We've said it before, but it bears repeating: iPads are not your only tablet option. Unless you're a diehard Apple fanatic or you want your tablet to double as a laptop, the iPad is probably much more sophisticated than most people even need. If you just want a device that can do the basics like stream content and browse the web, you can save a whole lot of money by opting for an Amazon Fire tablet instead.

Even at full price, Fire tablets are significantly cheaper than most major tablet brands on the market. But as of Jan. 13, you can find every model on sale for up to 44% off, making it a particularly great time to grab one.

Amazon sneakily released a brand new Fire HD 8 tablet in October to coincide with its fall Prime Day event and it's already seen a slew of discounts in the months since. As of Jan. 13, it's on sale for just $64.99 — that's 35% in savings and just $10 away from its best price ever. Its biggest upgrades over the previous generation from 2022 are a boost in RAM (3GB instead of 2GB), an improved camera (5MP instead of 2MP), and new generative AI-powered features (of course). Otherwise, it packs the same solid battery life, storage options, and display.

If you're looking to spend the least amount of money on a new tablet, the Fire 7 checks all the right boxes. It's not going to blow you away; as Senior Shopping Reporter Haley Henschel wrote in her review, it's a "deeply average tablet." But for the price, it's hard to complain. It's a solid pick for travel with an ultra-portable build, hands-free Alexa support, up to 1TB of expandable memory, and decent battery life (up to 10 hours). It's only $79.99 at full price, but as of Jan. 13, it's on sale for only $44.99. That's 44% in savings and "basically a Get Out of Jail Free card for all of its faults."

Best for kids

Our top pick for a tablet for preschoolers, the Amazon Fire 7 Kids is a durable first device that's packed with parental controls. Its rubbery case was built to withstand drops and spills, but if your toddler does manage to break it, Amazon will send you a new one anytime within two years. Its intuitive parental controls are built right into the system, making it simple to customize screen time limits, age filters, limited access to specific apps, and schedules. It comes with a free year of Amazon Kids+, which unlocks access to over 20,000 kid-appropriate apps. It doesn't have an HD screen, but does your 3-year-old actually care about that? It's usually $99.99, but you can snag it for just $59.99 as of Jan. 13 and save 40%.
