4K Fire TV Stick MAX with 40% more power
The streaming sticks from Amazon have been around since 2014 (USA) and also in Germany since 2015. And they are rightly one of the most popular streaming devices on the market. On the one hand, this is due to the fact that Amazon has a very powerful streaming service with Prime Video that does not need to hide behind competitors such as Netflix, Apple TV or Disney Plus.
In addition to some very good exclusive in-house productions, there are also plenty of international films and series. In addition to the top novelties that can be borrowed in addition to the offers available in the Prime Video subscription, Prime members also have the option of renting new films for € 0.99 once a month.

The next generation of Fire TV with Wi-Fi 6 and Dolby Vision
Fans are always waiting for the latest offshoots of Amazon’s own products and are excited to see what has happened again. This applies to both the in-house Kindle e-book readers, the echo devices and of course the streaming sticks.
And with the latter, Amazon has also made a splash with the brand new offshoot: 4K Fire TV Stick MAX, and presents and again some good further developments. The 4K Fire TV Stick MAX comes on the market with HDR10 +, Dolby Vision and, in keeping with the times, also with Wi-Fi6 support. If you look at the stick and the remote control, you first see no difference to the Fire TV Stick with HD streaming, which is also very popular (because it is cheap).
The remote control also features the new quick access buttons for: Netflix, Prime Video, Disney Plus, and Amazon Music.
Here, by the way, it is already clear where the trend is going, or rather should go. Namely for a multi subscription for streaming services. Whether you need it now or not, everyone has to decide for themselves, but due to the splitting of content where certain films and series are only available on this or that service, you sometimes almost force you to do so.
And otherwise there are no external differences to be found. It is clearly the inner values that count. And they can definitely be seen:
- 4K streaming
- HDR10 +, Dolby Vision
- Wi-Fi6 support
- Picture-in-picture live video
- 2GB RAM instead of 1.5GB
- Dolby Atmos
- CPU: 1.8 GHz (quad core) instead of 1.7 GHz (quad core)
- GPU: 750 MHz instead of 650 MHz
All of this together makes up the advertised 40% more performance. Because such a device is only as powerful as the weakest component in the link. With the 4K Fire TV Stick MAX, Amazon has pretty much all the current standards on the market to be able to serve all those who already have a TV with Dolby Vision and a Wi-Fi 6 router.
The 4K Fire TV Stick MAX will be available from October 7, 2021 on Amazon. However, it can already be pre-ordered for € 64.99 and will be delivered punctually on the day of publication. As soon as the device is available, we will test the new streaming stick and report whether the advertising promises have really been kept.

Stop procrastinating: How distraction blockers can help you regain focus
Constant digital distractions kill your productivity. Distraction blockers like Forest or Freedom help you regain focus. They specifically block distractions on your PC and mobile phone and use techniques like the Pomodoro Technique. This helps you stop procrastinating.
Wer ist wo? Microsoft Teams schafft Klarheit im Hybrid-Büro
Die neue Arbeitsstandort-Funktion in Microsoft Teams zeigt, wer im Büro oder remote arbeitet. Verbessern Sie Ihre Meeting-Planung in Outlook und die Team-Koordination. Wir erklären die Vorteile, die Admin-Steuerung und die tiefe Anbindung an Microsoft Viva.
Excel Tutorial: How to quickly and safely remove duplicates
Duplicate entries in your Excel lists? This distorts your data. Our tutorial shows you, using a practical example, how to clean up your data in seconds with the "Remove Duplicates" function – whether you want to delete identical rows or just values in a column.
Dynamic ranges in Excel: OFFSET function
The OFFSET function in Excel creates a flexible reference. Instead of fixing =SUM(B5:B7), the function finds the range itself, e.g., for the "last 3 months". Ideal for dynamic charts or dashboards that grow automatically.
Mastering the INDIRECT function in Excel
The INDIRECT function in Excel converts text into a real reference. Instead of manually typing =January!E10, use =INDIRECT(A2 & "!E10"), where A2 contains 'January'. This allows you to easily create dynamic summaries for multiple worksheets.
From assistant to agent: Microsoft’s Copilot
Copilot is growing up: Microsoft's AI is no longer an assistant, but a proactive agent. With "Vision," it sees your Windows desktop; in M365, it analyzes data as a "Researcher"; and in GitHub, it autonomously corrects code. The biggest update yet.
