As per the in-depth review from Notebookcheck, below are the stats: -
Battery Runtime

Idle (without WLAN, min brightness) 8h 48min
WiFi Websurfing (Edge) 5h 52min
WiFi Websurfing max. Brightness (Edge) 5h 00min
Load (maximum brightness) 1h 59min


I would assume that for normal day-to-day mix usage with around 250-nits brightness at 60Hz, you would get around 6 to 7 hours at max. It does not achieve excellent result compared to some other Windows Consumer tablets but pretty good for such a small 51 WHr battery and a 14" 1600P screen.

YO, EVERYONE, CHEAPER DEAL.
This takes about 30 days to ship (just got mine). You can get it from Newegg for $999 in a few days, and it comes with the protection of having purchased from a real US company and not shipping from HK with $30+ in foreign transaction fees. After fees, the Newegg deal is $20 cheaper.

Anyone who buys from new egg is a idiot, what they did during graphic shortage, rebates and how they handled warranties. You can't trust them.

At this point. New egg is a Chinese company. Their warranty is going to be worse or about the same as minis. Their warranty department, even after they promised better support, is frustrating from the reviews

A better product than what Microsoft has been releasing in years now, but luckily Microsoft has finally moved onto a snapdragon SOC Surface product. But this is the next best thing after that
Better is relative. I can't believe I'm saying this, but the MS Surface is actually more serviceable than the V3. I was ready with my CC at launch of the V3 until I found that the SSD was behind the glued screen.

Of course, I can't get the SP11 as my legacy programs (and some modern ones) are not guaranteed to work with the ARM translation layer. That's In addition to the SSD being physically too small to be my DD, even though it's replaceable.

Lenovo has made the x1 tablets for some time

i have the ThinkPad X12 Gen 1 Detachable Intel (12″).. smaller screen and came with Intel Core i7-1160G7 @ 1.20GHz 2 years ago.
Got it from a tip on here with the i7 for $770 2 years ago.

So yes the ryzen 8840u is exciting. Thing about the lenovo, they are imho durable.

I had the thinkpad detachable tablet from 3 generations before the one i have and it came with a a propriety dock. Worked great as a desktop replacment for what i did in a hospital. Go to bedside with the chart and return to my desk and it drove 2 monitors.

Kudos to minisforum.We shall see with durability.
I also have the Lenovo detachable with same specs. It's a great little PC.

Holy fuk if I was to get a tablet and pay full price I get something like this.

Apple iPad killer.

PC laptop manufactured take note if you make a soldered ram and SSD do it like this.

Plus also if it's not soldered then even bigger bonus points.

I'm a techy so I don't need their support unless a piece breaks.

I'll install doo boot to Linux Windows maybe a 3rd to android or if hackable to iOS. Seems like it's made by techies and not stupid suits spamming to make a quick buck.

Chasis just needs to feel metal. Get some protection cover guards and boom.

Definitely better than 90% of the stupid paid apple deals they spamming.

Framework as a laptop. Maybe but thing is super expensive still for what you get.

This is still over my budget for now as I don't really need it.

Same with framework.

Ps I really do not need much more than 1920 x 1080 p. I rather save battery.

Good for a non gamer system though.

That's true I wish the manufactures stop forcing planned obsolescence on us like apple I hate them for that.

As a result of I have alternatives to apple I will take it and shame anyone spamming bad apple deals here that bought apple meme stonk. So they come here to pump.

Amazon offers at $999. However, a great place if you want easy and smooth transaction or return when needed.

No tablet will mine crypto worth more than the power it costs to run.
This is a very very cool tablet, but it would be a colossal waste to try this.

And you can 5% off if you have the creditcard. Plus an extra year of coverage. You can also buy extended warranty if you want. They have one for 1299, with 300 of and on for 1249 with 250 of. Cannot see the difference.

As well how is the writing recognition on this? Does it come with a pen? If not what pen is compatible?

Battery life is not great. You can put on battery saver to stretch it it, but if you need battery life, maybe no.
