Why we like it

At $89.99, the Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet is the most budget-friendly tablet on this week's roundup. While this isn't the tablet's lowest price ever, it's a close second, clocking in at only $10 more. With 32GB of storage and a 10.1-inch screen, this is a solid standard pick for tablet users who want a fast-processing tablet to help with productivity and enjoy some entertainment. It's also a good pick for slightly older kids: while it doesn't have the kid-proofing that Amazon's made-for-kids tablets have, you can still access Amazon Kids content on this tablet.

Why we like it

If you're shopping for something that has a larger screen, then the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ Tablet is worth considering. While today's sale only takes the price down by 7%, we're a fan of the tablet's big, 11-inch screen. Whether you use your tablet for gaming, streaming movies, or productivity, the extra surface area gives you a more immersive experience. You can also operate multiple apps at once, making this tablet a helpful selection for multitaskers.
