The Amazon Fire HD 8 is the best tablet to snag during Prime Day

If you buy any tablet during Prime Day, make sure it's this one.

Prime Day is almost over, which means the thousands of deals and discounts we've been treated to will soon disappear. There is still some time left to buy, and if you're shopping for a new tablet, there's one, in particular, you can't miss out on. It's the Amazon Fire HD 8, and it's the best Prime Day tablet deal of the entire year.

Amazon Fire HD 8 | $55 off at Amazon

$55 at Amazon

Prime Day saw a lot of excellent tablet deals, but without a doubt, the Fire HD 8 is one of the best. Amazon's 8-inch Android tablet is already really affordable throughout the year, but for Prime Day, it saw a generous 39% discount. The Fire HD 8 has a great display, all-day battery life with USB-C charging, and a fast quad-core processor.

The Fire HD 8 isn't the absolute most powerful tablet you can buy, but if you're looking for something to watch movies, play games, and browse the web without breaking the bank, it's kind of perfect. It's already affordable with a retail price of just $90, but if you act fast before Prime Day is over, you can buy it for just $55.

For those $55, you're getting an absolutely killer deal.

As the name Fire HD 8 suggests, the tablet is equipped with an 8-inch HD display that looks great no matter what you're doing. It's large enough without being too cumbersome, is plenty sharp with good colors, and has slim bezels all around while still being comfortable to hold. It's also made out of high-quality plastic which is available in black, red, blue, and white variants.

As for other specs, the Fire HD 8 has everything you need to be fast and reliable. The new quad-core processor is 30% faster compared to the previous model, you can choose between 32 or 64GB of storage, and Amazon promises all-day battery life. When it comes time to charge up, there's a USB-C port!

Being an Amazon product, it shouldn't come as any surprise that Alexa is fully integrated with the Fire HD 8. Just say "Alexa" at any time — even if the screen is turned off — and you can ask the assistant whatever you'd like. It's pretty cool.

The Fire HD 8 is an excellent buy at any time, but if you were already planning on buying a tablet (or just want to make an impulse purchase), we strongly recommend picking it up now while it's on sale. So, what are you waiting for? Go go go!

The hidden cost of food delivery

Noah Lichtenstein Contributor Share on Twitter Noah Lichtenstein is the founder and managing partner of Crossover , a diversified private technology fund backed by institutional investors, technology execs and professional athletes and entertainers. More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
