I’ve had the opportunity to test various tablets this year, and I can confidently say that the Amazon Fire Max 11 stands out as one of the best. I was so impressed with it that I recommended it at full price in my review. Now, on Prime Day 2024, it has become an absolute must-have, especially if you are looking for a productivity-focused tablet that excels in video, gaming, and even art. The complete package is now available for only $260.
When I say complete package, I mean you get the 64GB Fire Max 11 tablet, the keyboard with its magnetic case and kickstand, and the stylus, all for less than the original price of the tablet alone when I reviewed it. To get this price, you’ll need to accept Amazon’s ads on the tablet’s screen. If you prefer not to view additional ads, the same package costs $240. Even at this slightly higher price point, it’s still a deal worth considering.
The Fire Max 11 marked a shift in Amazon’s tablet strategy by introducing a keyboard case and stylus for users who wanted a device for both work and play. The keyboard is comfortable to type on, and it even features a small touchpad for quicker navigation. The case’s kickstand ensures the screen is at the optimal angle, and the tablet’s bright display allows for outdoor use in sunlight.
I recently compared the Fire Max 11 and its keyboard case against the Poco Pad tablet and its keyboard. Despite the Fire Max 11 being a year old at that time, it not only performed well but also outperformed the new Poco Pad in the test, showcasing its enduring capabilities. This deal immediately caught my attention, considering I had tested the Fire Max 11 when it was priced around $350.
Before making a purchase, it’s important to note that the Fire Max 11 runs on Amazon’s customized version of Android called Fire OS and does not come with the Google Play Store pre-installed. Instead, you’ll have access to Amazon’s own Android app store, which may not have the same extensive selection. However, there is a straightforward method to add the Google Play Store to the Fire Max 11, so this limitation shouldn’t deter you too much.
The Amazon Fire Max 11, bundled with the keyboard case and stylus, is just one of Amazon’s Prime Day 2024 deals. While the price may vary during the promotional period, acquiring it for around $260 means securing one of the finest mixed-use Android tablets at a fantastic price.
