Amazon's Fire TV line of media streaming devices now includes three different Fire TV Stick models with list prices ranging from $35 to $60. The good, better, best lineup includes an entry-level model with support for 1080p video at up to 60 frames per second, while the top-of-the-line model supports 4K video and features faster WiFi, among other things.

And for folks that want the best of the bunch, there's the Amazon Fire TV Cube, which sells for $140 and features a faster processor and support for hands-free access to the Alexa voice assistant.

While all of Amazon's Fire TV devices now ship with an Alexa Voice remote, allowing you to use your voice to navigate, search, or ask questions, only the Fire TV Cube lets you do that without pressing a button on your remote.

The entry-level Fire TV Stick HD has a processor that's similar to the one in the Fire TV Stick 4K, but the HD model only has 1GB of RAM and support for WiFi 5, while the 4K model has 2GB of RAM and WiFi 6 support.

The Fire TV Stick 4K Max has a faster CPU and GPU, as well as WiFi 6E support. That should all lead to quicker app launch times and smoother, more reliable streaming performance.

M eanwhile, folks who want the most powerful Amazon media streamer available might want to opt for the 3rd-gen Fire TV Cube.

While it's the most expensive of the bunch, at $140, it also has a faster processor, more storage space, Ethernet, USB, and HDMI input ports, a mic and speaker for hands-free Alexa use.
