Obscure Chinese brand beats HP, Dell and Lenovo to deliver first tablet with AMD’s latest Ryzen 8000 CPU – you can even use it as a portable monitor and here’s how it works
Minisforum, best known for its line of mini PCs, has launched the world’s first 3-in-1 Windows tablet, powered by AMD’s latest Ryzen 8000 CPU. Called V3, the tablet doubles as a portable monitor, offering flexibility for users on the go.
The 14-inch LCD screen has a resolution of 2560×1600 and a frame rate of 165Hz and a brightness of 500nit. It supports VLink (DP-in video input), allowing the tablet to serve as a secondary display.
The V3 is powered by a Ryzen 7 flagship processor, backed by AMD Radeon 780M graphics and up to 32GB of LPDDR5 RAM. Storage comes in the form of an M.2 PCIe 2280 SSD with a capacity of up to 2TB.
Active pen and detachable keyboard
There are two USB4, fully functional Type-C ports and one USB-C, VLink (DP-in) and an SD card slot. Connectivity is offered in the form of WIFI 6E (802.11ax) and Bluetooth 5.3.
It comes with a detachable backlit keyboard and an active pen for writing and drawing.
One of the standout features of the V3 is its cooling system. It is equipped with dual fans and quad copper tube cooling, ensuring durable performance at 28W. This means users can expect the tablet to handle high-intensity tasks without overheating or slowing down. Three power modes are available – energy saving, balance and high performance – and you can switch between them using the system management dashboard.
Software-wise, the V3 runs on Windows 11 Pro and is designed to work seamlessly with Microsoft 365 Copilot.
No word on pricing or availability at this time, but Mini forum says it expects to start accepting pre-orders in late March.
