The Good

Very affordable at 79.99 with special offers Display is good enough for 'consumption ' with great color accuracy Sound is surprisingly balanced Front facing camera is good for video calls Hands-free Alexa

The Bad

Processor is average but slow for heavy tasks and games No access to the Google Play Store for apps YouTube is not supported

The Bottom Line

At 80, the Fire HD 8 can be a cheap Echo Show replacement, or a basic Android tablet that works well for consuming media.
