Do you guys think it is ok for a 1350€ laptop? Here is the link to the store page if you interested having a look.
Thank you for reading.
Have a tuxedo machine with TuxedoOS at work. I needed an NVIDIA card for cuda so I had a few kinks to iron out (NVIDIA I stg…) but the tuxedo customer support was here with me through it all, treated me with respect at all times and forwarded all issues to NVIDIA immediately, and they got fixed soon after. Solid team, sleek machines, nice distro.
Any time! Can’t say much about the robustness if the hardware though, as I tend to take stupidly good care of my machines.
Damn, is that a new model :D? Last time i looked there was no lightweight, amd, 15 Inches, big battery laptop
Edit: Im looking for a replacement of another 15 Inch Laptop from them. The display has an issue after it soaked full with coffee in a backpack. (Really not Tuxedo’s fault). I would prefer a framework, due to the easeness of repairs(display in my case), but they are too expensive for me and they dont have a Tux-Key on the keyboard, so i will probably buy that new Tuxedomodel :)
That model is a beast. I haven’t bought it yet, but i am sure i will (Steam Summer Sale) 😂
For what you get 1350€ is nothing, and they also give a 5 year warranty which is nice. The Display is perfect for media consumption, 10+ hours of battery life, the AMD CPU is a beast.
I have a tuxedo machine. Their support is great. The “pre installed os is bad” people have no idea what they are talking about. TuxedoOS is a Kubuntu slightly modified to include their branding (wallpapers, etc) and a couple of drivers, plus their tuxedo-center app (which you can remove if you want).
Nothing will stop you from installing any other os and if you want to come back to the original OS, you can use their WebFAI and reinstall the way they did it at the factory (or pick another os from the list).
Their hardware is fine, I have a system76 machine as well and they are comparable in every aspect, considering all of them use “generic” hardware.
I’d personally go for it if it works for you.
Good luck!
Haven’t looked recently but have a look at Laptops with Linux.
Got one. Works great. Whether it’s worth the money is yours to decide. Forget their distro (Tuxedo OS or whatever they call it), it works fine with vanilla Ubuntu and probably any other distro of your choice. Just download the ISO from the usual site and install from scratch.
