I wrote a blog post about my experience with the Minisforum V3 AMD Tablet, focusing on how Linux/Fedora/KDE works on this device and how Linux performs on the tablet devices.

    TDP of the CPU is largely irrelevant if battery life is the goal. You can crank the power down on any Intel system, but you’re still going to get shit battery life of the CPU can’t return to idle.

    Older AMD Ryzen chips got amazing battery life at any load. But they’ve been following intel’s race to idle as quickly as possible and battery life at low-mid loads has suffered dramatically. ARM cpus are much better in that regard.
