This tablet is absolute fi-yah. Cause it's a Fire tablet. Get it? (Amazon)
No bones about it: Bigger screens are better, especially for entertainment. So if you're tired of playing games and watching videos on your tiny phone, grab a tablet — specifically, the Amazon Fire HD 10, which is on sale ahead of Labor Day for just $90. That's $50 off the regular price and one of the better deals I've seen. It's roughly the same size as Apple's iPad 10.2 — which, even on sale for $199, is more than twice the price. The Fire HD 10 has ample horsepower for everything you'd want to do with a tablet, making this deal even more amazing.

Make fighting with your family members over power outlets a thing of the past, courtesy of this electrifying gadget. It's equipped with five AC outlets and four USB ports, enough for everyone to charge their iPads, iPhones, MacBooks (you get the picture) all at once. Oh, and it's so much sleeker than having a power strip on your floor — and you won't have to worry about tripping over it.
No, it's not a massive discount, but this bestseller is within a dollar of its all-time low (and it's retailed for as much as $20 in the past).
Ready to finally trade your fraying wired earbuds for a sleek pair of Apple AirPods? These second-gen top-sellers have hundreds of thousands of perfect ratings for a reason — well, multiple reasons: clear, rich sound quality, 24-hour battery life and the fact that you won't find yourself tangled up in cords if you accidentally fall asleep with them in. Apple is one of those brands that doesn't really need to have sales since their products are so in demand. That said, we'll take $49 off when we can!
"I've had a real problem with finding comfortable earbuds and for years have stuck to the one [pair of] corded earbuds that were comfortable and didn't fall out," wrote one Apple convert. "I thought it was finally time to try these as I transitioned to only having a cell phone. I was surprised at how comfortable they are. The sound quality is good, and the charge lasts a long time. I'm a believer!"
If you're guilty of being a little (or very) forgetful, an AirTag may just be that piece of tech you didn't know you needed. It doesn't feel or look too "techy." In fact, it's completely uncomplicated. Just attach it to whatever you tend to misplace often or need to keep track of, like your wallet, keys or luggage. You'll always know where it is using the "Find My" app on your phone. It's among our picks for the best Bluetooth trackers on the market.
"I use these for everything as a chronic misplacer," a savvy shopper said. "My most recent purchase was for my cat's collar because she hides all over the house. It provides great peace of mind!"
Insignia's 24-inch TV is a popular choice thanks to its 1,080-pixel resolution and Fire TV capabilities — you can stream more than a million shows and movies. And now, the TV's already low price is even lower than before. The Alexa-equipped remote makes it easy to flip through channels using just your voice. We've yet to see it go on sale for less.
You can't really put a price on having more peace of mind, but we'll take 45% off! This isn't the absolute lowest it's been, but it's the best price we're seeing on the internet for this popular model.
You, your kids and your grandkids will have a blast playing with this much-loved drone, which easily connects to your phone for taking photos and videos from above. Use it in the yard, or even bring it on your next trip for a bird's-eye view of your summer vacation. And, oh yeah: It can do 360-degree flips! Get it for nearly 80% off.
Newer, faster and significantly upgraded from the previous version, the Fire HD 10 is a tablet worth checking out.
Need a bit more heft in a tablet? This 64GB version is only $10 more for double the storage. Like its little brother, it comes loaded with Netflix, Facebook, Kindle and other fun apps.
This is still a relatively new tablet (it debuted in 2023), and it normally sells for $140 — already a pretty good deal given the specs (see below). Amazon lopped $50 off, making it a borderline spectacular deal.
If you don't have a tablet and you're considering your options, you can't go wrong with the Amazon Fire HD 10. And if you already have a Fire tablet you love, here's your chance to upgrade for a song.
This version includes 32GB of onboard storage (expandable!) and 3GB of RAM. The screen is 10.1 inches across and displays content in 1080p resolution — that's high-definition. You can expect up to 13 hours of battery life, depending on what you're doing. For example, reading a book will use less energy than streaming a video.
You'll get 5-megapixel front- and rear-facing cameras that make video chats clearer than ever. The Fire HD 10 can do it all, fans say, serving as everything from a communication device to an entertainment powerhouse. You can even write on it with a Made for Amazon Stylus Pen (sold separately), which means you can use it for taking notes, jotting down ideas and more.
More than 7,100 fans have left nearly flawless reviews for this little powerhouse.
One fan gushed about the speed of the tablet: "I've had several Fire tablets over the years. This one is my favorite. It's very responsive and fast."
"Can I say, 'oh my gosh?'" asked one fan who said it's a solid iPad competitor. "I've been and still am an avid iPad user, but this device surely rivals it."
"The battery life is great and much better than any iPad I've owned," said another fan who was thrilled at its longevity. "The only productivity I use this for is word processing and note-taking with the Microsoft apps. Otherwise, I use it for reading, some games, and light internet browsing. It's my downtime tablet."
"It does it all and more," said yet another happy buyer. "I was on the fence between an iPad or this Fire Tablet. I am glad I chose this item because it does everything I was looking for a tablet to do. Also, the size is great, and if it breaks or gets misplaced/lost, not a big deal."
Although fans love the tablet, the app store leaves a bit to be desired, some say. "The only thing that annoys me about Kindle Fires is the app store is pretty worthless. I might side-load the Play Store at some point to install the NFL app so I can watch games. Otherwise, it's fine for what I am doing, which is watching videos on Netflix, Prime or YouTube."
If you want to use this outside, be warned: You might have a hard time seeing it. "My biggest complaint was brightness. It could not be used in bright daylight, in the shade, even at the brightest screen setting. Furthermore, when reading digital magazines, it was necessary to expand the view — with reading glasses!"
If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)
