Update! Official release is on April 15th. Ive been doing a lot of testing since posting this video and very excited to show off more on the 15th. Let me know what you would like to see running and testing with the V3

[@JerrySizzla]

I would love to know how loud that thing gets? Also a little concerned about the issues with the stand that you pointed-out - did the manufacturer respond? Thanks for all the great videos!

[@1BlueFunk]

Idk. Just make sure the tablet doesn't go beyond 60c, idc what the manufacturers do, idc what you do. Its unsafe, uncomfortable to think of, and quite frankly a stupid design flaw. Its experimental tech. It's made to last at best 5years so enjoy, i guess

I would like to see linux, proton and steam running on this beast.

[@ETAPRIME]

Seriously, I was super Skeptical about this tablet but they really did their homework with this.

[@Vinterloft]

@@ETAPRIME They asked for feedback in some Reddit communities and forums so a lot of us nerds got to chime in. For example, the 1TB option was going to come with only 16GB RAM, and it was going to have a microSD card slot instead of the UHS-II SD. I think it's because of that they have made such a perfect device. They've made something that appeals to every type of prosumer. Photographer/ artist? Check. (1600p instead of 1440p, stylus, UHS-II SD) Home recording? Check. (Passive mode, extremely expandable USB layout)

This tablet needs a proper Surface Pro style kickstand built into the device. When you lay it down you block air intake, when you put on the extra stand you block air intake. This is a huge oversight that basically necessitates you carry around a separate tablet stand. Hopefully they get this fixed for the next version of this tablet.

Thanks for the early look! I'm super-interested in this tablet, however I am curious about the "gap" between the top of the display glass and the 'picture'.

[@_Turbocat777]

Having that display input port is HUGE in regards to e-waste since this will still be able to be used (tbh every tablet and AIO desktop should do this) What I'm really interested in is the pen input, is it just mimicking finger input or is it using a second digitizer that can see tilt and pressure? p.s. price would be nice to know as well.

Around $900

[@8BitCerberus]

@@declangallagher1448 $900-ish would be damn reasonable (depending on how much keyboard and pen add-ons are as well) with this being a legitimate option to replace an aging laptop. I've had so many Apple and Android tablets and they inevitably end up just being pure content consumption machines because the apps are always too restricted for any real use, at least for my own use case (Android a bit less-so, but still not nearly as free as a proper PC/Laptop.)

Looking forward to ordering one of these, waiting ages for the release date, perfect device for putting into a backpack full of camera gear and bringing it along to a studio shoot where you can tether your camera and still use full lightroom and photoshoot to view/tweak/edit images, then its small enough to hop into bed at night and edit pics or watch media. Pity about the stand/cover blocking airways, I was hoping they would be a company that might try and use the new Airjet Solid state Active cooling chips that replace the need for fans on slimline devices. Also was hoping for 64gigs of ram which photo editors for high MP cameras would appreciate.

I really hope you can review the VLINK or however it should be spelled. I want to know if it is just an app or if you’re essentially getting a mux between Tablet display or an external HDMI/DP-in which would be AMAZING as a 2nd display. If touch passes through would be a bonus too. 165Hz 2nd monitor (FreeSync is a bonus) for a beefier laptop or tablet mode for portable viewing would be awesome.

[@volcalstone]

I'm sure this is all hardware and has nothing to do with software. The only issue I see is hooking up anything else other than a PC. The aspect ratio will throw this off so hopefully it will have a menu system to fix this like a traditional portable monitor. I have two portable monitors, one 17" 1440p and the other 18" 1600p, both at 165Hz w/ FS. I actually prefer my 17" as it will still output to 1080p on my Switch for example while on my 18" it would not work at all for some reason. Another example would be with a media dongle. On the 18" it would resort to 720p instead of outputting to 1080p as it's not a native 1080p screen. It's taking half of that 1440p resolution instead. Also with my 17" monitor I could use my mClassic to up covert anything to 1440p instead. So basically this probably won't be made for consoles so much unless it could output to 1440p like the PS5 or XSX. 16:10 is nice for PC use only imo. Also I wish the screen resolution was 1080p with these iGPUs at this time. Maybe in a few years we could do 1440p/1600p. Low quality graphics should always be an option, not a requirement. I do like myself a sharp display but 1080p isn't so bad still. It's only a 14" screen as well not a 16" so much.

