Featured deal: Save $100 on this Fire HD 10 Plus bundle
If you missed the recent price drop on many Amazon devices, don’t sleep on this deal. The Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus Productivity Bundle is now just $199.99 ($100 off) just in time for the new school year.
As the latest and greatest tablets from Amazon, the Fire HD 10 and HD 10 Plus both offer excellent displays, great battery life, and solid performance. That’s all well and good, but it’s not ideal to get your work or studies done without a keyboard or software. That’s where the Productivity Bundle comes in.

Amazon Fire Tablet deals
Amazon’s Fire line of tablets is one of the most affordable ways to dip into the experience, with some models starting well under $100. You can choose from a few sizes — seven, eight, or 10-inches — and all of the tablets run Amazon’s own Fire OS. You won’t find the familiar Google Play Store here, but you should be able to get by with the Kindle app, Prime Video, and more.

- Fire 10, Bluetooth keyboard, and 12 months of Microsoft 365 for $170 ($100 0ff)
- Fire HD Plus tablet and wireless charging dock for $140 ($10 off)
Microsoft Surface Pro deals
If you want to seriously consider replacing your laptop with a tablet, the Microsoft Surface line is the way to go. They often drop the mobile-based chipset for a full-sized Intel Core processor. You’ll also find larger 12-inch displays on the flagship Surface Pro line. The high-end Surface Pro X even lets you tap into 4G LTE connectivity for work on the go. Take a look at the deals here:
- Surface Pro X (13-inch, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) for $989 ($310 off)
