, color, sketch, and more just as you would in a standard notebook.

Note that the Google Play Store isn’t supported, but you can download whichever app you need using the built-in Amazon Appstore. The tablet also comes with three new smart tools that are designed to make sending emails, reading webpages, and creating wallpapers convenient. If you’ve got kids around, an Amazon Kids+ subscription can give you instant access to thousands of books, popular apps and games, videos, songs, Audible books, and more. This makes it easy to turn it into a kids’ tablet until you’re ready to get them their own devices.

You can now grab this tablet for $130 at Amazon, down from $180 – thanks to a 28% discount.
