The Amazon Fire Max 11 looks enticing, but after seeing the price of the Lenovo Idea Tab, which has been slashed to just 159.99 (was 219.99), we can't justify the buy.

However, after seeing the price of the Lenovo Idea Tab, which has been slashed to just 159.99 (was 219.99) in a new deal, I just can't justify the buy.

The Lenovo Idea Tab is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300, which is comparable in performance to the MediaTek chip that powers the Fire Max 11. It's a much newer model with a higher resolution 2.5K 90Hz screen, plus superior Dolby Atmos stereo speakers to make streaming even more enjoyable.

It's got double the RAM for smoother multitasking, and even comes bundled
with a compatible stylus pen and case. It's an absolute no-brainer when the discounted Fire Max 11 is still much more expensive at 189.99 (was 289.99) .

189.99 at Amazon Even with 100 off, the Amazon Fire Max 11 is still the lower-value tablet of the pair. It has lesser specs, with half the RAM and a lower resolution screen, and doesn't come bundled with any extras. View Deal Another big advantage of the Lenovo Idea Tab is its operating system . The Fire Max 11 runs on Amazon's Fire OS 8, which is based on the now rather ancient Android 11. It's a locked-down OS that basically restricts you to Amazon's limited app store unless you have the technical skills to sideload your own apps.

The Lenovo Idea Tab runs Android 15 with Lenovo's sleek ZUI skin, giving you unrestricted access to all your favorite apps, games, and streaming services.

Don't worry about the build quality either. The Idea Tab has a
premium-feeling aluminium alloy frame and a smooth metal back. Having gone hands-on with the tablet in the past, I know firsthand that it feels much
more expensive than the budget-friendly price would suggest.
