This model is even 1 ounce heavier than the previous version (I misspoke in the video I was thinking of the 7-inch Fire). At 13 ounces it’s about 20%-25% heavier than other 8-inch tablets like the iPad Mini and Galaxy Tabs. The main downside is it’s fairly heavy for a tablet its size. The back has kind of a cheap plastic feel to it but the Fire HD 8 is a very solid-feeling tablet that seems like it could handle a drop without much of a problem. It’s not great by any means, but it’s good enough overall to be useful and functional. It’s hard to complain about the amount of features it offers when similar tablets sell for 2 to 5 times as much. Overall the $79 Fire HD 8 is a solid tablet for the price. I still like using 10-inch tablets better but if my Lenovo Tab 2 10 died I could get along with using the Fire HD 8 as my main tablet for awhile. The nicer screen and added speed help make it quite a bit more enjoyable to use than the $49 Fire.
