X like [X]treme and eXtrem is the performance of the X-series devices actually! Xtreme series devices are aimed at customers who simply want to have the strongest and best that the hardware market has to offer! The strongest graphics paired with the most memory, multiple hard drives and of course the fastest processors!
The TUXEDO Book XC1507, which was completely redesigned from scratch, was adapted to the wishes of our customers and equipped with a metal housing . The newly developed heat dissipation system has two fans for the graphics card and a separate fan for the processor, which ensures sufficient cooling even at full load.
In addition, we have placed great emphasis on workmanship and stability. Nevertheless, the device convinces with its slim design of only 2,5cm (with GTX 1070 graphics card 2,9cm) and the low weight of only 2,5kg on the whole line.
The TUXEDO Book XC1507 can be equipped with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 or GTX 1060! Thus even the most demanding games are no problem at all and shine in full splendour on 15,6" IPS-Display!
In addition, it can be loaded with up to 64GB of DDR4 memory and has Intel's fastest Intel Core i7 quad-core processor!
Expensive applications and games take up a lot of space, so the device has two SATA3 slots for two HDD or SSD hard disks and two M. 2 ports for two additional M. 2-SSDs or one M. 2-SSDs port.
So that you always find the right connection, USB3.1 Typ-C Gen2, USB3.0, HDMI, two mini display ports, Gigabit-LAN, WLAN, Bluetooth 4.0 and a multi-card reader are at your disposal.
Good sound quality is also ensured thanks to the sound system Onkyo 2.0 and SOUND BLASTER® X-FI® MB5. Thanks to a Fingerprint-Scanner you don't have to type in your password all the time, you can do authorizations with a simple finger swipe.
The backlit keyboard also makes typing even more comfortable. The white lighting can be regulated in six stages. The entire keyboard background is illuminated, and the individual letters of the keys also light up. A clear pressure point distinguishes this keyboard from models with spongy keys and ensures a positive typing feel even with multi-writers
By default, 8 GB DDR4 memory is already built in, but upgrading to up to 64 GB in dual-channel mode is no problem thanks to the four RAM slots!
A harddisk with 500 GB comes in the basic configuration and can be upgraded to up to two HDDs or SSDs. For those who are still not satisfied, you can choose up to two more M. 2-SSD hard disks!
Whom the graphics power the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 is not enough can still upgrade to the GTX 1070.
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.

With GTX 1070: 385 x 271 x 29 mm
Weight: 2,5 kg incl. battery
After opening the base plate, the components & heatsink can be cleaned without loss of warranty.
Note: For thermal reasons, a plastic base plate is used when using the GTX 1070. This increases the height by 4mm to 2.9cm.
Battery & power supply
4-cell lithium-ion battery, 60 Wh
To change the battery, the base plate must be removed. It can then be easily removed and replaced with just two screws. It's not glued.

Dual channel mode (with at least 2 modules)
Current Laptop-U-CPUs do support only 2400MHz RAM officially. So even 2666MHz RAM is shown with 2400MHz inside the system. But in fact, the high-performance-RAM with 2666MHz squeezes around 5% more performance out of your laptop!
Hard drive
Hard drives:
Hard drive: Default 2,5" HDD or SSD
Hard drive 2: Default 2,5" HDD or SSD
Both hard disk slots can also be operated as RAID 0/1 regardless of the configuration.
In the second hard disk slot, only hard disks with a height of 7mm can be installed. For this reason, the selection there is limited compared to the first hard disk.
Mass storage (SSD / HDD)

Both M. 2 slots can also be operated as RAID 0/1 in SATA mode.
Alternatively, the second M. 2 SSD slot can also be used for a UMTS/LTE module.
If you select an NVMe or PCIe SSD in the first slot, the second slot is no longer usable! NVMe/PCIe SSDs already use all available data lines.

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.
Accessories
As accessories you can select an additional external display for enjoying dual display operating together with the laptop.
Furthermore we deliver a wired or wireless keyboard including a mouse or an additional wired mouse. These input devices are produced by Logitech and are only available with German layout!
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. Depending on the model, the essential hardware components such as processor, drive, hard disks, RAM, WIFI modules etc. can be accessed via maintenance flaps or removable floor trays. Furthermore the battery is replaceable if not stated differently. Of course, even after expiration of your warranty period, we're offering replacement parts and service for many years!
For warranty cases, we'll provide you with a free return label after getting in touch with us. Warranty handling is done via our technical support. Please note our warranty conditions

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!
