With more opportunities to go out for work and private life, many people are probably thinking regarding renewing their mobile environment. The 13th generation model “Fire Max 11” of the tablet “Fire” series, which Amazon Japan will release on June 14, has evolved from the conventional reading-centered usage to a tablet that allows creative actions. Since I had the opportunity to borrow Fire Max 11, I will tell you regarding its usability.

11-inch high-definition display and faster processing power
The Fire Max 11 is the first Fire tablet with an 11-inch display. The resolution of the display is 2000 x 1200 dots. It has TÜV Rheinland low blue light certification. Since it is 11 inches, I was able to enjoy the immersive feeling even when watching a movie with “Amazon Prime Video”, and I might feel the depth of the image.
When the display is set to “show mode”, it switches to the same display as the smart display “Echo Show”. If you put it in your living room and call it “Alexa”, you can check the weather, news, etc. Linking with Alexa-enabled smart home products will be described later.

The battery is 7500mAh and is said to run for up to 14 hours. When I tried it, it was almost 0% following regarding 2 days of use. As for the usage style, I watched Prime Video for regarding 9 hours, used drawing apps and light work with Office apps during the day, and left it on standby while sleeping. As a bodily sensation, I had enough battery life. It took regarding 4 hours to charge.
Dedicated stylus pen and cover with keyboard
The Fire Max 11 has its own keyboard cover and stylus pen, which can be purchased separately or as a set.
The stylus pen can be used for writing on PDFs and drawing such as sketches. Compatible with USI 2.0 regulations, it can be used simply by inserting the included battery (AAA battery), and can be attached to the side of the tablet with a magnet. The battery is said to last up to 9 months. The size of the pen is regarding 15 cm and the weight is 20 g (both actual measurements). Although it is not an Amazon genuine product, it is a “Made for Amazon” certified model that was worked with the development team within Amazon.

The cover with keyboard has a Japanese layout and a built-in trackpad. The trackpad supports pinch zoom and two-finger scrolling. When I asked the public relations regarding the key pitch, I got an answer that it was 17.8 mm. The battery is pogo pin connected and powered by the tablet. The keyboard is thin and can’t be said to be easy to type, but it has a firm hardness and does not bend, making it easy to use for this kind of product.
The cover can also be used as a stand with the back cover half open. It is convenient for watching videos and using in show mode.
The total weight of the front and rear covers is regarding 415g (measured value). When attached to the main unit, it weighs regarding 905g.
