The Amazon Fire 7 is Amazon’s entry-level tablet, and makes a great companion for anybody who spends a lot of time browsing the web and getting comfortable with an ebook. It sports a 7-inch screen in a very portable frame, but still packs a punch with a quad-core processor for anybody looking to do some gaming or watch movies on the go. The Fire 7 has front and rear-facing cameras, ensuring you’ll never miss a selfie, Instagram photo, or video chat. If a good weekend binge watch is what brings you in search of a tablet, the Fire 7 allows up to seven hours of battery life, as well as access to streaming apps such as Netflix, Hulu, and others. The Fire 7 is Amazon’s most affordable tablet option, and is only $35 today.

Another affordable option for tablet-seekers is the Amazon Fire HD 8, which brings an 8-inch screen as well as up to 12 hours of battery life on a single charge. This is perhaps a more fitting option than the Fire 7 for professionals, creators, adventurers, and others who plan to do lots of mobile computing away from an outlet. The Fire HD 8 also introduces a USB-C port to the Fire lineup, allowing for faster charge times, as well as the ability to connect external devices. Another great feature of the entire Amazon Fire lineup is its compatibility with Amazon Alexa, which brings voice commands to your tablet experience. It’s not often you find a top-notch tablet for under $100, and the Amazon Fire HD 8 is close to half that price with this flash sale today.

Some tablet deals slash the prices of high-end models, but some make already affordable options even cheaper. Here's an example of the latter -- the Onn 7-inch tablet, originally priced at $59, is down even further to just $49. The $10 in savings isn't much, but you might as well take it if you're only planning to get a tablet for basic functions. There's a chance that stocks run out quick though, so you'll have to proceed with the purchase quickly if you think this is perfect as your next device.

Why you should buy the Onn 7-inch tablet
The best tablets will let you do practically anything -- including edit video files, multitask between apps, and play demanding video games -- but why spend so much when all you'll be doing are simple activities like reading e-books, browsing the internet, and watching streaming shows? The affordable but dependable Onn 7-inch tablet may already be enough for you, with its 2.0 GHz quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM. It's also equipped with a 7-inch LCD touchscreen with 1024 x 600 resolution, which isn't the sharpest display but still decent considering the tablet's price.
