My old Google TV's running on fumes, so the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max hitting its lowest ever price for Prime Day is a no-brainer

My Google TV is getting on in years and seems to run slower every day. Thankfully, the perfect replacement is available for its lowest-ever price for Prime Day: the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max is down to £39.99 (was £69.99) at Amazon UK. That's a huge 43% saving.

This deal knocks 33% off the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max, taking it down to $39.99. That isn't quite a record-low price, but it's one of the few times a year you'll get it remotely close to this price.

I currently have a 2021 Philips OLED TV at home, and it's safe to say the Google TV software is not aging well. With frequent crashes, getting kicked out of streaming apps, vanishing streaming services, and sloth-esque speeds at times, it really is struggling.
Thankfully, Prime Day has arrived just in time, and I can now grab the Fire TV Stick 4K Max for a brilliant price, and as I'm in the UK, it's a record-low deal!
The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max is the most complete version within the Fire TV Stick lineup. It supports 4K streaming, Dolby Vision and HDR10+ used on some of the best streaming services such as Prime Video, Netflix, and Disney Plus, and comes with Wi-Fi 6 built in for faster operation and smooth navigation.
We awarded the Fire TV Stick 4K Max 4.5 stars out of 5 in our review, noting that "it's very speedy" and were surprised "how quick it was for a streaming stick": the opposite of my Google TV! The Fire TV Stick 4K Max is the only stick in the lineup that comes with the Ambient Experience as well, a useful feature if you're looking for something more exciting than a floating logo on screen when your TV goes into screensaver mode.
