I didn't encounter as many performance quirks as I was expecting.

As with the Fire HD 8, download times were also on the slow side. To be sure, everything from apps to videos take at least a handful of seconds to load, especially if they're bigger file. James Martin/CNET Is it unbelievably slow? It's not ugly or anything, but top tablets today feature sleek, super-slim constructions and the Fire looks dowdy and unfashionable in comparison. Its thick girth and big bezels make it look more like a tablet that came out in 2011 instead of 2015. We, however, did not put this to the test.

Yet its hefty weight makes it feel solid - if you were to keep squeezing, it doesn't feel as though it wouldn't crack in two. If you give the tablet a small squeeze both front and back panels slightly cave in. The plastic construction does feel a bit flimsy. However, if you're not a Prime member the Fire tablet does little to change your mind about what you should expect from a tablet that costs $50 or £50. No other tablet will give you the same perks for such a low price.

You can also download them all for offline use, onto a memory card or the internal storage.

The operating system is tailor-made for watching and playing all of the TV shows, movies, music and games that come with your membership. We've never seen tablet at this price that was worth recommending. The review answers the important questions by focusing on what the Fire has to offer, if it's worth buying and, if so, for whom. Since it's a tablet with specs so dated we haven't reviewed a comparable model in over two years, it's an exception to the rule. Just like the Fire, this review is simplified to the bare essentials. At a price this low, you can buy six of them for less than the cost of one Apple iPad Mini 2 - you pay for five and Amazon throws in the sixth for free. For an undiscerning user, the Fire is simply an inexpensive device for watching video, reading, light gaming, browsing the Web and, of course, shopping the Amazon store. In fact, it's a great option for those who don't care much about technology at all. The 8GB kid's version costs $100, and the 16GB model costs $120.Īt its low price, the Fire is an attractive option for frugal customers who don't care about the latest and greatest technology. Also included is a worry-free guarantee that gives you access to unlimited replacements for two years. There's also a kid's version of the Fire that comes with a protective case and one-year subscription to FreeTime Unlimited, which offers kid-friendly books, movies, TV shows, educational apps, and games. (For $20, you can buy a 64GB microSD card on Amazon.) And the Fire includes a microSD expansion slot so you can add storage on your own up to 128GB. Since we last reviewed the Fire, Amazon has expanded the available color options to include magenta, blue and tangerine in addition to black, and added a $70 version with 16GB of internal storage - twice the capacity of the $50 version. (You can evaluate the competition in CNET's roundup of budget tablets under $200.) Bottom line: no other tablet delivers comparable value at such a low price. (Amazon briefly sold it for $35 during the run up to its Prime Day sale event in July.) If you're an Amazon Prime member, you get a tablet that serviceably plays all of the TV shows, movies, music and games that come with your membership you can also download them all for offline use. But, at $50, it does so extremely inexpensively. The Fire delivers middling performance and a mediocre display.
