As sad as it is I think it's probably easier to be productive on a Fire 11 Max than a 1TB iPad Pro with 16GB RAM especially if you're willing to go outside the bounds of Amazon's ecosystem. Android apps like Termux just greatly increase what you can do compared to iOS. I found that I could do more of my work anyways on a $80 Fire 8 HD than my 10" iPad Pro. It wasn't fast, but at least it could do it whereas on the iPad I had to remote into another computer to do anything and live with all the problems that caused.

The search bar on the home screen uses Bing, so perhaps both Amazon and Microsoft benefit. Honestly, my main criticism of all the Amazon tablets is the lack of haptic feedback! They can't be saving much money leaving that out.
