    Fire HD 7 or Fire HD 8

    Which one should I get and why? I was thinking about getting the 8 because of the bigger screen to use with Fusion web portal.

    8" for bigger screen!
    Also I have a 7" and I find it slow. Bought the new 8" 2017 for my kids and it's much faster!

    Does it render the whole page correctly? I was worried about the higher resolution.

    The Fire HD 8” works fine. Neptune even uses them at shows.
    Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.

    Thanks. I have one on the way. Is there is mock fusion portal I can play with? I don't have my tank setup quite yet.

    I got the 7 and mounted it next to tank. It stays on 24/7. I contemplated between 8 or 7 but for $20 the 7 was a no brainer just to show apexfusion on the wall. So if it's only to mount on tank I would get 7. But if it's to be used daily for browsing and other stuff I would get the 8

    I just got it and I can only get 2 columns to show up. How do I get all 3 columns to show up on the screen at the same time?

    I tried that with chrome installed and I still get only 2 columns. ☹️

    I have tried dolphin and silk browser.

    I ended up purchasing a 7 and giving the 8 to my daughter. The 8 would not show 3 columns but my 7 definitely does.
