Now here’s an offer that looks seriously tempting. Argos has just added a swathe of deals to its early Black Friday 2025 sale and those looking to treat themselves to a tablet can currently pop one in their online shopping basket for just £39.99. Yes, you did read that correctly, Argos has Amazon’s Fire HD 8 for less than half price, which means instead of paying the usual £99, it can be grabbed for less than £40.

For that unbelievably low price, you’ll get a device that has an 8-inch HD display, 13-hour battery life and a Hexa-core processor which should be fast enough for browsing the web, watching movies and playing the odd game.

It’s powered by Amazon’s Fire OS operating system, which means there’s full access to apps such as Netflix, Prime Video and BBC iPlayer, along with services such as Audible and Kindle books.

Other extras include a built-in speaker, optional parental safety mode and 32GB of storage which can be expanded via a Micro SD card.

So, the Fire HD 8 is now seriously cheap and is perfect as a tablet for kids or occasional use. However, if you want a more premium device for work and play, then an iPad is still tough to beat.

There are now numerous options to choose from, including Apple’s entry-level device and iPad Air. Then there’s the super premium iPad Pro which is now as fast as a MacBook and comes packed with all sorts of upgrades such as super thin design, M4 processor and improved audio.

The cheapest way to pick one of the devices up is to opt for the base model, which usually costs £329.

Thanks to Black Friday, that has now been reduced to just £299 at stores including Argos, Currys and Amazon.

It’s worth noting that Black Friday doesn’t officially begin until next week so watch out for more deals arriving soon.
