You can even save 20% more with an applicable trade-in. There’s no doubt that this is one of the best tablet deals going on at the moment, so tap the button below to lock it in. 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.

Huawei’s MatePad Air finally comes out of China and it makes the iPad Air feel inadequate
Huawei just showed what “Air” should include

Apple’s iPad Air remains one of the easiest tablets to recommend, largely thanks to its powerful M4 processor and excellent app ecosystem. Huawei’s latest MatePad Air has now left China, and its hardware makes Apple’s mid-range tablet look surprisingly under-equipped in some areas.

The 2026 Huawei MatePad Air will go on sale in select global markets on August 1. Prices start at 849 euros for an 8GB and 256GB model with the Smart Magnetic Keyboard included. A PaperMatte version with either the keyboard or M-Pencil Pro costs 899 euros, while the 12GB model reaches 999 euros. This arrives just days after Huawei unveiled the MatePad Pro.
