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).

Aren't these just white labeled Chinese brands?

I'm pretty sure the individual componentens come from China... But good luck finding any electronic manufacturer that doesn't use Chinese components. Don't know what classifies as white labeled for you.

I really don't understand why so many people are confused about Chinese brands vs. "Made in China".

"White labeled" means they take an existing product that's already being sold and do nothing but slap their branding on it and sell it in a different store.

They do develop Linux drivers for the laptops they sell, so they're not adding literally zero value. Though they also tried to prevent upstreaming with an incompatible (illegal) license so there's that...

Oh I mean I'm maining Pop OS Beta right now (it's awesome!) so I know the value they're giving there, if nowhere else. But I would rather just make a donation than buy a generic laptop...

We should call it Brand Slapping
