Also: Best early Black Friday tablet deals you can buy now Amazon's Fire tablets are among the most affordable tablets you'll find. While some apps you may be familiar with through Android and iPadOS tablets aren't readily available from Amazon's app store, you can open most services through the Amazon browser. Also: Best early Black Friday iPad deals What are the caveats of the base model Fire HD tablet? 32GB of storage and lock screen ads. I'm more accepting of the latter since the ads only appear on the lock screen, which you'll hardly spend time on if you plan to use this tablet for media consumption and browsing. Like most tablets in this price range, the Fire HD 10's performance can be sluggish sometimes, but you'll have no issues shopping, browsing social media, or checking your email. The 13-hour battery life also means you can go longer without charging the tablet. The Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet is a great deal if you've been shopping for a budget-friendly tablet, whether for casual consumption or for a child. And if you can snag it for just $50, it makes a great entertainment tablet as we head into the holiday season. Looking for the next best product? Get expert reviews and editor favorites with ZDNET Recommends. How I rated this deal Since the offer discounts the tablet by 50% (or more if you use the discount code), it gets a 5/5 rating by ZDNET's deals standard. I'd be less enthusiastic about the tablet if it cost more than $100, but the fact that you can get it for as low as $50 makes it one of the easier devices for me to recommend this holiday shopping season.
