Those were the $50 ones that were pretty slow. Might want to wait until near Christmas to see another multipack sale.

Yeah, but that's good for those that have Amazon Prime subs and you can sideload the Google Play store like always.

Going to get this microsd to go with it. All I need now is a small bluetooth keyboard.

You can get a chink full x86 tablet for that

Not at 720p.

the only thing I hate about the Amazon skin is the fact that the amazon app store is fucking garbage

I can't do shit on my KF2 w/o google apps

I just loaded Cyanogenmod 11 on it and it works better than it ever has.

Enjoy your garbage display I guess.

Nobody with half a brain would buy that garbage.

enjoy your 2.5 hours screen on time
hot Intel CPU
no support
no warranty
no customer support
terrible build quality
exploding battery
supporting a chinese company instead of an American one
Spyware preinstalled


Sounds like a bad deal
>>
>>56502583
Is this your first amazon ""tablet"" purchase I take it?

Protip- they get about 1/3 of that when actually watching content.

The 3 hours the chinkshit has is terrible too, but it is running windows as well.
>>
>>56502560

Display looks great though

It's a fucking tablet. Besides, I bet my Atom's better than your ARM processor

I fail to see the issue.

Too much for a tablet with a shit screen and Amazon's version of Android.
>>
>>56502755
great, more overpriced google shit that tries to emulate Apple

Why not just get an Ipad Air 2? The single core IPC from the Ipad Air will probably still shit on the SD830's when it's eventually released

Why do you need hand holding from pajeet to use a fucking tablet running android?

But there is one you fucking idiot

See above
>terrible build quality
Better then the entire fire line and nexus
>exploding battery
They use the same batteries that anyone else does, they all come from china anyway
>supporting a chinese company instead of an American one
Oh yes, because these wonderful US companies pay all these taxes, and not hide everything in offshore accounts

As if amazon doesn't know everything about you as well

heres your reply

>>56501096
Nice, saw it this morning and had been holding out to buy a tablet.

Though I think it still might be more than I need to try out my apps.

Don't know if it's worth it yet. Maybe if Fire 7" is $35 again I can go for that.
>>
>>56502802
>Why not just get an Ipad Air 2?

It's Apple.
>>
>>56502802
I'm referring to the 7" one that huawei will make, not the C, which should be considerably less than an air price wise

>tries to emulate apple
all they need now is to remove the 3.5mm.

>responding to bait is somehow out of my way

>Maybe if Fire 7" is $35 again I can go for that.
I have a feeling they are going to drop the $50 tablet.
>>
>>56502955
all they need to do is

make their app stoer the premier mobile app store
make their hardware synonymous with top of the line quality
make their brand a respectable brand for someone to own
not be riddled with problems, like light bleed, terrible battery life, terrible CPU's, over specced pieces of shit that are still outperformed by dual core iPad/Iphones

Nah. I think I'll look at a Nexus.

>huee benchmarrs
yes, all that makes a huge difference while shitposting and streaming on a sub <150$ device

how much of a cuck are you? apple has fallen far from grace, i dont even need to bring up the shitty lighting cables or magsafes either.
>>
>>56503255
Honestly, it seems really simple to sideload the Play Store. Just watched a video this morning, it's four apks to download, install in a certain order, then restart. Looks like less than 5 minutes.

Though all the other Amazon stuff makes it seem clunky.

Looks like they're charging you 90 dollars to take their rubbish away from them. I guess as you said, streaming in bed is about the only use for something with no memory like this if you don't have a TV. i'd ztill look for something cheap and 1080p but I stream locally and throw hissy fits when i see someone referring to yify torrents as HD
>>
>>56503426
Most Netflix and Prime shows only do 720p, like Doll House, Sopranos, Star Trek, etc.
>>
>>56503465
See the full specs here to compare:
>>56501506

Fire has 1.5GB of RAM. I assume the 0.5 is allocated to GPU.

Here is the keyboard and the microsd order.
I wanted the keyboard mainly for windows, but it will be nice to have for the Fire and my iPhone. Works with all three.
>>
>>56503506
Nook HD did come out in 2012.

Lack of RAM in tablets in general is unsettling.
>>
>mfw got a nexus 7 1st AND 2nd gen bundled together for 105 bucks US

Just get a nexus 7 (2013)

1080p screen
2 GB ram
1.50 GHz
8-10 hour battery life
Clear speakers

Only issue is light bleeding after a while but it's not noticeable while in use
>>
>>56503594
I hate buying used stuff like that. I treat my stuff good and other people don't and make it look like crap..
>>
>>56502908
Fire 7" is shit.
>>
>>56503710
Both came with cases and one came with original box. They were flawless (except the nexus 2013 had suffered some light bleeding but like I said, hardly noticeable)

I now use the nexus 1st gen when I'm outside and keep the 2nd gen at home for Netflix and chill.
>>
>>56503710
So buy from someone who treats their stuff like you do. Don't even fucking pretend you're the only one who doesn't handle their shit like an ape

Also had to order an sdxc card reader. The one I have couldn't do the bigger cards. This tablet is getting pricy!
