- TUXEDO INFINITBOOK PRO 14 Gen10 sets a new bar to Linux Power
- Cheaper Windows -Arable computers can offer Linux Dual Boot without the Tuxedo price
- Ryzen AI 300 Chips brings severe speed but also drives the cost up
Do you want the fastest Linux machine out there, or something more affordable that is still running open source software smooth?
Tuxedo’s new Infinitebook Pro 14 Gen10 could be one of the fastest Linux -Bearing computers available today, but it comes at a price that is honestly difficult to justify unless Raw Power is your first priority.
The laptop has AMD’s new Ryzen AI 300 series processors. Buyers can choose between Ryzen AI 7 350 with 8 kernels and 16 threads, Ryzen AI 9 365 with 10 cores and 20 threads or Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 with 12 cores and 24 threads.
Achievement, portability and polishing
AI 9 365 delivers about 10 percent better multicore performance compared to AI 7 350. AI 9 HX 370 goes on with up to 20 percent more performance and about 40 percent faster than last year’s Infinitebook Pro Gen9.
The new model comes with a 3K screen reaching 500 nits of brightness. The aluminum body keeps the weight of only 1.45 kg.
It is packed with settings, such as double upgradable RAM and SSD slots, and a rare choice of full port including USB4, HDMI 2.1 and even Ethernet.
The life of the battery is also decent, with an 80WH device that promises about 9 hours of web use.
On paper, it’s all Linux Power users want: Performance, Portability and Polish.
But on over € 1,000 ($ 1,152) for the Entry-Level version (Ryzen AI 350, 2x 8 GB 5600MHz DDR5 RAM, a 500 GB Samsung 980 SSD) for users outside Europe and more than € 1,200 for users in Europe, pushing the price this machine out of range for many typical users.
While some advanced Linux laptops have similar price tags, users can often find better value by buying a comparable Windows machine at a lower price.
There is nothing that prevents you from drying the drive and installing Linux yourself, or creating a double-boot system to keep both operating systems available.
Where Tuxedo Excel is its deep Linux integration. Tuxedo OS is pre-installed and their hardware vessels with everything tested and configured.
Infinitebook Pro 14 Gen10 is definitely slim, powerful and thoughtful built for Linux, but unless you really need the performance or flexibility, there are cheaper opportunities that still do the job well.
