Introduction
The Amazon Fire range of tablets have been around for quite some time and while they’re very popular in the States, they’re much rarer in Malaysia and is often found through special groups and retailers. Originally retailing around USD$50 (MYR 206) when it was first released back in May 2017, the price has seen dips to USD$20 during sales. I managed to snag one during from a local retailer for MYR 179 (USD$43). So what exactly is an Amazon Fire 7? In short, it’s Amazon’s entry level 7″ Android tablet which is heavily ad supported (presumably to subsidize its production cost). You’re probably thinking of the adage that cheap things aren’t great and great things aren’t cheap but let’s find out in my review of the Amazon Fire 7 (2017) if it’s still worth that USD50 asking price.
