Don't buy a fire tablet then? Or pay another tenner to have the ad free version.

Google xda :wink: There are solutions out there

i think its general for all av

Because you'll only buy it if someone tells you this is a special price?

People shouldn't judge a good deal on how much 'off' it is but how much you're actually paying for something and is that something worth it.

Better performance as less work for the GPU, better battery life and it also allows the units to be sold at a more competitive price. For the slight difference you'd notice in image quality on a small screen and the fact that most people don't watch 1080p media on tablets, 720p is the better option

This is true, I've done it on 2 fires and a kindle.

errrm. slower. worse screen. not locked to iOS/iTunes (thats good or bad, depending on opinion). RAM is smaller - which means switching between apps will be slower, if the two dont fit into memory at the same time. Probably about same battery life. Better for watching videos. And can be rooted or upgraded with google playstore.
Also ipad is not expandable in memory, but certain variants of ipad have 4G mobile ($$$).

But much cheaper than ipad (unless you are looking at good or second hand deal). ipad has limited lifespan (possibly wont run iOS 11).

If you dont want absolutely the best and dont want to pay over the odds, i think these are great value (I dont have one). Paying 3-5x for something which you may not notice any difference is your decision.

Mainly the 2,058 x 1,536 display in the iPad, plus the decent A8 processor but you really have to pay a lot extra for the iPad.

No, it doesn't start up with voice commands. So you have to have it switched in the first place for it to respond to Alexa commands.

Probably although not sure if it listens for a wake word, Since they added Alexa to the fireTV I was able to ask it the same commands as the Echo Dot but the difference being I had to hold the voice search button on the fireTV remote to activate alexa.