[@unXpected]

Yea I hope he can review the VLINK in detail. Hoping it is hardware based that passes through the touch, ideally even the keyboard/trackpad when the typecover is attached. Edit: From their product page: Hot to activate the VLINK (DP-in video input) function? 1. Function description: VLink (DP-in) only supports the function of a portable display when the input device is connected to the VLink port of the V3 via the Type-C port when the power is off. This allows the video and audio signals from the input device to be displayed directly. 2. Function instructions: Power-on access: The DP-in function can be activated after the user is prompted to turn off the computer via the application in the Windows system. In sleep mode: The screen is on and the application in the Windows system prompts the user to enable the DP-in function after the computer is turned off. When switched off: The video/audio signals from the input device are displayed directly. So it is hardware based actually, and 'most likely' without touch/keyboard/trackpad forwarding.

[@Zaf9670]

@@unXpected well hopefully at least the FreeSync VRR will be via the hardware as well. That could make for an interesting bigger screen for anyone rocking a Steam Deck or other handhelds that want something larger to play on the go.

[@SlowPCGaming1]

One way to solve the issue of ventilation with the kickstand is to use a hinged frame that fits snugly around the tablet. The hinge could be a mid-point allowing the tablet to be used as a tablet, thin laptop, in tent mode (or A-Frame mode), paired with an external higher resolution touch display that they also sell could also make it a dual touch screen mobile computer. The frame would have cutouts for the buttons, ports, etc.

I will like to see the following considered in a subsequent video. 1. If connected to an external monitor, say an ultrawide 40" 4K monitor, will the V3 keyboard accessory be able to control both monitors without using an external BT or uSB KB? 2. BlackMagic's Davince Resolve - i would like to see some demonstration with this application to demonstrate scrubbing, frame drops (or the lack thereof) rendering, and such tasks related to video NLE production. 3.

It's $1200 special deal for Pre-orders with $1500 retail price.

[@dimitriid]

Does this gets access to the BIOS? Or user replace-able m.2? Because I'm thinking 'This is interesting as a Ryzen Windows tablet but it could be *awesome* as a Ryzen Linux tablet instead'

[@gentlemanbirdlake]

if drivers for the power management can happen then yes, please

[@kaeota]

M.2 is replacable, no official word on BIOS but... frankly I don't think they're experienced enough to lock us out. 😅

[@dimitriid]

@@kaeota I think that with user replaceable m.2 it might be possible at least as a transplant install (A distro with good detection might be able to boot into a usable state even if the OS was installed on a different rig altogether) but I think they just might allow BIOS update simply because even on windows you'd want BIOS level updates of the fan curve on a device that might be succeptible to overheating if a windows fan curve util crashes or something, I hope that's the case anyway.

[@watercolourmark]

Questions about the VLink port. Firstly, I imagine the VLink port works as a normal USB port when not using Vlink? So, if it does when you use VLink a display does it also hookup the keyboard and tracker for the external machine?

[@fredtorres1703]

This is too good to be true....please keep this on the radar.

[@AleksandarT10]

Great device, whether it will succeed depends on the price point

[@DigitalJedi]

At around $900-1100 it competes pretty well with Surface devices by local pricing. If I was in the market for a portable PC right now this would be up there for sure.

[@DanielMurrell]

I'm gonna take credit for this as I commented on minifourms video to send you a device. I take compensation in the form of hugs and rum. Great video as usual

[@nitmare64]

Wish it had controllers. I know it can be used with wireless controllers but i would have loved to use this as a full handheld.

finally, been questioning why no tablet with amd apu until now.

I want to see linux running on this.

[@TheGrumpyCyclist]

Would love to see a video that talks about linux compatibility Great content btw keep it up :)

[@Terreos]

Definitely want to see some gameplay of HellDivers 2 and if you still have it to use the GPD G1. Would make for a nice portable workstation that way.

[@ReaperHackz]

165 hz screen 14 inch wow that is pretty nice wish they had like a android version of this with an ARM cpu platform where you could arm windows and android.

[@anglo-saxonconnor817]

I need an idea of how big the gap is between this tablet and let's say something running on a 8 gen 3 plus processor. That will really make things easy to understand. Like how many folds or how different the antutu scores are etc.

[@alejandrocaicedopuj6231]

Big

[@releasemeeee]

its about +50% on the cpu side, and +100% on the gpu side, for the ryzen 8840u vs snapdragon 8 gen 3

If they can bring that to market at under $500, it will be reasonably interesting, getting more interesting at the price point drops

[@byrond2184]

I wish, but there is no way this doesn't start at $1200 to $1300.

[@jihadalsweed]

$500!!!!! i swear people say things like they have good insight to costs. Similar to the "4090 gpu should be around $400 dollar" type of comments. reasonably interesting for a new top of the line cpu + 2k /100%p3/touchscreen monitor with pen support + 32g ram+ 2tb m.2. Not good or amazing but reasonably interesting as if the market is flooded with these and the cost is less than $400.

