This tablet actually works perfectly with Linux. The only issue is that auto rotate isn't working yet.

I'm glad something like this exists, even if I don't personally buy it. $200 to upgrade the RAM is awfully steep.

Two completely different devices, targetting different audience. Otherwise, people would have been buying gaming laptops instead of high end productivity laptops because gaming laptops are cheaper than those.

now if someone can make controllers that can grip a 14" screen so i can use it as a mega gaming device, that'll be great.

Galileo G8. Remove the small plastic nub. Voila.

i tried this on a gamesir G2 (i think thats the model) and while it worked, the spring that holds the 2 halves together made me feel uneasy.. and i'm unsure of doing this back and forth everyday while moving around

We are talking about the new surface with the snapdragon x elite, the latest version of windows arm that support prism emulation not the old POS surface with the sub par sq3.

thanks for clearing that up.
these chips are the ones they been hyping up for 2-3 months?
i'm going to go on history and say
optimization on 3rd party, even OEM apps are gonna be crap.
with that said, i hope i'm wrong

Cheaper "than those" what?

It is 14" inch, weights 3.52lb, with two constantly running fans, maximum temperature on the upper side is 123 F, bottom heats up to a maximum of 131F.

Oh and you get 2h of productivity or 5h of web browsing.

And it's more convenient compared to laptops how exactly?
In what exact situation it'll be so easy to use?

I don't agree. This is comparable to the Surface with Elite chip in everything but battery life (and I doubt its gonna be that far off in that regard), and it will probably have better performance when plugged in. Most likely better gaming performance too. You can upgrade the SSD on the Minisforum much much much more easily. And once its older you can just use it as a portable display for something else. That Surface turns into a brick that you'll basically almost have to destroy if you want to try to fix it. Overpriced accessories, and I can all but guarantee it'll be easier to disable the AI junk on the minisforum tablet than a Surface one. Don't be surprised if Microsoft ends up sued by the DoJ again because of the shenanigans they're pulling trying to force their AI stuff (Bing AI integrated and also trying to force people to use Edge).

M4 Ipad > surface or this

IPad pro 13. M4 is overkill as in happy with it. Oled/m4 noticeable upgrades from m1

I can't find any demo of the fan noise. I'd sell my gaming desktop and galaxy tab ultra to get this if I knew it was silent. I hate the whine of laptop fans. My gaming desktop is silent but I don't game now and it kills my power bill for all day productivity.

Having had this since release, I can tell you it's damn quiet. I turned off Turbo to lock the CPU at 3.3 ghz so the GPU can breathe freely. Playing Doom Eternal at 2k Ultra settings (minus Ray Tracing) at 40-60 FPS and I still can't hear the fans and the system never goes above 75c.

The latest iPad may have one of the most powerful Proessor but OS and Software and OS wise, it still can't compete against laptops, whether Mac or Windows. The PadOS and its apps are not yet optimized, nor they provide similar level of functionalities compared to the Windows or mac OS versions.

MKBHD says all ipads have oversized hardware compared to what the software can deliver. He says M2 Ipad air is as good as new m4 ipad pro and would accomplish tasks without much difference.

Oh 1000%.

The only reason you buy a new iPad Pro is for the screen. Otherwise, get an air or better yet, last year's ipad pro.

If only they make these pen-friendly tablets Linux-friendly!

Fedora Linux runs great on it. As does Solus.

When you run Linux don't you lose the ability to oc/uv native Win devices? It's the main thing stopping me from using it on my G14. Also worried biometrics won't work anymore. Linux performs great on my steam deck, but I'd like to experience the OS on a bigger screen.

That doesn't make any sense. There is no utility or OS requirement to overclock or undervolt as you do that in the BIOS, so not really sure what you mean there. You can set the peak wattage in the bios which is independent of the OS. Many laptops offer in-OS utilities to do this but it is always better to do it in the BIOS. Always.

I like minisforum but that was a terrible timing to launch this at this price.

The surface 9 with the snapdragon will be better. The ipad pro is better.

They had to reduce the price to $899 overnight because of the surface,

Product is sadly DOA and its actually a good product. Next version with a different soc (strix , lunar lake or snapdragon) will be better suited for the market

iPad pro sucks because of iPad OS.
