The V3 will sport a 28 W Ryzen 7 8840U processor with 8 Zen4 cores, integrated Radeon 780M and powerful XDNA NPU, along with a high-quality 14-inch touchscreen, up to 32 GB RAM and 2 TB storage. Pricing info is expected to be revealed by late March.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Minisforum-reveals-full-specs-for-V3-3-in-1-tablet-AMD-Ryzen-7-8840-confirmed-with-late-March-release.800835.0.html
If Minisforum doesn't ef anything up, this could be Microsoft's best Surface Pro competitor.
Let's see the price!
PS: a cheaper/thinner fanless version would be nice too! (just like the Surface Pro had an i5 fanless version).
I'd be way more interested if it's 13 inch or 12 inch. I'm looking for a good seatback entertainment laptop for flights in flight but also can do photo editing with the software I use.
16:10 = no interest, no Surface / iPad alternative
How would it be comfortable using a 14-inch device in tablet mode, next we'll see 17-inch tablets
2 fans for lower than base apple M3 performance that can run fanless
Pass, waiting for Snapdragon

Let's not. Where I am at minisforum hx99g minipc with a 3 year old rx 6600m dgpu is like almost 1k. Even their zen4 apu with only radeon 780m igpu minipc is barely cheaper than a rog ally (which comes with a screen). So I'm expecting surface tier level pricing on this one, especially if it's of comparable build quality.

Yup, afraid of that too.
Hopefully it's on the 1000 $/€ range, but it might be higher.
Pros
Ryzen (better battery life than Intel) and Windows (full OS).
Cons
Form factor: 14-inch convertible (not sure if anyone is looking for a 2-in-1 of this size), 900+ grams without the keyboard (too heavy), 16:10 aspect ratio (why not 3:2 for more productivity space).
Unknown
Price, 50Wh battery can be good or bad depending on the setup.
Minisforum should make an 11-inch or a 13-inch 2-in-1 next using an ARM processor and Windows on ARM platform. Priced it similar to Robo & Kalla with the right form factor. I'm using R&K now and it's definitely more useful than an iPad Pro or Android tablet.
