All-new Fire HD 8 Plus tablet | 8-inch HD display, 64 GB and 3 GB RAM is one excellent value tablet which is extremely easy to use due to the excellent high-definition screen and the fact Amazon has created a first-class tablet which delivers everything the manufacturer promises.
I love the feel and quality of the tablet and also it is so comfortable to hold even when in use for a prolonged period of time. It delivers the information and data quickly and in a clean display, as well as holding a charge for a much longer time compared to other computer tablets which are so much more expensive to purchase.
It is lightweight as well as clean and lines and looks good too when in use.
A first-class computer tablet which is sold at a great price.

Efficient and surprisingly good
Im comparing this to a lenovo chrome tablet I recently returned. I think this is a lot better, the screen is more responsive with less lag. Speakers very good quality. Ill be honest amazon app store is rubbish - but its very easy to load APK files, which you cant do on chrome os anymore. If you dont really like google, and dont need the features of an ipad, this is great frankly. Charging is ok, not that fast. I have not fully charged up yet so cant comment on battery life. Silk browser is really fast and well optimised, and if offers to disable alexa with a pop up, thats so nice compared to having to mess with developer options to disable and enable stuff. Its kinda of funny that fire os has become one of the least obtrusive with google and microsofts actions, ill probably stick with kindle fires for any tablet needs in future. Recommended 9/10, only avoid if you need play services in full or heavy app usage like photo editing, then youll need to spend a lot more anyway.
