That’s right; the online retail giant has slashed the prices on its ol’ reliable streaming sticks yet again in time for Black Friday 2021. But this year, there’s an added stick in the mix: the Fire TV Stick 4K Max. Think of the Fire TV Stick 4K Max as a maximized version of the classic Fire TV Stick—though they look relatively the same, Amazon’s 4K Max model is about 40 percent faster, which means way faster load times and the most reliable streaming connection from a streaming stick thus far.
What exactly does the Fire TV Stick do? Put simply, Amazon’s Fire TV Sticks are excellent little devices that make any standard television work like a “Smart” TV. Smart TVs typically offer internet connectivity, making them ideal for streaming online providers like Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, Disney+ and more. However, many of us are still using our reliable standard televisions and simply need a little help to access online streaming—and it’d be great to do so without breaking the bank.
