Tim Stevens praised the price of the Kindle Fire, calling it “an achievement at US$200“. He notes that while it is a perfectly useable tablet, the so-called “power users” will become frustrated with the Kindle Fire. The tablet is slightly underpowered with 512MB of memory and an 8GB solid state drive. When the battery life is directly compared to the iPad 2, it suffers with only seven and a half hours of use on a full charge, compared to Apple’s ten-hour plus battery life.
