HEAT on the 2 year warranty for a very reliable bit of reading/browsing kit..

i would say the things going for this is

price - its right at the bottom of the price range for a usable spec
the spec itself - all things considered its very usable, screen is decent enough for size (yes we get 1080p etc on phones but the panel makes a difference and tbh, past a point at this size i dont see the difference (point in case i think i prefer my 720p redmi 3 to 1080p moto x play)
very hackable - sideloading, google play, CM, kodi, all possible
community support - asolutely rammed with support on all corners of the net
warranty - both amazon and JL are very good in the CS front and so you've pretty much got 2 year no quibble return and replace should something go wrong. im not sure you'd get the same with a linx etc

im considering picking one up myself. will i use it over my ipad mini 2 in most cases? nope. but then i'd use it differently. use cases would be taking to the gym, using as a portable hard drive with the sd card. taking it on journeys / trips where i wouldnt want to risk the ipad.

everyone has their price point to use / benefit.

if its not for you thats OK. But hopefully people can see it does the job for some.

Linx 7 is about £10-£20 more and you do get full windows on it. But the battery life is only 3 hours! As mentioned, I want a tablet for when I travel, so 3 hours is **** (as you like to put it), so the Kindle Fire 7 is perfect for me.

For someone who is so opinionated and dead certain that there are better deals/tablets out there, why not post them here on HUKD and share it with the community?

Try telling that to PC World/Currys.

Straight swap at John Lewis should it be faulty (but in otherwise good cosmetic condition) ...always handy to keep the box for that uncertainty, adds to appearance of care. :wink:

When the Amazon Fire 7'' tablet is on offer, it's on offer, everywhere! This seems to trump Tesco, Argos & Amazon with that 2 year warranty :wink: Nice one!

Don't buy it! It's afwul. Unless, you're planning on using it as a mouse mat!

I'm pretty sure under current EU law, you are offered 2 year warranty on almost all electronic products..
