The best Prime Day 2023 tablet deal is Amazon's Fire Max 11 for $150 (save $80)
This new iPad alternative has a lot to offer, and this is the lowest price in its (admittedly brief) history.
Some Prime Day 2023 deals feel like warmed-over leftovers ("Hey, the Echo Dot's on sale again!), but not this one: Amazon's new tablet, the Fire Max 11, dropped way lower than I predicted it would. So if you're looking for an iPad alternative with a big screen, keyboard and stylus support and expandable storage, this is the time to act. For Prime Day, the Fire Max 11 is $80 off, bringing the price to just $150. That's bonkers. (Note that as with many Prime Day deals, this one is reserved for Amazon Prime subscribers.)
Before you spend a small fortune for an iPad, check out Amazon's latest tablet. Big screen, fast processor, expandable storage and more, all for a truly unbeatable price (during Prime Day, anyway). Don't sleep on this deal.
The Fire Max 11 is what I consider to be Amazon's first serious iPad rival, with its squared-edge design and metal casing. It definitely looks more polished and professional than other models in the Fire lineup. Amazon also offers a keyboard case for users looking to get some work done and a stylus for artists and note-takers. (Alas, there's a dearth of stylus-friendly apps.)
The hardware here is really solid, including a bright, razor-sharp screen, a fingerprint-reading power button and reasonably good front and rear cameras. One huge benefit is the microSD expansion slot, which lets you add lots of extra storage on the cheap. iPads can't do that.
Battery life is impressive as well: up to 14 hours, according to Amazon, versus 10 hours on the iPad 10.9.
I can't say I love Amazon's interface, but I can live with it. Indeed, sometimes a low price makes minor shortcomings easier to accept. A tablet like this for only $150 is a shockingly good deal.
