The V3 SE is making waves as it hits the global market just a month after its initial introduction in China. This new release from Minisforum maintains much of the charm of its predecessor, the V3, with a few notable tweaks designed to balance performance and affordability.
At its core, the V3 SE is powered by a less robust AMD Ryzen APU compared to the V3, resulting in slight changes in performance. While both models share a significant number of features, the V3 SE employs the Ryzen 7 7735U, which offers about 15% less performance than the Ryzen 7 8840U found in the V3. Accompanying this adjustment is the integrated Radeon 680M graphics, providing approximately 10% less power than the Radeon 780M equipped in the original V3.
One of the more noticeable changes is the display. The V3 SE sports a 14-inch screen with a resolution of 1200p, a refresh rate of 60 Hz, and a brightness of 320 nits. In contrast, the V3 offers a higher quality 1600p display with a fast 165 Hz refresh rate and a much brighter panel at 500 nits. Despite these changes, the V3 SE retains the sleek 16:10 aspect ratio that makes it visually appealing and versatile for various tasks.
In terms of battery performance, the V3 SE remains steadfast with a 50.82 Wh battery that supports efficient 65 W charging. This ensures that users can stay powered on the go. Storage is ample with a 1 TB M.2 2280 SSD, and memory is robust with 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM clocked at an impressive 6,400 MT/s.
Priced at $799, the V3 SE is available directly from Minisforum, featuring a solid configuration that would appeal to users looking for a blend of performance and practicality. With an expected release on Amazon at the same price point, this 2-in-1 device is poised to attract buyers seeking a reliable machine without breaking the bank.
