    Infinix is a child company of Transsion Holdings from China, the brands Infinix, Tecno, and itel come from them and they all make phones that are extremely popular in Asian and African budget gadget markets. TH also owns the accessories company Oraimo iirc. I'm from Nigeria and my phone is actually a Tecno one. This is their first laptop as far as I know, and if I know anything about them, they wouldn't be making the most balls to the wall system on the market by any stretch of the imagination.
    Palmstore is an app that comes preinstalled on every TH phone, so I'm sure they made it too btw
    Edit: I'm sure they're planning to break into the western market next, if they approached you guys

    This is literally a Huawei Matebook 16 chassis. Keyboard, trackpad, power button, speakers, airflow grids placements (under & behind hinge), the screen black contour with same logo placement. Except for the custom backscreen and the side ports it feels like a rebrand (Edit: or maybe same chassis manufacturer). Another difference is the screen is 16:9 instead of 3:2 on matebook that mean they have the webcam above the screen instead of IN the keyboard.

      The Tuxedo Pulse 15 Gen 2 has a Ryzen 5700U and a 91Wh battery that should easily do 10h+ of light usage on battery. Tuxedo also has an InfinityBook Pro 14 Gen 7 w/ an i7-12700H w/ a 99Wh battery (the Schenker Vision 14 and Slimbook Executive 14 are basically the same laptop). It's possible to have decent battery life w/ Intel if you tweak with power limiting (eg, lowering power limits, adjusting EPP), but in general, recent Ryzen mobile chips tend to be a lot more power efficient.
