Featured deal: Up to 37% off all Amazon Fire tablets

Amazon’s Fire tablets have rarely been more affordable than they are today. Every model is seeing a big price drop in this limited-time promotion, so you can be streaming, working, or shopping from one of these devices for as little as $39.99.

The biggest savings to be had are on the biggest of the Amazon tabs: the Fire 10 HD. It includes a 10.1-inch 1080p full HD display and an octa-core 2.0GHz MediaTek processor — said to be 30% faster than the previous generation of the tablet. You also get up to 12 hours of battery life, and the storage is expandable to 512GB via a microSD slot. The 32GB, ad-supported model is on offer for just $94.99 ($55 off) at the moment, but there are similar discounts on all variants.

Amazon Fire Tablet deals

Amazon’s Fire line of tablets is one of the most affordable ways to dip into the experience, with some models starting well under $100. You can choose from a few sizes — 7, 8, or 10-inches — and all of the tablets run Amazon’s own Fire OS. You won’t find the familiar Google Play Store here, but you should be able to get by with the Kindle app, Prime Video, and more.

Microsoft Surface Pro deals

If you want to seriously consider replacing your laptop with a tablet, the Microsoft Surface line is the way to go. They often drop the mobile-based chipset for a full-sized Intel Core processor. You’ll also find larger 12-inch displays on the flagship Surface Pro line. The high-end Surface Pro X even lets you tap into 4G LTE connectivity for work on the go. Take a look at the deals here:
