A cheap but decent tablet

Amazon's tablets are known for their affordability and tight integration with its first-party apps like Amazon Prime, Prime Video, and so on. If you're already a frequent Amazon customer, I'd especially recommend looking into the Amazon HD Fire 8 Tablet while it's on sale for $54.99 (was $99.99).

It's hard to beat this price at nearly 50% off the cheapest option. The lower-priced model comes with 32GB storage, but you can also get the same tablet with 64GB storage for $84.99 (was $129.99). If you have an older tablet to trade in, you can also get an extra 20% off your purchase.

The Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet is a cheap tablet that's perfect for simple tasks like browsing the web, shopping online, taking notes, and even playing casual games. It's a convenient tool for taking with you to class or work when you don't want to bring an entire laptop, too. At nearly half off its retail price, I'd recommend it for people who already have a bunch of Amazon apps or who want only the bare basics. Also, pay the additional fee for the version without lockscreen ads if you can.

In our Amazon HD Fire 8 review, we highlighted its affordability and small conveniences like camera placement and port selection with support for both headphone jacks and USB-C. Amazon has since refreshed this model with a 2024 version, which is even better.

The Amazon HD Fire 8 is about as simple as you can get with a tablet. However, if all you want to do is browse the web, shop online, play casual games, and so on, then it's enough to achieve that. It's a fine choice for folks who just need a large portable screen for taking notes, too.

The Amazon HD Fire 8 has since been replaced by the Amazon HD Fire 10 in our best budget tablets, but it upgrades so little that I wouldn't urge you to pick it up unless you want the larger screen. If you have the budget (or curiosity), I would recommend looking into our best overall tablets or best Android tablets.
