Buy for a Great Price & Value

> 1 / 9

$49.99 from Amazon The 2019 Amazon Fire 7 tablet with Alexa offers a great value to users at $50 with Special Offers. It's very hard to find a name brand tablet with good reviews, regular software updates and a plethora of accessories under $50.  At times you can even buy the Fire 7 tablet on a monthly payment plan of $10 a month if you prefer to spread out the purchase to make it more affordable. This is not an option we see from other budget tablet makers. Amazon offers this right now for the launch of the new model, and also typically offers it during the holidays. Instead of running a very old version of Android and cutting lots corners like we see with many cheap tablets, Amazon delivers a good tablet that's actually worth more than you pay for it. Amazon claims this tablet is more durable in drop tests than the iPad and twice as durable as the iPad mini. The Special Offers help keep the price down, as does the fact that Amazon is hoping you buy a lot of stuff from them using the Fire 7 tablet, but you still get a lot of value for $49.99.
