Prime Big Deal Days 2025 is on its way, but you can already take advantage of tablet deals that are part of Amazon’s early offers. Here’s an interesting one — the 64GB, ad-supported model of the Amazon Fire Max 11 at 39% off, which brings its price back down to its lowest ever of only $140 from $230 originally. We don’t recommend waiting until the final minutes of the shopping event before you make your purchase, as stocks of the tablet may already be gone by then — proceed with your transaction right now!
The Amazon Fire Max 11 earned a spot in our list of the best Android tablets as the best value Android tablet. The device “takes everything that’s good about the Fire tablet range, then adds great accessories for increased productivity,” we said in our review — and it’s an even better option right now with this early offer for Prime Big Deal Days 2025. The Amazon Fire Max 11 won’t stand out in terms of design as it looks very simple, but its 11-inch screen with 2000 x 1200 resolution is large and sharp enough for you to enjoy your favorite streaming shows, social media apps, and mobile games. It’s not going to run as smooth as flagship tablets, but its octa-core MediaTek MT8188 processor and 4GB of RAM are more than enough for most people.
You’ll be able to take the Amazon Fire Max 11 wherever you go with its long battery life of 14 hours on a single charge, and while its built-in storage is pretty limiting, you can expand it by up to 1TB using a microSD card. The tablet supports Amazon’s Alexa, and you can purchase its keyboard cast and stylus if you want to maximize its capabilities as a productivity tool.
The 64GB, ad-supported model of the Amazon Fire Max 11 is already packed with value at its sticker price of $230, so you wouldn’t want to miss this chance to get the tablet with a 39% discount from the early offers of Prime Big Deal Days 2025. Following savings of $90, It’s down to just $140, which is its lowest-ever price on the platform. You’re going to have to be quick with your purchase though, as the stocks of the Amazon Fire Max 11 that are up for sale may run out at any moment.
Apple has just launched its latest iPad mini with a notable set of upgrades, including an OLED screen, improved speakers, and a more resilient build. It also gets a new chip, and the whole package costs $200 more than its predecessor. But if you look closely at Apple’s online store, you’ll realize that $699 isn’t enough to get you the most powerful version of the A20 Pro chip inside this tablet. In fact, even if you pay $800 for the 256GB model, you still won’t get the beefiest variant. Only when you jump to the 512GB trim, which costs an absurd $999, do you get the most powerful flavor of the A20 Pro.
The $999 model gets more than extra storage
Ahead of its October 28 “Pro and Tell” event, Apple has refreshed the iPad mini with an OLED display (the first for the mini line), the company’s latest in-house, Pro-grade chipset, and something else that made me read twice: an Acoustic Display design.
The iPad mini (8th generation) starts at $699 for Wi-Fi and $849 for cellular variants. Pre-orders start October 28, 2026, and general sales begin November 6, 2026.
Apple has sent out invites for an event on October 28 in Los Angeles, and if the rumor mill is right, it's going to be a big one for Mac fans.