[@jihadalsweed]

i think it should be free that is "reasonably interesting"

[@gregorycoleman2149]

Is going to be around $1k

[@DoobooDomo]

One unique combo is that pen input and high-refresh display on a tablet -- are there any other devices with this combo? Really looking forward to seeing what the pen latency is on this thing. Also, major kudos for having displayport inputs!

[@dzibanart8521]

Hi, artist here, I use devices with pen input on a daily basis, not even Microsoft Surface 10 have this hight refresh rate. This is probably the best screen for MPP to date. That being said MPP is very prone to jitter when drawing slow diagonal lines, it has improved with MPP2.6 (the version used by Minisforum V3) so the line quality line will come down the the pen itself, if it the first party pen is bad you can always try with the RENAISSER Raphael 530 Stylus, or the official Microsoft's Slim pen 2.

[@mhszminth2387]

minis forum geting even closer to my needs, i am sure i will buy in the feaature and this is the way to go , i am still waiting for a much more capable igpu from amd and i am sure minis will use it the right way

[@progressivenetwork3584]

Linux support?

[@barrelrole]

thats what i wanna know too g

[@Monchistep]

Yes! This is great! Why? Buttons controllers wear over time and with this just use your Xbox/ps5 controller without worrying about the controllers on the handheld itself. I really like this I have the Rog ally but sometimes I would love a bigger screen and I’m good with my console controllers

[@taranullius9221]

How is a 14" comparable to a handheld? Who doesn't already have a Windows device?

[@AceAku]

I would buy it in a heartbeat as long as the battery life is good, can we please get some testing on that? 🙏, my current tablet only last about 6 hours with lite use! Also egpu performance ease of setup would be great as well. I haven't been excited about tech for a long time now I'm itching to get one!

[@duanim1]

minisforum hit the jack pot with this hybrid tablet. definitely its buy.

[@Anarkey]

I'm actually interested in this but gotta know whether it will last a full day without charging. But the DP-in port is a huge thing. I've been wanting something like this for quite awhile.

[@LarkinWang]

I am really looking forward to the Minisforum V3 tablet powered by an AMD chip. The prospect of using a powerful AMD processor in a portable tablet format is thrilling! However, I often use devices plugged in for long periods and am concerned about overcharge protection. Does the Minisforum V3 have features to prevent battery damage from staying connected to power continuously? This information will be crucial for my purchase decision. Thanks!

[@LayerbyLayerOfficial]

Awesome video! one thing you might want to change is the thumbnail which says it has a ryzen 3 instead of a 7

[@DonAshcraft]

Very nicely done initial review thank you! As much as I love my Samsung Tab S9+ that has become a near laptop replacement, I can't run Photoshop on it so I'm drooling over this tablet. Thanks to your review, I also use a Minisforum UM 780 XTX as my Photoshop travel device in my RV. It's fantastic with Photoshop and AI plugins. Possibly in your future reviews of the slate, I would be curious to see how Photoshop and Premier Pro runs. On Windows Surface tablets with ARM CPUs it was a no-go zone. I would be interested in how Photoshop and Lightroom render complicated editing such as "Enhance" tool and AI features as well as just basic editing and rendering. Of course, PugetBench scores would really give us some comparable data with Photoshop. Thanks again for this awesome review!

[@trthib]

Any chance to use a SteamDeck Dock (official or aftermarket) with it ? Would the tablet hold in place or fall ? Would the dock cable be long enough to plug it in ?

[@tehcrashxor]

Hmm. Could you used this tablet as an external monitor for itself? Video out from the right attached directly to the video in on the left? Or put an eGPU in that loop?

[@ktvx.94]

For these 16:10 displays, I think it makes more sense to play at 800p with integer scaling than say 900p like you did with Cyberpunk. I'd say it's 1600p native > 1600p with FSR > 800p depending on how demanding the game is.

[@shirowfx]

Great to see a portable device other than cameras with a full size UHS-II card slot.

[@funpak9225]

I have a question- I know it can be used as a monitor for other devices but I'm wondering if you can extend to another monitor to turn it into dual screen setup?

[@ramihaidafy]

Great tablet, but I wish you showed us more of the kickstand. That will make or break this tablet for me. It's important that it can hold itself at different angles. I wish it was integrated with a hinge like the Surface Pro.

[@ReflexVE]

Are all the devices supported in Linux? Fedora would be a good test as the kernel is very up to date. Especially interested in audio and Webcam support as those commonly are not supported in Linux. Also battery life in general?

[@JulianTZL]

What's the weight of the keyboard and or stand? Cant believe this was missed.

[@kylevanwagn3r]

I'm pretty sure you're supposed to fold the top half of the back cover down as the stand. That's how they showed it in the preview videos they've released, and that keeps it from blocking the intake!

[@jerryohhh]

@ETAPRIME Can I use that for SketchUp, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and any digital creation without lag, hiccups, or overheating?
