Obscure Chinese brand beats HP, Dell, 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 range of mini PCs, has launched the world's first 3-in-1 Windows tablet powered by AMD's latest Ryzen 8000 CPU. The tablet, named V3, also doubles as a portable monitor, offering flexibility for users on the go.

The 14-inch LCD screen has a resolution of 2560x1600 and a 165Hz frame rate and 500nit brightness. It supports VLink (DP-in video input), which allows the tablet to serve as a secondary screen.

The V3 is powered by a Ryzen 7 flagship processor backed up by AMD Radeon 780M graphics and up to 32GB of LPDDR5 RAM. Storage comes in the form of an M.2 PCIe 2280 SSD up to 2TB capacity.

Active pen and detachable keyboard

There are two USB4, full function, Type-C ports and one USB-C, VLink (DP-in) and a SD card slot. Connectivity is provided in the form of WIFI 6E (802.11ax) and Bluetooth 5.3.

It comes with a detachable keyboard with backlight 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 four copper tube cooling, which ensures sustained performance at 28W. This means users can expect the tablet to handle high-intensity tasks without overheating or slowing down. There are three energy modes on offer – power saver, balance, and high performance  - and you can switch between these using the system management dashboard,

In terms of software, the V3 runs Windows 11 Pro and is designed to work seamlessly with Microsoft 365 Copilot.

No word on pricing or availability at the moment, but Minisforum says it expects to start accepting pre-orders by the end of March.

The latest Apple TV 4K test lets you watch four sports streams at once

Apple is trying something new with the latest beta version of tvOS 16.5: the option to watch up to four simultaneous streams at once. Right now it's limited to live sports streamed through the Apple TV app on the Apple TV 4K , specifically MLB Friday Night Baseball and the MLS Season Pass. A multi-view option was spotted in the tvOS software last month, but the code was hidden and not enabled. MacRumors reported that the feature would be enabled this weekend, and beta testers have since been able to use it. As yet multi-view hasn't been officially announced by Apple, but it's expected that tvOS 16.5 is going to be pushed out in its final form within the next month or so. WWDC 2023 is around the corner as well, when we should be hearing about the next major updates for Apple's various operating systems – including tvOS 17. How it works Over at 9to5Mac there's a hands-on demonstrating how the multi-view feature works, and it's pretty much as you would expe...

Quantum computers are fast becoming cheaper and smaller — and they could be coming to a data center near you very soon

IonQ claims we’re closer to widespread enterprise quantum computing deployment as it lifted the lid on two rack-mounted models that can be deployed on-premises.   The startup has built the fourth-generation #AQ35 IonQ Forte Enterprise and fifth-generation #AQ64 IonQ Tempo, both of which are designed to be deployed in enterprise and government data centers. It’s also said it is deploying two quantum computers to the US Air Force.  While revealing these two models, IonQ co-founder and CTO Jungsang Kim said quantum computers are already in use by enterprises to churn through machine learning workloads. This, he added, suggests we’re much closer to readily available and affordable machines. Priming enterprises for a quantum future “We believe in the enterprise-grade quantum computing, which is where it can be something of value for enterprises, can happen in the next few years as we build powerful enough quantum computers that can actually do things that classical computers w...

Nvidia RTX 4080 GPU could get cheaper with a new version – but don’t get your hopes up

Nvidia’s RTX 4080 is purportedly getting a new spin on the GPU which could reduce the cost, but any price reduction will likely be very minor, sadly, if it happens at all. Tom’s Hardware flagged up this rumor – and treat it with caution, as with anything from the ever-spinning mill – that originated from HKEPC (a tech site in Hong Kong), claiming that while the current RTX 4080 graphics card is built on the AD103-300 chip, Nvidia is going to use a slightly different GPU in the future, namely AD103-301. There’s now more evidence this is actually happening, Tom’s points out, courtesy of a graphics card maker, Galax, which under its RTX 4080 product details lists the GPU as ‘AD103-300/301’. Furthermore, VideoCardz , which also picked up on this, informs us that Gainward, another card maker, has also listed the updated GPU variant AD103-301 in its product specs. With two separate third-party graphics card makers mentioning this new spin on the GPU in their specs, it seems pret...
