The Amazon Fire Max 11 tablet is the biggest, most powerful tablet on offer from Amazon at the moment. It's a viable iPad competitor that you can get for less, especially now that it's been discounted. It boasts a 2,000 x 1,200 resolution at 213 ppi with 410 nits of brightness, making its large screen one great reason to pull the trigger. It also packs a 2.2GHz octa-core processor and 4GB of RAM under the hood, all in a sleek, gray aluminum casing with slim bezels. If you want the reliability and look of an iPad but don't want to spend too much, this is one great alternative.
