Tuxedo's InfinityBook 14 Pro pairs strong Linux performance with lightweight design

Tuxedo Computers' InfinityBook 14 Pro is a Linux-first 14-inch laptop that delivers strong performance in a compact, unassuming chassis. The base model starts at about $1,223 and the reviewed Gen10 configuration includes a 16-core AMD AI 7 350 CPU, 32GB of RAM and integrated AMD graphics.

The keyboard and trackpad offered a pleasant typing and navigation experience, though the review unit had a German key layout. Tuxedo OS runs KDE Plasma, which handled desktop effects smoothly thanks to the laptop's CPU and ample memory. In hands-on tests the InfinityBook completed local AI tasks quickly, including installing and running models such as Alpaca and Qwen 2.5 coder to generate Python code and a GUI.

App installation from KDE Discover was fast and preinstalled software includes LibreOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird and VLC. The Tuxedo Control Center centralizes system monitoring, power profiles, battery charging options and webcam settings. Adjusting power profiles can extend battery life for users who need longer runtime.

The 14-inch 3K (2880x1800) IPS display performed well, improving further when the KDE color setting was switched from "Prefer Efficiency" to "Prefer Accuracy." Battery life in testing was roughly six to eight hours on a charge with default settings.
