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.

Lifetime of batteries
Users are often advised to remove the battery during permanent mains operation in order to conserve it. The operation of all TUXEDO Books is also possible without battery.
However, it is not necessary to detach the battery! With all our devices there is the point FlexiCharger in the BIOS in the Advanced Options under Advanced Chipset Control. If you activate the FlexiCharger, you can adjust the charging level from and up to when the battery should be charged. So e.g. start charging from 40% and charge up to 95%. Thus a continuous loading and unloading of the battery can be prevented and it is automatically spared.
Battery Life
Battery life approx. 5 hours with min. brightness in idle mode
We're testing battery time always in idle mode, at minimal display brightness, with keyboard backlight deactivated, WIFI & Bluetooth disabled and without any further connected devices (USB, LAN, HDMI, VGA etc. unplugged!).
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.

The following resolutions are possible over all connections individually or parallel:
1x Notebook display:
Full-HD 1920 x 1080
1x Mini-DisplayPort 1.4:
1080p@240Hz, 1440p@240Hz, 1600p@200Hz, 4K@120Hz, 5K@60Hz, 8K@60Hz (with DSC)
1x DisplayPort 1.4 through USB-C:
1080p@240Hz, 1440p@240Hz, 1600p@200Hz, 4K@120Hz, 5K@60Hz, 8K@60Hz (with DSC)
1x HDMI 2.0:
1080p@240Hz, 1440p@120Hz, 1600p@120Hz, 4K@60Hz
With these maximum resolutions, 4 displays can be controlled simultaneously, e.g. 1x notebook display and 3x external monitors. DaisyChaining also rows further displays together.

Cooling System & 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!
Model-ID: XA1510
Operating Systems
We install Ubuntu and TUXEDO_OS (based on Ubuntu with Budgie Desktop) in the latest 64-bit version.
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 advanced users and selected devices we also offer openSUSE 15 with Xfce, Gnome or KDE plasma. Of course fully configured and installed with all available updates and device drivers.
For "self-installers" and everyone who is interested, we have set up a database with downloads, instructions, tips & tricks and offer a customization script called "tuxedo.sh", which makes our customizations automatically under openSUSE and Ubuntu: Help & Support Section | tuxedo.sh
Encrypted Installation
On request we install your Linux system completely encrypted. The pre-installation as dualboot 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. 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 alle Windows-Drivers from here.
BIOS
With all our notebooks you have the possibility to protect your privacy already on BIOS level. For this purpose the following functions can be completely deactivated:
- Intel Management Engine (IntelME)
- Webcam
- Audio (Microphone & Sound)
- WLAN & Bluetooth
In addition, our Premium BIOS allows chipset-specific settings and definitions for components via various profiles in order to operate the device optimally depending on its use. The profiles can be found in the BIOS menu under:
Advanced > Advanced Chipset Control > Performance Profile Select.
Further information can be found here in our manual.
Warranty
