The Amazon Fire Max 11 is the retailer’s most expensive tablet, and its most powerful to date.
Gone are the softer plastics and flexible shells, this is a full aluminum machine.
It’s only slightly heavier than the iPad 9th generation at 490g compared to 487g.
By contrast, the HD 10 still keeps that bubble physicality that otherwise died off around five years ago.
The display itself is, obviously, the crowning glory of the Fire Max 11.
4GB RAM and a MediaTek MT8188J processor aren’t going to get you very far these days.
However, there are tablets out there with far heavier internals that can undertake far more demanding workflows.
Let’s not blame everything on those specs, though.
After all this level of power is par for the course at this low a price point.
Instead, it should really be the operating system in the firing line.
After all, the screen looks fantastic and you’ve got a slick professional build quality running throughout.
This service is similar to Game Pass, though the base level is considerably cheaper while offering fewer titles.
It’s also available on other devices if you’re putting productivity first as well.
Battery life is pretty solid as well.
Should you buy the Amazon Fire Max 11?
In fact, the only scenario in which I’d recommend the Fire Max 11 is one of streaming.
