If you’re in the market for a new tablet, there are really only two games in town. You can pay a premium and pick up one of Apple’s iPads, or you can get way more bang for your buck and opt for one of Amazon’s Fire tablets. With the latter, you’ll enjoy solid specs, killer battery life, an above-average display, and you’ll get access to Amazon’s wildly popular virtual assistant Alexa. Plus, you’ll save hundreds of dollars compared to the price of an iPad — especially if you snag a Fire Tablet right now.
For a limited time, Amazon is offering the 8GB Fire Essentials Bundle for $49.99 or the 16GB Fire Essentials Bundle for $69.99 using the promo code FIREBUNDLE. Those are the prices Amazon charges for just the tablets alone, but in the bundle you’ll also get a genuine Amazon cover and a screen protector. The code will only work from now until the end of the day on Saturday, February 4, so grab one while you can.
Here are some highlights from the product page:
