When it comes to innovation tablet, Amazon is beating the pants off Apple. That’s right, I said it. (Pardon me while I duck to avoid flaming arrows.)
More on que in a bit. For, this now: For a limited time, you can get the Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8.9 tablet for $ 189 shipped. Regular price: $ 269. And it’s new, not refurbished.
Amazon’s Fire HDX models are Also on sale: the 7-inch Fire HDX for $ 199 shipped and the Fire HDX 8.9 for $ 339, a savings of $ 30 and $ 40, respectivamente. But to my thinking the $ 189 Fire HD 8.9 is the deal to beat, and not just because you’re saving $ 80.
Well, okay, it’s definitely because you’re saving $ 80. And Also because you’re getting out the door with premium 8.9-inch tablet for $ 189. And Also Also because the Fire HD 8.9 is superior to the much more expensive iPad Mini in so many ways.
I’m not talking about specs like processor speed and pixel density, Which manufacturers love to throw around but do not really matter to most users. (That’s right, I said que, too. With tablets, there’s a law of diminishing returns When It Comes to speed and screen resolution.)
I will note from the experience que Fire HD 8.9 is plenty fast enough to do everything you need a tablet to do (stream movies, load web pages, play 3D games, etc..) and its high-resolution screen looks absolutely gorgeous . It may not be state-of-the-art like the HDX (or current Mini), but on a screen this size, I say so what.
, the Kindle’s superiority lies in the usability features Amazon has packed in: user profiles, parental controls, X-Ray for books and movies, and so on. (. Alas, you do not get the coveted MayDay feature unless you bump up to one of the HDX models) And if you subscribe to Amazon Prime, you get one of the most underrated perks ever: movies and TV shows you can download to your Kindle for offline viewing. Rest assured I’m already stocking up on episodes of “Justified” for an upcoming trip.
If you need more convincing, check out what CNET had to say about the Fire HD 8.9. (Spoiler:. “Kindle Fire The best yet”) Granted, that was before the HDX models made Their debut, but it was Also When the tablet sold for $ 299
.
For anyone in the market for a big tablet, this is without question one of the best deals to date. Grab one while you can.
Bonus deal: Planning to buy a new iPhone or iPad? Good luck getting a discount. Ah, but here’s an easy one: start your shopping trip at TopCashback and you’ll get a 3% rebate on an iPhone or iPad purchased from the Apple Store. (After you click through and sign up for an account, search for Apple, then click through to the Apple Store and order your item Normally you would like.) Granted, 3% may not seem like much, but if you’re spending $ 600 on an iPad Air, that’s $ 18 you would not have saved otherwise. I continue to be a huge fan of cashback services like this one. And the most Typically you see for Apple stuff is 1%.
Bonus deal No. 2: If you’re in the market for an unlocked phone, DealFisher has two pretty sweet deals while supplies last: the HTC Windows Phone 8X for $ 139.99 shipped and the Nokia Lumia 928 for $ 199.99 shipped. Both are refurbished, both are unlocked, and can work with both Nearly any carrier. CNET said the HTC and is called the Nokia 928
