Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet, 10.1", 1080p Full HD, 64 GB, (2021 release), Black

The Fire HD 10 tablet is a solid choice for those seeking an affordable yet capable device for entertainment and casual use. With its 10.1-inch full HD display, the tablet delivers vibrant colors and sharp images, making it a great option for streaming videos, browsing the web, or reading e-books. The screen is sufficiently bright for indoor use, although it may struggle in direct sunlight.One of the standout features of the Fire HD 10 is its performance. Powered by a decent octa-core processor and 3GB of RAM, the tablet handles basic tasks and multitasking with ease. Apps load quickly, and navigation is generally smooth, though it may lag with more demanding applications.Battery life is impressive, lasting up to 12 hours on a single charge, which is perfect for extended use without the need for frequent recharging. Additionally, the Fire HD 10 supports Alexa, allowing users to control smart home devices, set reminders, and ask questions hands-free.The tablet runs on Amazon's Fire OS, which is a customized version of Android. While it offers access to Amazon's ecosystem, including Prime Video, Kindle, and Amazon Music, the lack of Google Play Store can be a drawback for those who rely on specific Android apps.The build quality is good, with a sturdy design that feels durable. However, the tablet is relatively heavy compared to some competitors, which may impact portability for some users.Overall, the Fire HD 10 tablet is an excellent option for budget-conscious consumers looking for a versatile device for media consumption and light productivity. While it may not compete with higher-end tablets in terms of performance and app availability, it offers great value for its price.

I got several of these tablets for my company for multimedia showcase; videos, websites, branding, graphic design..... they don't lag, our videos look beautiful and no matter how large the PDF is, it moves smoothly. Battery life is very good as well because we do market research on this, asking questions for a whole day. Very happy with it.

This is a great tablet for a kid. Only thing is they can't download any app they want.

I have bought 5 fire tablets, 2023 10.1, were the last two. There are several glitches in my latest that I didn't have on my others. I CA not make the type bigger with the books I read. They are in small print that I can't change. I f I tap the screen too hard it enlarges and I have to tap the screen really hard several times to get it back to the right size. I play a lot of games on this tablet and that messes me up a lot. I do like the versatilalie of this pad. I hope this helps.

Just before Christmas in 2021, this item popped up on sale for just $75. We’re an apple family. We have numerous iPads in the house, plus our iPhones, Mac, MacBooks, Apple TV, etc. I’m an audio mixer, and use a product from Avid called the S1. It’s a control surface for Pro Tools that is meant to house a tablet for additional functionality- or eye candy. My older IPad worked, but looked tiny in the cradle, and wasn’t all that useable. I wanted something bigger, but didn’t want to spend the money on yet another iPad. For $75, I was willing to roll the dice.It fits great, looks great, and does exactly what I bought it for.But then I started to explore it deeper. It has built in Alexa with the wake word Amazon. As an audio engineer working from home, I sporadically have actors coming to record. I’ve got Ring doorbells at the entrances, and Echo devices in nearly every room. But for the first time, I can say “Amazon, show me the front door!”, and actually SEE it- and a lot faster than the Ring app on my phone would allow. This was a nice bonus. In fact, in my experience and opinion, Alexa works for much quicker and more reliably than Siri, that I’ve found myself relying on it a lot more. Having Alexa in the tablet to verbalize reminders, appointments, phone calls, etc- all right in front of me, is amazing!I became fascinated with my new toy, and downloaded all the steaming media we subscribe to, plus other apps for news and weather that provide lots of content. I quickly found that I enjoyed watching tv on a 10 inch screen a lot more than on my iPhone. It’s nice to have lunch at the table with my kiddo and share a video we can both easily see and hear. So- this little guy has a great screen and works perfectly for watching shows, movies, YouTube, news, etc.Now- I love my iPhone, and have my music library in iTunes. But when I purchase music, it’s always via Amazon. This is because I get my MP3 files instantly for most albums- but then have a physical disc arrive that often goes unopened. I just like know that HAVE the disc if I ever need to load it again or want to enjoy it in my stereo system. My iPhone can store a decent amount of music internally for when streaming isn’t an option. But I was floored to learn that the HD10 2021 has a micro SD card slot that can store up to 1 TB!!! That’s amazing to me. I can preload entire series, movies, music, photos- anything I need for a long trip or chilling in downtime. For like $25 I added a 400 gig card. Why iPads don’t have this is beyond me.I work with and coach voice actors outside of my day job as a recording engineer. Having that much memory on a tablet and access to an app like WavePad, gives them the ability to record in a pinch while away from their studios. On-screen editing is also fun and easy. I actually added a nifty stylus and case to my HD10, along with a Bluetooth keyboard. It’s essentially a mobile studio, albeit limited.While I haven’t experimented a ton with this- Silk browser (which seems to run on Chrome) allows me to use Source Connect Now to tap into actors or listen to sessions remotely at “CD quality”. Of course you can also use Zoom, Skype, etc.As an apple user, I still want access to my ICloud apps, like Contacts, calendar, Pages, Keynote, Numbers, etc. You can log into your iCloud account and get it all. The trick is to choose “request desktop site”, otherwise you dead-end at “find my device”. You can even log into Apple Music via the browser. So all my apple stuff is still with me!I chose Outlook email to run my various work and personal emails and have a unified calendar. It’s perfect for what I need.For $75, I’m finding myself using it more than I have ever used my iPad. It’s the right screen size for me to actually be productive with it, while also having endless entertainment in reach. Add a case, keyboard and stylus- and you’re good to go!
