[Deal] Amazon’s Fire 7-inch tablet now $10 off for a limited time

Amazon-Fire-7-hero-ta

Amazon offers some really great value in its Fire tablet, priced at only $ 50. And now, they’re adding even more value by offering the 7-inch tablet for an additional $ 40 off!

The tablet is normally priced at $ 50, but the $ 10 discount will bring it down to $ 40. The model without special offers regularly costs $ 65, but this discount brings it down to an appealing $ 55, which is about the same price as the version with special offers at no discount.

As far as specifications go, this 7-inch tablet has a 1.3GHz quad-core processor in tow, 8GB of internal storage, a front and rear camera, and a decent battery that should hold up to a little over a day of frequent usage. At a resolution of 1024 x 600, the display isn’t the best, but still hard to pass up at that temporary $ 40 rate.

There’s currently no official timeline as to when the discount will end, so you may want to snatch up this tablet rather quickly. At $ 40, the Fire 7-inch tablet truly offers some of the best value on the market (review here), and is a hard one to pass up.

Anyone plan on buying?

Nvidia’s SHIELD Tablet X1 is spotted on benchmarking site

nvidia_shield_tablet_9448

It’s been an interesting year for Nvidia, what with the worldwide recall of its SHIELD Tablet thanks to some battery issues that caused the tablet to become a potential fire hazard. In recent weeks, the graphics company released a revised version of the tablet called the SHIELD Tablet K1, which has been well-received. Moving on, Nvidia is in the process of developing a new SHIELD Tablet sporting the powerful Tegra X1 processor, which has been spotted being put through its paces on GFXBench. 

According to the benchmark results, this new tablet, appropriately called the SHIELD Tablet X1, sports the following specifications:

  • Android 6.0 Marshmallow
  • 8-Inch Full HD display (1920 x 1200 resolution)
  • Nvidia Tegra X1 quad-core processor @ 1.9GHz (Cortex A57 – ARMv8) & GPU
  • 3GB RAM
  • 32GB Internal storage
  • Unspecified front and rear cameras
  • Bluetooth/WiFi/GPS/Compass

It isn’t known whether the SHIELD Tablet X1 supports MicroSD memory cards, nor what the megapixel count is for the front and rear cameras. NFC is one feature that appears to be missing as well. It’s good to see that the tablet is running Marshmallow from the outset, though. It’s unknown when Nvidia’s SHIELD Tablet X1 will be officially announced, but CES 2016 just around the corner, you can guarantee more details will be announced or leaked in the coming weeks.
