I wanted to post back to let you know what I learned, with a warning (see red). I know I might be walking the line regarding this being a sb forum and me posting about tablets, but its in the vein of using the tablets as UI/Kiosks running material.
These are 'good' so maybe (?) they will have some marks? Finally, they seem to be a little laggy at times, but only by today's standards.īut for $20, you don't even need a case, as it would probably cost you more! Also, the ones I have gotten in the past were 'condition - very good. I have a USB-C -> micro adaptor handy at my charging locations. I then basically have them laying around in listening areas.Ī couple notes, they come with a charger, but this gen is Pre USB-C. I also add a few simple widgets (like weather, sports scores) and a browser. What I do is run XDA Developers 'Fire Toolbox' which removes the Amazon aspect of the tablet, adds google play, Nova Launcher, basically creating a 'stock android like' experience. I actually prefer the 8' (ease of handling, use in portrait), so for $20. I have also bought and set them up for friends. I have a few of these laying around as LMS/Material UI's with the benefit of a quick browser. $5/$10 upcharge respectively to double the memory For those in the US (and maybe elsewhere?), Woot! (Amazon closeout 'deal' arm) is selling refurbished Fire HD Tablets 7th generation (2017) for $USD20.00 for the 8' and $USD40.00 for the 10'.
