Notebook Check ☛ Fast AMD processor, up to 128 GB RAM and Linux - The InfinityBook Pro 14 leaves a good impression in our review
While many ultrabooks use soldered RAM and only offer a limited number of ports, the InfinityBook Pro 14 from Tuxedo is the complete opposite. It is easy to upgrade the memory, you can install two full-size SSDs and there are plenty of ports including Ethernet.
Compact 14-inch laptops usually have to make some compromises, like soldered memory or a limited number of ports. The Tuxedo InfinityBook Pro 14 Gen10 as well as the Windows counterpart XMG Evo 14 (M25) share a different approach. AMD's Zen 5 processors can be combined with up to 128 GB via two SO-DIMM slots. Our review unit was equipped with the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and the Radeon 890M, which offer good and stable performance figures. The fastest power profile is quite audible under load, but the other two profiles are noticeably quieter and still offer decent performance.
The port selection is also much bigger compared to many rivals, because a total of five USB ports is supported by HDMI, Gigabit-Ethernet, and a very fast card reader. However, one of the USB-A ports only supports the outdated 2.0 standard, which is just not justifiable in 2025. For all your storage needs, there are two full-size M.2-2280 slots, so you could install up to 16 TB of SSD storage.

This open-source operating system receives a steady stream of updates, with the most recent versions of Ubuntu being fairly simple to use. However, before you dive into using Linux on its own, you can install Linux on Windows PCs for a dual boot as a way to test it out. After all, it’s completely free to begin with.

The Register UK ☛ 30 years later, Doom returns to SNES with Raspberry Pi RP2350 muscle
Forget Windows 95, it's 30 years since Doom was released on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. And thanks to the Raspberry Pi RP2350 microcontroller, the game is back in cartridge form.
Doom on the SNES was a programming tour de force that arguably kicked off the "But can it run Doom?" meme. The first-person shooter, with its atmospheric soundtrack and 3D graphics, had taken the world by storm after its release in 1993. It was ported to many platforms, but squeezing it onto an SNES cartridge was a challenge.
