I currently own the PX13 with the 4060, beautiful OLED screen but only 60hz and not a tablet form factor.

Also have the opportunity to grab a used Z13 3050Ti model for half the price I paid for the PX13 (Around £450). Weaker GPU but tablet form factor is cool and more comfortable for travelling.

I can also get the Minisforum V3 lightly used for £680. Bit nervous about lack of support on this one though.

How does the Minisforum compare to the Z13? I do most of my heavier PC gaming via Geforce Now so I think all the listed laptops should handle my gaming fine.
 
I have a V3 and a new Halo 128GB tablet for AIAIAIAIAI. Support is minimal but there are parts out there for the tablet. The tablets are more likely to break with their little fan but the V3 is cheap enough I have got less concerned over that.

Its a Hawkpoint cpu at 36W max. It can do light gaming and there are enough benchmarks out there. I was pleasantly surprised but not it is not running anything heavy but that is not what it is for.
It is a heavy ass tablet. And heavy compared to notebook
V-link is really useful as travel with work laptop and then can use the Minisforum as a 2nd monitor. That was why I got it. It is very nice to travel with as can charge of a little phone charger no problem. I think I will keep using it for that
 
I got the latest Z13 in the end for a fair bit more, but it was worth it for the extra power and battery life along with other improvements.

Really prefer it to the conventional laptop form factor!
 
I have Z13 4060 and PX13, they're both great but I use the PX13 for work, though if the Z13 had 32GB, I'd use it more.

V3 CPU isn't as beefy not is there a dedicated GPU but, it does support HDMI, so can be used as an external monitor...

That says, if I had £3k, I'd get the 128GB Z13, the form factor is very cool.
