The Linux laptop I keep coming back to nails performance and portability
"Naturally, when Tuxedo Computers asked me if I wanted to give one of their latest a spin, I happily accepted, and the had me giddy with anticipation. I'd already reviewed the InfinityBook Gen9 model and found it to be an outstanding Linux-first laptop. This time around, I tested the Gen 10 model with some updated hardware: namely, a 16-core AMD AI 7 350 CPU, 32GB of RAM, and integrated AMD graphics."
"First off, usually Tuxedo Computers sends me their laptops with US keyboards. This time around, the keyboard was quite German, so my brain had to do a backflip and make sure my fingers found the right keys based on touch and memory. That was fun. Physically, the keyboard feels great (take that, MacBook). The trackpad is nice and slick, and everything just worked."
"Tuxedo OS uses the KDE Plasma desktop environment, and it looks and performs in spectacular fashion. Thanks to the powerful CPU and more than enough RAM, I could enable all the desktop effects I wanted without hindering performance. Yes, I did switch from the dark theme that was enabled by default (opting for the WhiteSur-Alt theme, which is very MacOS-like). Once I did that, I was pleased with the way the desktop looked."
The Infinity Pro Gen 10 features a 16-core AMD AI 7 350 CPU, 32GB of RAM, and integrated AMD graphics, providing ample power for demanding tasks. The laptop ships with a German keyboard on this unit, offering a comfortable typing experience and a slick, responsive trackpad. The chassis presents a conventional, understated build but reveals strong capabilities at boot and in daily use. Tuxedo OS runs KDE Plasma, enabling rich desktop effects without performance loss thanks to the CPU and RAM. A local AI test used Alpaca and the Qwen 2.5 coder LLM to generate a Python script that accepts user input and writes it to a file.
