What reviewers say

Reviewers call the Fire Max 11 Amazon's best tablet yet, praising its more premium design, bright 2K screen and good battery life. Both found Fire OS and its limited app selection the main drawback, especially for productivity; Trusted Reviews also found charging very slow, and Tom's Guide disliked the button and port placement.
