Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet

$73 (Original price: $155)

The tablet makes a great everyday screen with a bright 1080p display and a battery that lasts up to 13 hours. It is also 25% faster than the last version, meaning zero annoying lag whether you’re gaming, scrolling social media or reading. It also comes with a 5 MP camera, which you can use for video chats.

However, there are a couple of drawbacks. Our reviewer didn’t find this tablet to be a good choice for content creation and noted that if you need a very sharp display, the 1080p resolution may not be enough. It also lacks stylus support. That said, CNET Executive Editor David Carnoy found it to be “a great option for media consumption and online shopping.”

If you have little ones running around, Amazon Kids makes parenting a breeze with super-simple parental controls. The optional Kids Plus subscription gives you access to a huge collection of books, games and videos to keep them entertained for hours.
