[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 design and robust plastic housing of the TUXEDO Book BX1506 is particularly torsion-resistant. Thanks to its lightly rubberized surface, it feels very comfortable and does not slip out of hand even during frequent transport.
The plugged-in battery ensures stress-free energy supply even when on the move - a spare battery can be ordered.
After removing the bottom of the housing, all components are easy to maintain or replace.
Many typists will love the illuminated keyboard. It has a clear keystroke and enough key stroke to keep the tipper in a good mood even for longer typing orgies. In addition, the German version has a penguin super key ;)
The 15.6 inch large screen is like all TUXEDO Books matt / antireflective and can display a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, this corresponds Full-HD!
Compared to conventional notebooks, the BX1506 can be equipped with Intel T-Series desktop processors! Thus with up to an Intel Core i7 T quad-core processor and 16 GB of memory.
The standard DVD burner can be exchanged for a Blu-ray burner on request.
With the hard disk on the fast SATA3 port, you can either choose a classic 2.5 "hard disk in HDD form or an SSD. In addition, you can also choose a SSD in M. 2 form. If this is not enough, it is possible to replace the DVD writer with another hard disk and add another HDD or SSD as third hard disk here, too!
You can provide the necessary network connections via WLAN, Bluetooth or via cable-based Gigabit-LAN. In addition, you can also add an UMTS or 4G/LTE modem. Also the other features leave nothing to be desired: 2 MP HD Webcam incl. micro, 3x USB3.0 and 1x USB2.0, HDMI, VGA D-Sub, Card-Reader, ExpressCard-Slot, fingerprint scanner und
Compared to almost all other notebooks, the TUXEDO Book BX1506 offers an docking port as a special feature. Using the separately available Dockingstation you can not only recharge the TUXEDO Book, but also hard wire your stationary monitors, printers, hard disks and other devices and do not have to connect everything anew every time. Simply insert the TUXEDO Book BX1506 into the docking station and all peripherals are already connected!
You can also choose an external monitor for the accessories, so you can enjoy dual monitoring together with your notebook.
In addition, we can also supply you with a wired or wireless keyboard including mouse. These sets are from Logitech.

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.

Cooling System & Fan
Temperature controlled fan
At low system workload, there is less heat emerging. The cooling system fans can spin accordingly slow or even turn themselves off completely. Depending on the chassis, cooling system and CPU and GPU, high to very high fan noise (air swooshing) is produced under full load. Thinner notebooks normally tend to get louder due to less cooling capacity.
Custom performance and fan control with the TUXEDO Control Center
With the TUXEDO Control Center you are able to control the performance and the behavior of the fans by yourself. This means that you get the ability to make your device as quiet as possible. By heavily reducing the performance you are able to set the device almost passive cooled, without any fan noise most of the time!
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!
