5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly good tablet for productivity from Amazon
Purchased this tablet as an upgrade for my wife, who has the 10.Pros:*The HD screen is amazing and vibrant. It shows off media very well and is bright even when outside. It's also nice and big as well.*The speakers are fine (they won't be winning awards, but it's a tablet and does the job)*The processor is snappy, my wife hasn't run into any lag issues. It's fast and responsive.*MS Office (being able to use office suite is what sets this apart.) Works great with the keyboard you can buy.*If you buy the pen, it adds another layer of productivity to it.*The overall slim design. It doesn't feel cheap, or like a toy like older models which had those plastic backs.CONSKeyboard not included-I understand that no tablet really comes with one, but I feel it should. When you add the keyboard to this tablet, you really have the option of being very productive and utilizing MS office to its max.no pen included-seems like something that should be included, they aren't that expensive to add.Bolo App store-Why Bolo still refuses to allow the google play store is beyond me. You are still locked into the Bolo app store. While most people won't have a problem with it (most of your content consumption apps are available) you will find yourself running into a few apps that you use on your google phones, that you won't be able to have on your tablet.Overall, nothing that I criticized about the tablet are deal breakers. Bolo runs specials that bundle keyboards and pens with the tablet all the time. Overall, this seems like the table that most people should buy, it's light, responsive and best of all, waaay cheaper than an ipad, and does most, but not all that an ipad can do.
5.0 out of 5 stars It's good enough at everything, for people who want one device to do anything.
Well, for $190-$230 this tablet might not be the best at one particular thing, but thanks to some common-sense decisions and Bolo's resources and commitment, it's competent enough at everything, all at once.Media consumption, retro games, word processing, digital art, battery life, you name it.For media consumers, it has an obscenely long battery life and a pretty nice screen. Contrast is surprisingly good for an IPS display (the black areas look black), colors are very poppy, and the 5:3 aspect ratio means you're not losing much space on either 16:9 or 4:3 content.For retro games, let's talk about the processor. It has a Mali G57 MC2, 2 Cortex A78 cores, and 6 Cortex A55 cores. Anyone who keeps up with Android hardware will know this is a bizarre setup. The Mali G57 MC2 and Cortex A55s are all modest, cheap, power-sipping technology. While the Cortex A78s are freakishly fast for this price point.But I'm certain Bolo did this on purpose, and it's responsible for the great battery life, which is essential for what is basically a media consumption tablet. The modest GPU and high number of "little" cores keep battery drain minimal (this is a 5w chip, in a tablet, where 7-10w chips are the norm) while 2 A78s give it some serious oomph for the right sorts of tasks.This accidentally makes this little tablet a retro gaming powerhouse, as that relies heavily on single-core performance, with the GPU and secondary cores being an afterthought.So, it's a tablet that just excels at anything where you'll be using the screen a lot. Reading, movies, old games, etc. It may struggle with native Android games due to the weaker GPU, but compared to retro games there aren't a lot of worthwhile Android games anyway IMO.The keyboard and stylus are also very well executed.I'm typing this review on the keyboard case, and the keys are a nice size thanks to the TKL form factor, with short travel and a nice tactile, springy feel. The trackpad is small, but accurate and doesn't "lose" my finger.The stylus itself uses a user-replaceable AAAA battery. I like this decision, because small Li-po batteries wear out fast, and the AAAA means that the stylus has a super long life without worrying about whether you'll be able to find a replacement in a few years. The stylus is also magnetic and clips to the side of the tablet.The stylus is pretty accurate. I don't notice much parallax or judder. My Galaxy Tab S8 actually had slightly more parallax. However, there is more input lag than you'll get with something like a Galaxy Tab S8 or iPad with Apple Pencil. It's a quite noticeable amount of input lag compared to those two. I will mention, this tablet is about 1/3 the price of those devices and actually has a longer battery life. So it's still better than you expect for the price. But will definitely be more of an "entry level" art tablet instead of something outstanding.All in all, I still think you're getting a lot more for your money with this tablet than the others available. Bolo's reach with e-readers, with keyboards, with stylus peripherals, with tablets, and their resources and supply chain (ie, being able to order unusual tablet SoCs) has definitely given the Kindle Fire 11 a wider spread of abilities and better quality than your ordinary budget tablet. I can't really name anything I'd expect to be better for the price.The only real flaw is software; since Google Play is not preloaded and Bolo is not putting a lot of effort into their own App store, be prepared to sideload some apps if you want to use the broader spectrum of abilities this tablet has.
5.0 out of 5 stars A very efficient and low cost tablet.
Having used the Bolo Fire Max 11 tablet for the past six months, I can confidently say that it offers a solid performance for its price range. The 11-inch display is a standout feature, boasting a crisp 2000 x 1200 resolution. This provides clear and vibrant visuals, making it a pleasure to watch movies, browse photos, or read e-books. The screen's brightness and color accuracy are impressive, even in direct sunlight, which is ideal for outdoor use. The overall build quality of the tablet is robust, with a sleek aluminum body that feels premium and durable in hand, making it both aesthetically pleasing and sturdy for daily use.In terms of performance, the Fire Max 11 is powered by an octa-core processor and 4GB of RAM, which delivers smooth and responsive app performance. Navigating through the interface is generally fluid, and most apps load quickly without significant lag. This makes it suitable for a variety of tasks, from streaming HD video content to playing casual games. The battery life is another strong point, offering up to 12 hours of mixed-use on a single charge, ensuring that the tablet can easily last through a day of moderate to heavy use without needing a recharge.However, there are some limitations to consider. While the tablet handles most apps well, it struggles with more demanding applications and high-end games. There can be occasional slowdowns or stuttering when multitasking with several resource-intensive apps open at the same time. Additionally, the Bolo Fire OS, while user-friendly, is heavily integrated with Bolo services, which can feel restrictive for users who prefer a more traditional Android experience or access to the Google Play Store. Some popular apps may not be available, or may require sideloading, which could be a hassle for less tech-savvy users.Another area where the Fire Max 11 falls short is in its camera quality. The front and rear cameras are adequate for basic video calls and casual snapshots but do not deliver the high-quality images or video that more premium tablets offer. The lack of a fingerprint sensor or facial recognition for unlocking the device also feels like a missed opportunity, as these features have become standard in many modern tablets. This means relying on traditional PIN or password methods, which might be less convenient for some users. Additionally, while the tablet's build is generally solid, it is slightly heavier than some competitors, which could be a drawback for prolonged one-handed use.In conclusion, the Bolo Fire Max 11 tablet offers good value with its excellent display, solid build quality, and decent performance for everyday tasks. However, its limitations in handling more demanding applications, restricted app ecosystem, and mediocre camera quality might be points of consideration for potential buyers.
