Look on YouTube for reviews. It's basic but faster than my old dying Hudl.
Bit of lag loading web pages but it's £35 and not an Apple IPad lol.
Don't expect it to be amazing but I'm getting this for the lounge/kids/grandfather etc.
Yes, well as long as you have the storage space.
When these tablets are connected to your Prime membership it unlocks a feature called On Deck, which downloads a few films & programmes that you might be interested in too. Its handy as it means that there is usually something to watch when out of a WifI area.
from Amazon:
"Videos downloaded by On Deck are stored on your device or SD card depending on your storage setting. On Deck downloads in a special shadow mode, using storage only when it's available, and won't impact performance. When you download apps, videos, music, books, and other content, On Deck automatically makes room – there’s no hassle of needing to clear out the space yourself. On Deck will never block you from using your storage the way that you want."
unfortunately the On Deck feature on my Fire Tablet insist on sending me Adam Sandler movies regardless of how i set my preferences.:|
Yes, you can. Though do check if this is only 8gb or 8gb with micro SD card slot - the ones with slot take up to I think 128gb, much better for downloading loads of boxsets.
Better than /as good as my mobile phone? Picture is nice and big for granny to see as well.
I figure a robust case can be bought for £10ish but not sure how much use they'll get out of the 'fire for kids'.
How can I get my laptop movies to play on this?
Thanks
They will replace the kids one if you damage it almost no questions asked I believe
Works well, you are tied to amazon for apps, i cant fault it in any way, it is not at the level of my ipad which cost £400+ you can send pdf s to it as well, i use it without a cover and have never had any problems
At this price it is a no brainer BUY IT
Thanks
Possibly - if they come with v 5.3.2.0 or earlier of FireOS then they can be rooted and run CM12 or Fire Nexus, the former of which is no longer getting updates. If it comes with v 5.3.2.1 or later then there is no root available atm.
I've bought a few of them from argos and they tend to be older version of firmware - especially if you get it from a store that doesn't sell many & they just have them sitting in stock for a while.
I sideloaded the play store onto the one I had and disabled updates if I remember correctly, not sure if you still can on the latest ones - I used an ADB method - not really straight forward for none techies although not complicated either!
Just googled and found this how to -
LINKY
Really? Do they write for TechRadar, or Stuff Magazine, or are they just 3-8 years old maybe?
I used this method, very simple, just grabbed the very latest apk's from apkmirror.

I had mine running all the stuff from Root Junky, no Special Offers, Play Store, etc. I didn't realise you should turn off updates though. OTA update arrived and that was it.
Anyone want to buy a paperweight?
Not many Samsung tablets at this price point though!
You can side load Google play store.
so are the old ones i bought the same spec as these new ones that are for sale 8gb storage with 1gb ram and a quad core processor
I had the same thought and bought the Argos deal instead. I found similar cases on eBay for around £7 (and some had the built in stand which the Amazon one doesn't). I have Amazon Prime so I can get the fire for kids at a rate of £2/month. Taken all this into account, it seemed better to just buy the tablet at this silly price!
Also if you're not sure if the kids would like 'fire for kids' then you could just subscribe for a month and cancel at any point if you decide against it. As it's a pay monthly thing I'm presuming you can cancel and restart whenever you fancy. (Haven't tested this out yet, as the tablet is a birthday present for late May.)
yea
Would love to see a deal on its big brother - the Fire HD tablet
