The Fire HD 10 Tablet has always been an astonishingly good buy in comparison to Apple iPads and Samsung Galaxy Tabs. Amazon just sweetened the deal for the versatile 1080p full HD tablet with 32GB storage and Alexa hands-free compatibility with a significant price drop in a pre-Labor Day sale.

The Fire HD 10‘s 10.1-inch diagonal display uses its 1,920 x 1,080 resolution for fine image and video details with more than 2 million pixels, or 224 pixels per inch (PPI). Powered by a 1.8GHz quad-core processor, the Fire HD 10 is 30% faster than the previous generation with two 1.8GHz cores and two 1.4GHz cores running simultaneously. The tablet runs for up to 10 hours per battery charge. Dual-band 801.11ac Wi-Fi ensures a solid connection to handle high-resolution material, including HD video, games, and other streaming content.

Front and rear cameras on the Fire HD 10 include a 2MP rear-facing camera for photos and 720p HD video. The front-facing VGA camera is suitable for Skype video calls.

Hands-free Alexa access with the Fire HD 10 opens a full new layer of functionality. Ask Alexa to set alarms and timers, show today’s calendar, open and close applications on the tablet, make shopping lists, and many more convenient time-saving tasks. Alexa can also manage your entertainment when you ask for video, music, games, audiobooks. The Fire HD 10 can control subscriptions and Amazon Video, Amazon Music, Pandora, iHeartRadio, TuneIn, and more.

Alexa connects the Fire HD 10 to smart home configurations so you can use it to turn lights on and off, set the temperature, arm an alarm system, and anything else you would ordinarily do with via a smart speaker to control Alexa-compatible devices.

The newest version Fire HD 10 also works in Show mode, similar to an Echo Show. You can see who’s in range of your video doorbell or security cameras and talk with visitors via cameras with two-way audio support.

The Fire HD 10 is a comfortable size for reading Kindle ebooks or other content. It’s also large enough that you can see notifications and information from further away than with smaller tablets or smart displays.

Normally priced at $150, the Fire HD 10 is just $100 during this sale. If you want a powerful, versatile tablet, this is a great opportunity to buy the largest Fire tablet at an awesome price.

Amazon Fire 7 -- $40, was $60

If you want what's arguably the cheapest tablet that's still worth your money, you want a Fire tablet. The Amazon Fire 7 is the cheapest of Amazon's cheap tablets. It's not going to set the world on fire in terms of performance or display quality, but it gives you easy access to tons of apps, you can watch videos and browse the web on it, and -- of course -- it's fine for reading books and magazines. It's not a bad little device to consider getting if you have a Prime account, as it'll let you take full advantage of your membership benefits. If you can up your budget just a bit, though, then the Fire HD 8 might be a better buy.

This 10-inch Lenovo tablet is $129 for Cyber Monday (selling fast)
Lenovo Tab M10 Plus.

Cyber Monday tablet deals aren't just about Cyber Monday iPad deals. If you're willing to give Android-powered tablets a try and you're on a tight budget, then you should consider the third-generation Lenovo Tab M10 Plus. Walmart is selling the tablet for just $129, for $70 in savings from its original price of $199. However, with more than 1,000 units sold over the past 24 hours and similar deals already selling out, we're not sure if this offer will last until the end of the day. Finalize your purchase as soon as you can.

Why you should buy the Lenovo Tab M10 Plus (3rd-gen)
Lenovo's no stranger to our list of the best Android tablets, and it's got another excellent product on the market with the third-generation Lenovo Tab M10 Plus. The tablet is powered by an octa-core processor and 4GB of RAM, which beats the recommendations of a quad-core processor and at least 2GB of RAM by our guide on how to pick a tablet. With these specifications, you won't experience any slowdowns or crashes while you're multitasking between the apps that you can download from the Google Play Store. The Lenovo Tab M10 Plus comes with Android 12 out of the box, but you can immediately upgrade it to Android 13.
