Fire Max 11
The Fire Max 11 is the budget pick for households deep in the Amazon ecosystem who want a big, cheap screen for Prime Video, Kindle reading, Alexa, and kids' content. It is the largest and most capable Fire tablet, with a metal build and optional keyboard and stylus, and it frequently drops well under $200 on sale. The catch is Fire OS, which leans on the Amazon Appstore and lacks Google Play out of the box, so it suits content consumption far better than serious apps or productivity.
