Finding the best deal for Alexa is tough. Amazon’s smart assistant is available on dozens of devices, from speakers to screens, and even a microwave.
In a rare move, Amazon has slashed the price of the Echo Show 8.
Overall, we think Amazon’s Echo Show 8 is the best device out there for people who aren’t comfortable with an iPad or smartphone – and Amazon has a rare discount on it right now. They’ll even throw in a free addon such as a smart plug so you can control lights and other appliances by voice, or a one year subscription to the Food Network. You’ll need to click below to reveal the full discount.
The Echo Show 8 is voice operated, simple to use, yet lets you keep in touch with your family easily. You can even play games and use it as a digital picture frame.
You can also make free calls, play music and do everything from playing games (we have a guide here) to your weekly shop.
Amazon has also made a similar cut to the slightly smaller Echo Show 5, which is even cheaper – although we think the 8 hits the sweet spot in terms of screen size, particularly if you want to use it as a digital picture frame.
In fact, there’s an explosion in games for seniors – who have been dubbed ‘grey haired gamers’.
A recent study from AARP found a 14% increase in the number of adults age 50-plus who play online or video games on a monthly basis.
It’s also an incredibly powerful computer you can use to watch videos, search the internet and do almost everything you’d want from a computer – all without lifting a finger.
