Compact 14-inch laptops often require certain sacrifices, such as fixed memory or limited port options. However, the Tuxedo InfinityBook Pro 14 Gen10 and its Windows equivalent, the XMG Evo 14 (M25), take a different route. These models utilize AMD’s Zen 5 processors and can support up to 128 GB through two SO-DIMM slots. The unit we reviewed came with the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and the Radeon 890M, providing solid and consistent performance. While the highest power setting can be rather loud when under stress, the other two modes are much quieter, yet still maintain decent output.
Extensive Port Selection
The choice of ports is significantly better than many competitors, featuring a total of five USB ports along with HDMI, Gigabit-Ethernet, and a very quick card reader. Nevertheless, one USB-A port is limited to the outdated 2.0 standard, which seems unreasonable in 2025. For storage, the laptop offers two full-size M.2-2280 slots, allowing for a possible 16 TB of SSD storage installation.
Pricing and Operating Systems
The InfinityBook Pro 14 with TuxedoOS starts at €1199, and other Linux distributions are also an option. Tuxedo consistently provides drivers for Windows, making it easy to set up a dual-boot system if desired. If Linux isn’t your thing, the XMG Evo 14 (M25) is a viable alternative, priced at €1149 (which includes Windows 11 Home) and comes with similar specifications.
