[B]usiness Series notebooks have energy-saving Intel HD graphics and can be equipped with powerful processors, plenty of memory and large hard drives. Ideal for daily work and professional use.
The shapely and robust plastic chassis of the TUXEDO Book BX1510 is particularly rigid. Thanks to its slightly rubberized surface, it feels very pleasant to the touch and therefore does not slip out of your hand, even if you transport it frequently.
The inserted battery ensures stress-free energy supply even when you are on the move - a replacement battery can be ordered in addition.
After removing the underside of the chassis, all components are easy to service or replace.
Especially frequent typers will love the illuminated keyboard. It has a clear keystroke and enough keystroke to keep the typer in good spirits even during long "orgies of typing". In addition, the German version has a penguin super button ;)
The TUXEDO Book BX1510 as a device of the [B]usiness series features energy-saving and therefore battery-saving Intel UHD 630 graphics, which increases the battery life to up to 6 hours despite the strong processors.
As with all TUXEDO Books, the 15.6 inch screen is matt / non-glare and can display a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, which corresponds to Full HD! It can be folded back 180°.
As a special feature, the BX1510 can be equipped with Intel desktop processors of the T series compared to the usual notebooks! Thus with up to Intel Core i7 T Six-Core processor and 64 GB RAM.
The standard DVD burner can be replaced with a Blu-Ray burner on request.
For the hard drive on the fast SATA3 port, you can choose either a classic 2.5" HDD hard drive or an SSD. You can also opt for an M.2 SSD. If that's not enough, you can replace the DVD burner with another hard drive and install an HDD or SSD as a third hard drive!
You can provide the necessary network connections via WLAN, Bluetooth or wired Gigabit LAN. In addition, you can also install a UMTS or LTE modem. The other features also leave nothing to be desired: 1 MP HD webcam incl. microphone, USB3.0 and USB2.0, HDMI, VGA D-Sub, MiniDisplayPort, Thunderbolt 3, card reader, smart card reader, one connection each for microphone and headphones, and much more.
The TUXEDO Book BX1510 offers a docking port as a special feature compared to almost all other notebooks. The separately available docking station not only allows you to charge the TUXEDO Book, but also to firmly wire up your stationary monitors, printers, hard disks and other devices without having to reconnect everything every time. Simply insert the TUXEDO Book BX1510 into the docking station and all peripherals are connected!

3x USB 2.0 ports
4x USB 3.0 ports (1x powered USB port)

Display / Monitor
Modern displays with IPS panels have bright areas along the frame as a normal characteristic. This has hardly any influence on everyday operation, not least because the displays are optimized for daylight operation. It can only be minimized, but not completely avoided, regardless of the manufacturer and for manufacturing reasons. Details on pixel error classes can be found here.

Battery & power supply
Large 62,16 Wh battery, 6 cells Lithium-Ionen
90 Wh power supply
Plugged in from the outside, easy to remove without opening the notebook!
Approx. 8 hours battery life in everyday office life with medium display brightness
Up to 15 h in idle test.
We're testing battery time always in idle mode, at minimal display brightness, with keyboard backlight deactivated, Wi-Fi & Bluetooth disabled and without any further connected devices (USB, LAN, HDMI, VGA etc. unplugged!). We always test with integrated graphics when a dedicated and integrated graphics chip is installed.
This way you get an information of maximal possible battery life. Starting from this, you can manage your individual battery life depending on your demands and to influence it, e.g. is keyboard backlight unnecessary during daylight. Bluetooth is also only needed to be turned on, if there's a Bluetooth device connected. Full display brightness as well is hardly always necessary.
Lifetime of batteries
The operation of all TUXEDO Books is also possible without battery. Users are often advised to remove the battery during permanent mains operation in order to conserve it. Thanks to FlexiCharger this is not necessary. Further Information

Operating systems
We install Ubuntu and TUXEDO OS (based on Ubuntu with KDE Plasma Desktop) in the latest 64-bit version with long term support.
With our fully automatic installation WebFAI you can easily perform a Linux installation exactly as we at TUXEDO Computers do it in our production! You can choose from all distributions that we also offer in our configurator. Depending on the distribution, you have the choice between different desktop interfaces. More backgrounds and a video demo as well as detailed instructions can be found here.
For "self-installers" and all who are interested, we have set up a database with downloads, instructions, tips & tricks and offer Tomte, a tool that automatically makes our adjustments under Ubuntu, elementary OS and Linux Mint:
Encrypted Installation
On request, we install your Linux system completely encrypted. The pre-installation as dual boot with Windows is technically not possible.
Further details as well as a detailed introduction to encryption can be found here.
Windows on request
If you don't want or can't do without Windows, we install the desired Windows version next to Linux or alone. Please understand that a dual-boot installation can take 1-2 working days longer, even though the process is fully automatic. Please also note that we provide you with a correct Windows license incl. license sticker and installation DVD!
Windows Drivers
The corresponding Windows drivers are already included as standard with every device, regardless of whether it is with or without Windows or operating system installation. Alternatively, you are free to download all Windows-Drivers from here.
Warranty
2 years pick up and return (12 months on wearing parts like battery & power supply)
Optional: Up to 5 years pick up and return (12 months on wearing parts like battery & power supply)
All devices have a maintenance-friendly design.

Noise growth / Cooling / Ventilation / Fan
Temperature controlled silent fan
At low system workload/stress there is less heat emerging. The cooling system fans have to spin accordingly fast or slow or even turn themselves off completely. But the device doesn't produce any disturbing noises even at full load, no high frequency sounds or clatter, just air swooshing.
Custom fan control with the TUXEDO Control Center
With the TUXEDO Control Center you are able to control the behavior of the fans at yourself. This means that you get the ability to make your device as silent as possible. You are able to set the device almost passive cooled, without any fan noise most of the time!
We are personally there for you Monday to Friday from 9 am to 1 pm and from 2 pm to 5 pm (German time). But also outside these times you can contact our team with your request by e-mail. Please include your customer number, the model name of your laptop or PC and as detailed a description of your request as possible. The more details you give us, the faster we can process your request!
