Fancy grabbing a new tablet but don’t fancy splashing out over £300 on an iPad. Amazon might have just what you are looking for thanks to a huge deal on its Fire HD 8 tablet. This device is currently on offer for a price that’s pretty hard to believe with the online retailer dropping things to just £49.98. Yes, that’s a whopping 57 percent off the usual price. It’s also over six times cheaper than Apple’s entry-level iPad which is priced at £329.

So, what do you get for your money?

The Fire HD 8 packs an 8-inch HD display inside its shell and can keep the boxsets running for 13 hours on a single charge.

It also features front and rear cameras, a Hexa-core processor, plus full access to popular apps such as iPlayer, Netflix, Kindle and Prime Video.

Other extras include expandable storage, Alexa voice controls, and a design that Amazon promises is better for the environment. This model also has no adverts included. If you don’t mind seeing adverts, then you can get the tablet even cheaper with prices starting from just £39.99.

Now, before you dash to tap the buy button, it is worth noting that this device is not as premium as an iPad and also has a smaller screen than Apple’s devices.

All the latest iPads can also be turned into mini laptops via keyboard cases and are compatible with the Apple Pencil stylus, which lets users scribble on the screen without using fingers.

Right now, there aren’t any iPad deals available, but Black Friday 2025 officially starts next week, so expect plenty of offers to appear in the coming days.

Currently, the cheapest Apple device is the iPad, which starts from £329.
