Cool, but $1699 Euros seems a bit much, no? ~$1800 US
They have cheaper devices, starting at ~850€, but I agree they are a bit expensive over all. They can’t really compete with the big players out there, as their volumes are rather small.
Sadly this is the same with framework laptops or fairphone’s devices as well. They are great products, but their price to value ratio is way worse than these big companies.
Luckily if I need devices that these companies produce, I will definitely buy from them.
Tuxedo computers are just a few minutes away from my place. There is a BMW i3 from them parking one street over.
I’d love.to support them but they are just so pricey.
You know that you can put stickers on cars, right? Like, say, a sticker with the Tuxedo computer logo and the word Tuxedo in large letters? Like… All over both sides of the car. Because that’s what this car has, you know?
Wjat dies the price or the car’s production state to do with anything?
I get the feeling that you are not answering to a very warped version of what I said.
It’s great to see more full-AMD hardware from TUXEDO. I’m currently using their Aura 15 Gen2, and my only complaint is about the fingerprint sensor - which isn’t even really a TUXEDO issue as they have written and submitted a patch upstream for libfprint which makes it work. (And since I’m using Gentoo I’ve just dropped that patch into my local portage tree until upstream merges it)
They’re definitely not the cheapest computer vendor, but their quality is good and their support is great. No odd boot behaviors, ACPI errors, random device disappearances, etc, like I’ve had with other non-Linux-first vendors.
Looking at the specs sheet, this stood out:
Fingerprint reader (Windows-only)
In general, or for this particular reader? The Framework fingerprint reader works well.
Tuxedo Laptops are great! I have one. The very best Linux laptops out there!
