What's your go-to tablet? For some folks, the answer is Apple's iPad. It's easy to see why — they're pretty great. But they're also expensive. The Amazon Fire HD 10 is also an excellent product, and it costs about a quarter of what you'd pay for the equivalent iPad. This model — released only last year — is 25% faster than its previous version, weighs an ounce or so less and has a terrific camera for video calling. Even better, it's only $105 during Amazon's Big Spring Sale.

Newer, faster and significantly upgraded from the previous version, the Fire HD 10 is a tablet worth checking out — especially at $75 off its already affordable price.

Why is this a good deal?

It usually takes longer before brand-new gadgets drop in price, but the Fire HD 10 is seeing a discount of over 40%. That's on par with the lowest price we've ever seen.

Why do I need this?

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, consider upgrading with this deal.

This version includes 64GB of onboard storage and comes with 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.

What reviewers say

With more than 3,400 five-star reviews in a short time, this is one popular tablet. One fan said, "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!" another shopper gushed. "I've been and still am an avid iPad user, but this device surely rivals it."

"I was gifted this tablet as a replacement for the previous generation and it's a wonderful upgrade!" said a longtime Fire fan. "Faster with a sharp display. ... The battery life is great and much better than any iPad I've owned. 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."

"The best tablet you can get," said a final reviewer. "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."
