It says in the description " Android 5 operating system." so I guess you do not need to upgrade them :wink:

N7 might not still be manufactured but they are still being sold for about 100£ (Argos for example had them for 98£ recently) and honestly it is still the best device for money you can get for what you described. (I own 2 and a fire and if you want to watch anything on it go for N7, the screen on the fire is really low res and while it has good colors and viewing angles, being an IPS one it is noticeably low res.) If you want to browse the net, read, watch movies go for N7 it is simpler and much much better (worth the extra over fire imo). Fire is great for kids or as a remote or as a device to play games.
Just an advice that will help you in googling, in Android world "jailbreaking" is called "rooting".
To get the play store installed in addition to amazon one you don't need to root, just follow a very brief and simple tutorial set by "root junky" to whose YouTube video I link.
If you want to get rid of amazon stuff and put cm 12.1 on the fire, you do need to root. (99% of the time if you develop a fault on Android, you can revert to stock rom and hide the root so you can send it for warranty repair).
The tutorial for this is 15 minutes long and presumes no previous knowledge of rooting or anything (this is if you are on 5.0.1, so if you didn't let it update after you received it). http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4dwguHoxTvo
In general if you don't mind you can pick up N7 2013 for 50-70£ refurb/used (I got a 16GB from Amazon warehouse, very good for 54£, so that might be worth a check.) And I would say that is your best bet.
Fire with fire OS is sluggish and unintuitive but it does work well compared to other similar offerings while fire with cm 12.1 is much faster and in general on a new level,especially if you like to play around with it.
Hope it helps

And it takes you 5 minutes following an online tutorial to make them play store-ish and remove ads on the process. It takes you further 10 minutes to put cyanogenmod on it which works like a charm.
(a small piece of advice, stop the tablet from getting OTA updates, the flashing of cm12 is much easier if you are on 5.0.1).

Good reviews, not even a 720p screen but at this price point one shouldn't complain.

It's more complex than that.
You need to check the specific part niumber on the tablet against the list on Lenovo's site.
I bought a blue one from Argos a few weeks ago. Lenovo says its upgrade to 5 has yet to be announced. Web site here
