$80 Tablet vs $800 Tablet Review (Amazon Fire Tablet VS iPad Pro) By The Deal Guy

- The iPad Pro versus the Fire HD 8 tablet with Alexa, a comparison test you need to see, and a big giveaway, coming right up. (soft tune) Hi, I'm the YouTube Deal Guy, Matt Granite, I hunt down the biggest tech deals, I test items, I give them away for free, and I love side by side comparisons, especially when no one thinks it's worth doing and I know, one of the most sought-after pro tablets in the world that's almost $800 dollars against a tablet that's 80, you will be amazed, what happens when I put these side by side? I'm gonna give away a free Fire HD 8 tablet at the end of the video and I wanna begin by just reminding you that Fire HD, it is Amazon's flagship tablet, the Kindle, that name corresponds to their ereader, so this is not a Kindle, and it has Alexa built in. Alright, let's unbox this. So, can you really even compare the tech specs between the iPad Pro and the Fire HD 8? Well, at the basic level you get front and rear cameras for both, dual band Wi-Fi, you get some great processing power in the iPad Pro, but one that really does hold up on its own for all of your daily Netflix browsing, HBO streaming, Amazon Prime integration, whatever it is. The displays, I mean, you saw 'em, side by side, I'll let you draw your own conclusions but I will tell you, the HD 8 tablet has an expandable memory slot, SD slot, up to 256 gigabytes, you do not have something of that nature on the iPad pro. Does the iPad Pro have all the other advantages? Yes but the Fire HD 8 has the clear advantage on the price.

And now for the anxiously awaited drop test. I'm not even gonna bother dropping the iPad Pro 'cause I will tell you it will crack and at almost $800 dollars, I don't wanna watch that, but how does a Fire tablet perform in a drop test? So, first of all, as you can hear, it's going onto a solid hardwood floor, no scratches, no clacking, that's on the side. As you can see, the tablet, totally unscathed. Now, the big question is what happens when I throw this face first, let's go. One.

Totally fine, still moving. See that? This is one take, no edits. Oh, it's all good, still good. Let's go again. Awesome.

Still going. I mean, this is not Gorilla Glass, this is the durability of an $80 dollar tablet. Let's get onto the couch and go again. Oh, yeah, this is awesome. Still going.

Yeah, awesome, it's still fine. No scratches, no cracked screen. Try doing that to an iPad. Tablet completely okay, hardwood floor. Lookey here, what do we have? A little bit of indentation.

Tablet, fine. Floor? Nuh-uh. That's how hard I was smacking this bad boy around. Let's begin with a simple page load test. You got Safari, definitely an adequate browser.

And you have Silk, Amazon's answer to Chrome on this particular tablet. Now, for two uncached pages, which means I've never visited the pages before, we're gonna do a quick speed test right now. I have USAToday. com typed into both browers, we're now going to one, two, three. And the page load test, ah, the Fire tablet won, that is amazing, I don't even know how that's possible.

Let's do a YouTube video page test. Interestingly enough, although they are trying to push the app for both platforms, the page displays better on the Fire tablet yet again. Look, my face is cut off so now you all just see a little bit of my nose. Obviously the iPad, which pushes this Retina display, is a much better display itself but I will tell you that for $80 bucks, the display on the Fire tablet, not completely inferior to the point where it's unwatchable. Again, this is a really unfair disadvantage to the Fire tablet but the videos do look great side by side.

- And. - A big-- The speakers are actually comparable, it's difficult for me to convey an audio test because you can't hear the speakers through the mic but I will tell you that in terms of volume level, they are comparable, and then in terms of video, this is where the Fire tablet has the advantage. The Fire tablet is built with integration to Amazon Prime, which means they've further optimized all of their apps so they load quickly. The Prime integration with the video service is fast beyond belief. I mean, I'm telling you, you can also download the movies that you watch for offline viewing which is a feature of the Fire Tablet but watch, I'm gonna skip ahead right here, this is a very average internet connection, we're looking at eight megabits per second which is the hotel I'm in right now and look, I mean we can skip, we can load.

Amazon builds the apps to make them sing and if you're someone that wants to stream movies on the go, even use Netflix, whatever it is, if you're using Amazon Video that I'm telling you, it is unreal. In addition to the beautiful display, one of the other things that I like when you are enjoying content on a Fire tablet is you get the x-ray technology. Amazon owns the internet movie database, IMDb. com, so you get some great trivia tied to the film or show that you're watching as well as any of the actors or performers on screen. It's constantly giving you that data if you just scroll to the side and then when you wanna stop, well, you just enjoy your movie and this is beautiful crisp display given that it is an $80 dollar tablet.

My favorite test, not traditionally performed in YouTube unboxings or comparisons, the humor test. Alexa, tell me a joke. - What does a grape say when it gets stepped on? Nothing, it just lets out a little wine. - Ha ha. Tell me a joke.

- Matt, I don't really know any good jokes. None, in fact. - What? How is this even a thing, come on? Any joke? Tell me a good pickup line. - Are you a 45 degree angle? Because you're acute-y. - Okay, that was pretty good.

Tell me a good pickup line. - You must be the square root of two because I get irrational around you. - Alexa gets the point because she's being a little more aggressive with me and I like that. So, can you really compare a Pro tablet to an HD 8? Well, you could do whatever you want, it's YouTube, you guys are watching and I really appreciate it, I thought it would be fun to show side by side comparison. Am I advocating for this is a tablet that a professional could use? Absolutely not.

But it's very portable, it is a great way to consume content rather than produce content. If you're making things, the iPad Pro is your better bet but so many people are buying these overqualified, overpowered, overpriced items, when something like this for the next vacation could do the trick. I'm now gonna give one of these away for free.
