Or, keep reading to see why you’ll like this tablet, take a peek at what our time with it was like, and what it means for something to be refurbished to the ‘Like-New’ level at Amazon.

Why you should buy an Amazon Fire Max 11

The Amazon Fire Max 11 is an 11-inch tablet with a 2000 x 1200 resolution. It has 4GB of RAM and, though it starts with 64GB of storage, you can expand its storage to up to 1 TB with a micro-SD card. All of this combined with its fast Wi-Fi 6 capabilities make for a great experience for watching content and taking in visuals. While a lot of this is fairly standard, where the tablet really shines is its casing. With strong glass and a lightweight aluminum casing it’ll feel good to hold yet also manage to withstand the small bumps of everyday usage. Plus, as mentioned in our Amazon Fire Max 11 review, it has a really usable kickstand that makes countertop usage a snap. At the end of the day, our reviewer stated that watching video was the tablet’s “forte” and that still holds up at this time.

But, before you get it, what’s up it being refurbished? It’s a little different for every retailer, but Amazon’s ‘Like-New’ is one of the best possible variations of this you can see. It ensures the product has been tested by Amazon, is fully functional, tested and charged, and all of the software on the tablet is updated during testing. My best guess is that these tablets were returned or traded in after light usage (this version has lock screen ads, which will inevitably turn some people off) and not after some roughhousing. So, should you get this tablet even though it’s refurbished? Absolutely. Plus, you can say you’re contributing to helping our planet while you take your discount. As a reminder, that discount is $70 off of the usual $200 price, making the tablet just $130 while this limited time deal lasts. All you need to do to make it yours is tap the button below.

Amazon quietly upgrades its Fire HD 10 tablet with a whopping 1GB of RAM
Amazon really said, "Here's 1GB. You're welcome."
Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet

Amazon has quietly refreshed one of its most popular tablets, but not in the way many expected. Instead of launching a brand-new Fire tablet after its longest product drought in years, the company has introduced a slightly upgraded version of the existing Fire HD 10 with an extra gigabyte of RAM.

The update is modest on paper, yet it arrives at an interesting time. Amazon hasn't introduced a new Fire tablet since the Fire HD 8 refresh in 2024, while products like the Fire 7 and Fire Max 11 have yet to receive successors. Rather than expanding its lineup, Amazon appears to be extending the life of an aging device with a minor hardware tweak.

Companion mode stays. Primary mode arrives. WhatsApp on iPad just became a lot more useful.
Computer, Electronics, Pc

If you’ve ever used WhatsApp on your iPad, you already know its limitations. You can’t set it up without a primary device, can’t share live location, and can't use the broadcast lists feature. 

That’s finally changing. WhatsApp’s latest update gives iPad users a long-due promotion. Rather than serving as an extension of your iPhone, it will soon become your main device.
