The Truth About Amazon’s Fire HD 10: A Soulless, Ad-Infested Tablet for the Desperate
Are you tired of being ripped off by Apple’s overpriced iPads? Do you just want a cheap, soulless tablet to mindlessly consume media on? Look no further than Amazon’s Fire HD 10, a device that’s so desperate for attention it’s willing to sacrifice your sanity for a fraction of the cost.
This pathetic excuse for a tablet boasts a 10.1-inch 1920 x 1200 display that’s only "surprisingly sharp" if you’re willing to ignore the fact that it’s a glorified e-reader with a processor that’s older than your grandma. The 3GB of RAM is just enough to keep your browser open, but don’t even think about trying to multitask or you’ll be stuck in a never-ending loop of frustration.
But hey, at least it’s got a USB-C port and a 3.5mm headphone jack, right? And who needs a decent camera or a decent speaker when you’re just going to use it to watch cat videos on YouTube?
And don’t even get me started on the ads. Oh, the ads. You’ll be treated to a constant barrage of lock screen ads, because Amazon wants to make sure you know that you’re not actually buying a tablet, you’re buying a way to advertise to you. And if you want to get rid of them, you’ll have to shell out an extra $15. Because, of course, you will.
But hey, at least it’s cheap, right? You can get this piece of junk for a whopping $74.99, which is only $65 more than the price of a decent pair of socks. And if you’re an Amazon Prime subscriber, you can even get it for an all-time low of $74.99! Because, you know, Amazon loves you and wants to make sure you’re happy with your soulless, ad-infested tablet.
So go ahead, treat yourself to this monstrosity. Your eyes (and your sanity) will thank you.
