Deal: Amazon’s new Fire HD 8 tablet is just $60 (save $30)

Amazon's Fire tablets are among the best value for money tablets around, even though Google support isn't available out of the box.

The Fire HD 8 is one of the latest entries in this range, and it packs a ton of value for money at $89.99. Fortunately, Amazon is going even further by cutting the price of the tablet by $30 as part of its Deal of the Day promotion. In other words, you can get this slate for just $59.99.

This deal is for the 2GB/32GB model and applies to the model with Special Offers advertising on the lockscreen. Don't care for ads on your tablet? Then you'll be paying $74.99 (was $104.99). Either way, this is a notable discount.

The Amazon Fire HD 8 also packs an 8-inch HD screen, a MediaTek MT8168 chipset (quad core Cortex-A53 CPU), a 2MP rear camera, 2MP selfie camera, USB-C, and a battery slated to last for 12 hours.

Tablets aren't the hot commodity that they once were. As a result, we're seeing fewer models, less diverse options and less choice all around. The good news is that it is increasingly easy to find …

"The Amazon Fire HD 8 isn't a quality tablet by any means, but at $89.99 it's an amazing deal for those who are invested in the Amazon ecosystem," our own Edgar Cervantes concluded in his Fire HD 8 review.

Unfortunately, Edgar added that those looking for a general tablet should steer clear, citing the lack of Google apps, slow performance in social networking apps, and the UI. Still, it makes sense if you've got an Amazon Prime subscription and use the firm's various services.
