SAVE $55: As of May 14, the Amazon Fire Max 11 tablet is down to just $174.99 at Amazon after sitting at the same sale price of $184.99 for months. That's a savings of 24%.
Most of Amazon's Fire tablets are just OK. The Fire Max 11, on the other hand, takes the Fire lineup to new heights. If you're looking for a new tablet that can almost compete with the iPad and won't cost a fortune, this is your guy.
As of May 14, the Fire Max 11 tablet with 64GB of storage is on sale for just $174.99 at Amazon. That's a savings of 24% or $55. It's also a welcomed price drop after sitting at the same sale price of $184.99 for months.
The specs on the Fire Max 11 are pretty maxed out (sorry). It features a crisp 11-inch display, which is the largest Fire tablet you can buy, plus an upgraded octa-core processor, 4GB of RAM, 8MP cameras that support 1080p video, WiFi 6 compatibility, and a 14-hour battery life. As Mashable's reviewer noted, it's also "blazing fast, making it a good alternative to pricier tablets for streaming and games." Just keep in mind that with just 64GB of storage, you may need a memory card for extra space — especially if you like to download games or movies for offline viewing.
The Max 11 is also the only Amazon tablet that's compatible with the magnetic keyboard case and made for Amazon stylus (both sold separately). With these on board, you can effectively turn this tablet into a small laptop. It is, like other Fire tablets, still limited by the Amazon Appstore, so be sure to check that the apps you need are available before pulling the trigger. Aside from that, we're huge fans, which is why we named it Amazon's best iPad competitor and our favorite budget tablet. Snag it while it's down to $174.99 for a steal.
