Are either of those brands designed with the same level of user serviceability in mind?
The main drive for framework is how easy they are to repair or mod along with their varying degrees of modularity (such as their swappable ports).
I just noticed this is the technology community and not the BuyEuropean community. So my comment doesn't make sense.
On the subject of those two anyway, I think Slimbook is just a Clevo reseller?
Not sure about Tuxedo
Both are.
However, and I'm not so familiar with Slimbook, but at least Tuxedo makes changes to the hardware they get from Clevo (or TongFeng?), to build what is ultimately a more premium product.
They also ship their own Linux distro that is optimised for the hardware they choose to put on their laptops and has a control panel that allows you to fine tune performance, battery, and so on.
You can check reviews of Tuxedo laptops. People are generally happy with what they get. I'm buying one before October this year before windows 10 drops all security patches. I'm already running linux out of a pendrive and happy with it.
