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.

      During my normal usage in Linux, which includes web browsing with Firefox, video playback with Haruna Media Player (with hwdec set to auto), writing in Obsidian, and lightweight coding in Visual Studio Code and Android Studio, the tablet lasts for 6 hours.

      There’s no such thing as lightweight android studio lol. The battery would likely last much longer just playing a movie at low brightness, which is usually what hardware companies do to measure and advertise battery life.

        Even the surface book 3 with it’s two batteries only got 7 hours for me with use.

        It’s all about the TDP of the chip, pixel density and refresh rate of the screen and battery capacity.

        Recipe for long battery life is low power CPU, lower resolution (HD vs UHD) screen, no touch input, bigger battery.

        Tablets don’t usually follow that recipe.
