MinisForum V3 vs. Surface Pro 10 - Which Tablet is Better? Comprehensive.

I do not mean this as a knock at all, I genuinely love this 2014-era tech review video production level. Just a person giving opinions. No splashy animations and transitions purchased from an animation pack everyone uses, you're not trying to very clearly cop any particular creator's style. Just straight tech in long cuts from your own voice. I love it.

You go above and beyond thanks! Really looking forward to the eGPU experience.

Thanks again for another great vid cbutters! You always touch on the info that I want to know wrt power, perf, thermals.

Nice video--I think I made the right choice. Mine came today😊 I have a lot to learn and you are getting info I can use. The stuff that came along in the box is all good and useful--nice sleeve, nice screen protector, Pen and keyboard. All in the base price. Free and fast shipping to the door was nice too. Only wish I could have gotten a bigger or faster SSD. This would have been a great option and I guess it really can't be swapped out. I'll just have to break out the usb 4 enclosure ssd drive. Probably next gen will offer choices. Overall, nice upgrade over my old surface pro. Keep putting these vids out--saving me from having to learn on my own.

Great review - I owned a surface pro 7 and I loved that device. I've preordered the minisforum v3 though as the negatives you outlined were very minor, and the better performance, lower power consumption, and the much cheaper price made it a no brainer. Will be bringing my microsoft surface mouse over to use with the V3 though, not a fan of trackpads (only use them if i'm away from a flat surface to work on)

Your reviews have improved a lot! Great work, keep it up. As per kickstand, nothing, I mean nothing, beats Surface Pro’s built-in strong kickstand. The only thing that is the closest is the Legion Go built-in kickstand. The only thing I would prefer this Minisforum one is just because of the APU it uses is 50x better than the Surface Pro 10 Iris iGPU, otherwise Surface Pro x86 series are very solid ( I have a SP8 ).

Great comparison, thanks! Glad I pre-ordered the v3 over the surface pro 10.

If it survives, I would love to get the 2nd or 3rd gen of the V3.

As it sits, the value proposition of the MinisForum sounds great, but with a rumored Surface Snapdragon event coming in less than three weeks, I'll have to decide on May 20th. Thank you for the detailed review. The MinisForum was not even on my radar, but is now a contender.

Very nice review/comparison!

Thanks for the fair and informative review.

Finally! A really good comprehensive comparison between these two devices. Cameron, I'm curious... Does the Surface Signature Keyboard from the Surface Pro 8 and 9 also work on the Surface Pro 10?

I was interested when you brought up that the pen and screen texture makes it feel more like pen on paper on the V3 than on the Surface Pro 10. I would love to learn more about how useful the V3 is for artists, and for that matter, video editing and maybe even 3D modeling.

My V3 just arrived yesterday. Super niche use case, I also own a Lenovo Tab Extreme, and both have display port in. The Tab Extreme makes a perfect second monitor for this lol. And oddly enough while I don't really need to dual screen my android tablet, the V3 works as a second display for the Tab Extreme.

Thank you for doing this video!🎉

You hit the nail on the head. Handling the Surface Pro 9 is a pleasure. The rounded edges and attention to other physical details makes for a comfortable experience. The Forum device is rough but will probably improve in future iterations. It's biggest feature is performance. For me though, performance is secondary as I use my Surface for office productivity and programming exclusively.

Ty for this big Information i will buy the v3 now piece😊🎉

I don't really know, I'm confused between the battery performance of the V3 and the power and harmony of the Surface. Thank you and I want to try more.

Great comparison. Mine is stuck at customs pending import permit

ty for this super helpful review! was most curious how this stand will hold up if you are working with the stand on your lap. the missing integrated stand has been keeping me from buying the minisforum device but looks like it gets the job done. Is it fair to assume that the bigger size and lower rigidity of the v3 keyboard also make it slightly worse off than the surface in laptopability? I loved the surface despite the price gouging because I contort myself in weird positions when I'm in the flow, working. The surface doesn't interrupt that sweet flow which I value the most. If you're a normal person the minisforum is likely the better choice, but if you have bad habits like I do, the 5% is more like "30% of the time" usecase.
