Review of Amazon Tablet

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BHZT5S12

These tablets are usually half price on Black Friday. That is how I got mine.


Good Tablet for the Price

This is a tablet that does exactly what it claims to do, which is to stream audio and video extremely well. It works with an Amazon Prime account, but also other streaming services like Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu, Audible, and YouTube.

Amazon claims that the 8 core processor is fast, but the Passmark score is only barely above 1,000. That is not very impressive, but the processor is just powerful enough to do what it is designed to do.

The tablet can access the Internet fine, but the Android user interface feels clunky. I much prefer iOS, which is more intuitive.

I prefer the feel of iPads in my hands, but I am getting used to the feel of the Fire Tablet.

For hundreds of dollars more you can get an iPad that is faster than your desktop computer. However, I don't need that kind of power in a tablet when just performing basic functions.

I don't regret the purchase. It does what I need. I am thinking that people should save hundreds of dollars instead of buying much more expensive tablets.

The tablet does not come with the Google Play Store, because Amazon wants you to use their app store, but I was able to install it, which was a bit tricky, using instructions on the Internet.
