Minisforum reveals full specs for V3 3-in-1 tablet, AMD Ryzen 7 8840U confirmed with late March release

Minisforum detailed most of the specs for the Surface-like V3 convertible back in early January, but the exact APU remained a mystery, even though all the specs were pointing to a “Hawk Point” Ryzen 7 8840U. It took more than a month for the company to finally confirm that the APU is indeed the R7 8840U, most likely because the company was not sure if it can secure enough units. Additionally, Minisforum fulfills its promise to launch the device in Q1 2024 with a more precise release window scheduled for late March.

The product page has also been updated with more information. Here are the full specs:
