Apri 28th update - Good upgrade from last year model-Beautiful Display, Great Device-Fell short on battery life
October 23, 2013
Configuration:With Special Offers| Connectivity Technology:Wi-Fi Only| Digital Storage Capacity:16|Verified Purchase
Update on Dec 23 2013 - Please scroll to the very end of this review for 2 month use update. [...]
For those who are looking at getting the best tablet out there at the moment, this is the one you should be looking at.
My profile: Heavy tablet users for personal and business purposes. I work on my tablet around 4-5 hours a day (Email / Documents / Spreadsheet / PDF ) and use it 1-2 hours for personal use such as watching movies or reading books/magazine. Tablet is my go-to device for all internet related search I do.
I have the following and/or used the following before:
1) iPad 1
2) iPad 2
3) iPad 4
4) iPad Mini
5) Kindle Fire
6) Kindle Fire HD
7) Kindle Fire HD 8.9
8) Asus Transformer with Keyboard
9) Nexus 7 First Gen
10) iPad Air 16gb Wifi
As you can see, I been through many devices and hope this review with my experience helps users decide if this is the right device for them. This will be an ongoing review for this device throughout this next year. For comparison sake, I will use last year's Kindle and iPad mini as they are the closest size to this HDX 7"
Speed (9/10):
This is leaps and bounds faster than last year Kindle HD. Last year Kindle struggles to go through any HD video content I put in. This year's HDX able to play seamlessly all the HD 1080p contents I added. It is incredible how much the 2.2Ghz quad processor improved vs last year's model Dual 1.2Ghz.
Screen (9/10):
This is the biggest improvement over last year's model. The screen is in true HD 1080p (1920x1080). This means any HD content I throw at it will view in its intended resolution. The screen is crystal clear (much better than iPad mini) and the viewing angle is incredible. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent 3rd-generation tablet that compares favorably to the competition
October 19, 2013
Verified Purchase
This is the middle model of the three models
that Amazon is shipping this year: the Kindle Fire HD, the Kindle Fire
HDX (this tablet), and the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9". This is the successor
for last year's Kindle Fire HD but with an updated operating system and
new features, a redesigned shell (with the power and volume control
buttons more readily accessible), an absolutely amazing display, superb
sound, an included power adapter, and the new Mayday feature. See
http://www.amazon.com/review/RNH700DOM9WN3/ for my review of the Kindle
Fire HD and http://www.amazon.com/review/R2YPITHVTYLCZT for my review of
the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9".
Update: Some users are reporting a bluish glow around the edges of the screen for the HDX. If you search on YouTube for HDX Blue Haze, you can find a video showing the issue. Amazon has updated their "Learn More" link with the following info:
"To achieve the perfect color accuracy on Kindle Fire HDX 7" at the lowest possible battery consumption and device weight, we used blue, not white, LEDs. Blue LEDs allow for a much more accurate and rich representation of color and result in an up to 20% improvement in power efficiency."
"As a result of using these blue LEDs, you may notice a very narrow, faint blue tint around the edge of the device when looking at items with a white background, such as books or web pages. All displays have some level of light emission around the edges, and the light on the Kindle Fire HDX 7" is blue due to the technology used to render perfect color accuracy."
If this is something that you think would bother you, I'd recommend taking a look at the YouTube video or taking a look at the HDX at a local Best Buy or office superstore. Read more ›

To sum up what I will tell you about in the
details below, for $229 you are getting a good deal on a tablet computer
- especially if you compare it to the $199 for last year's
first-generation Fire HD and the $500 or more you can spend on a Wi-Fi
version of the iPad. Overall, if you consider the price and the
functionality I think this is a great tool / toy if you watch a lot of
video or play a lot of games on your device: the video quality is
outstanding and you can really tell a difference between this and the
new HD Fire. If you are a first-time tablet buyer, where price vs.
value is a key consideration, or if you are looking for an affordable
tablet for the kids, I'd recommend the "regular" Kindle Fire HD that is
only $139. If you're comparing last year's HD model to this version and
it is operating fine, I'd say save your money and continue to get your
money's worth out of that one.
My review below compares a lot of the features of this version of the Fire HDX to the original Fire HD as well as this year's model of the Fire HD, but also some of the features for a first-time user.
Consistent with my experience with setup of this year's model of the Kindle Fire HD, setup took a long time: despite being a brand new product, the Fire HDX attempted to download and install several operating software updates. Software updates on a Kindle are usually in the background, and it was annoying watching the crashes and manual reboots. Consistent with the Fire HD, it crashed during setup, playing a song, watching a TV show, and reading a book. It took a little over an hour to get this thing up and running without consistent crashes but after the final software update it has worked as expected without further issues. Read more ›
