Just saying, they are not produced in Europe which is what this post is about. 99% of laptops are trash nowadays.

Starbooks get assembled in the UK.

Tuxedo is manufactured in Germany.

Slimbooks get finished assembling in Spain.

Tuxedo is manufactured in Germany.

Assembled, not manufactured. If you look closely, you'll notice that Tuxedo's InfinityBook and Slimbook's Evo have the same exact body.

They both source them from Taiwan.
