Why we like it

At $89.99, the Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet is the most budget-friendly tablet on this week's roundup. While this isn't the tablet's lowest price ever, it's a close second, clocking in at only $10 more. With 32GB of storage and a 10.1-inch screen, this is a solid standard pick for tablet users who want a fast-processing tablet to help with productivity and enjoy some entertainment. It's also a good pick for slightly older kids: while it doesn't have the kid-proofing that Amazon's made-for-kids tablets have, you can still access Amazon Kids content on this tablet.
