Does your dad constantly ask you for technical support? Does he also interrupt mid-movie to ask who that actor is or "what's the name of this movie again"?

The Amazon Fire HDX 8.9 is a great tablet for your inquisitive father. Not only does it have access to live technical support with a real human being at the simple push of a button, it also features the super-useful Firefly app. The item recognition software can recognize scenes in a movie or TV show, music, or even items -- with a helpful link to buy them on Amazon, of course.

There's no better tablet for a gamer than the Nvidia Shield.

The 8-inch tablet is gaming machine with a superfast processor, a sharp screen, and a proprietary handheld controller. It can also connect to your TV if you want to make the jump to the big screen. Oh, did I mention it's also a great all-around Android tablet to-boot?

Is Dad more of a movie-buff than a gamer? There's no better tablet to binge-watch with than the Samsung Galaxy Tab S.

Offered in two sizes -- 8.4- and 10.5-inch -- the Tab S rocks an impressively sharp and colorful OLED screen that provides a spectacular viewing experience. They're also two of the thinnest tablets around.

Why stop there? Give Dad a new TV too! ...Or maybe just look at some other cool gadgets for Father's Day.

As your dad dutifully taught you, sharing is caring. With the Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro, you can share whatever's on the tablet's screen thanks to its built-in projector.

It's not HD and it won't rival any of the best projectors, but it's a unique perk for a tablet. Its large 13-inch screen is also great for smaller viewing parties and playing mobile games.
