Is Amazon Fire Tablet a Good Choice?

Looking for a new tablet mainly for web browser and play Hearthstone, had my eyes on Galaxy tab s 8.4 but seems like it could be only available in US.

Apart from no warrenty, any other downsides about Amazon Fire HD 10 (2019 32GB WiFi)?

It's android tablet so I guess everything would be similar with Galaxy tab. For $250, even cheaper than Galaxy tab a10.1, a good choice?

Thanks for your opinions.

    I've used the 2019 Fire10 HD table since November (Black Friday sales). I have used a Galaxy Tab S2 previously (still working actually)
    The FireHD seems to be a good (not especially light weight) Android Tablet… it is possible to load Google Services (play store etc) on it (which I've done)…. it's not especially fast… so if you're regularly toggling between apps, you might find the brief lag delay annoying (I do). but for $USD100 (which I paid), I'm pretty happy. it works well for running plex/youtube/chrome etc… toggling between chrome tabs seems ok…but toggling between chrome and say another app, sometimes has lag.

    hope this helps

      $100USD's really good deal, I checked Amazon website, they don't deliver tablet to Aus, did you use parcel forwarding service to get it?

    Just do you research, even though it's "Android" it can't access Google Play out of the box. TBH that is a complete deal breaker for most people.
