The new TUXEDO InfinityBook Max 15 starts at €1,689, offering Ryzen AI 9 power, RTX graphics, and full Linux support in an aluminum chassis weighing 1.95 kg.

German Linux hardware manufacturer TUXEDO has announced the launch of its new InfinityBook Max 15, a 15.3-inch business ultrabook that blurs the line between professional workstation and gaming laptop.

Despite its thin, all-metal aluminium chassis and weight of just 1.95 kg, the InfinityBook Max 15 delivers serious computing power. It is powered by the AMD Ryzen AI 300 series of processors, including the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (12 cores) and Ryzen AI 9 365 (10 cores), as well as the entry-level Ryzen AI 7 350 (8 cores).

    Framework, but their laptops are also about twice as expensive as equivalent models from other brands.

    Eh, I just ran some comparisons and Framework is only about $100 more than the cheapest equivalent in another brand with the same CPU/Memory. $200 more with Windows.

      Not sure how you’re arriving at that low of a difference unless the US pricing is wildly better than in the EU.

      If I follow the most obvious user flow on the Framework website (except for removing components that aren’t required) then I end up with a preorder for a Framework 16 with a Ryzen AI 7 350, 8 GB of RAM and no storage for 1,724 €. I can get the same CPU in a Gigabyte Aero X16 with the same CPU and 32GB RAM and storage and an RTX 5060 on top for 1,129 €. If I try to configure the Framework to be actually competitive with that model I end up at 2,384 €. It’s not just the Ryzen AI model that’s like this either, I did the same comparison with an older Ryzen CPU and it was in the same ballpark.

      I’m sure the Framework is nicer in many aspects that don’t show up on data sheets like chassis finish and build quality (and of course Linux support) but that’s a lot of money.
