It's the MinisForum V3
Pros:
- Touchscreen (currently works best on KDE Plasma)
- AMD CPU (Ryzen 7 8840U) [8 cores, 16 threads] + GPU (Radeon 780M)
- Power button + Fingerprint reader (built into the tablet portion thankfully)
- 3.5mm audio jack
- 65W PD power adapter (likely to be GaN)
- Magnesium alloy body
- the inclusion of gyroscopes means display auto-rotation is supported
- 1x stylus pen included
- [4096 level pressure, up to MPP 2.6 SLA]
- (I have no idea what any of that means, hopefully it's useful to yall)
- Keyboard that is/has:
- Detachable
- Backlight LED lighting
- Even-surface actuation pressure touchpad
- an optional purchase (which can be deselected before checkout)

TL;DW:
It's been 3 years since Neofetch received updates and the repo has been officially archived since Apr 26, 2024.
