X like [X]treme and eXtrem is the performance of the X-Series devices!
Xtreme Series devices are aimed at customers who simply want the strongest and best the hardware market has to offer! The strongest graphics paired with the most memory, multiple hard drives and of course the fastest processors!
The totally new developed XC17 sets new standards in performance, workmanship and coolingperformance! The case with aluminium-cover and -handrest with 29,9mm height offers enough space to fullfill the highest cooling demand, without being bulky at all!
In addition to Intels Eight-Core i7 CPU, it can be equipped with up to NVIDIAs GeForce RTX 2070 Super graphics chip with 8 GB of own GDDR6 video memory, M.2 SSDs, 2.5" HDD or SSD and up to 64 GB RAM.
The matte 17,3 inch IPS screen resolves Full-HD with 1920 x 1080 pixels.
They are also well prepared for any application on the connection side:
Beside the three classic USB type-A connections, there is also an USB-C available that also includes Thunderbolt 3 speed!
External screens can be connected via Mini-DisplayPorts and HDMI 2.0 and USB-C to DisplayPort in up to 4k resolution! Of course, this is also possible in parallel operation with three external screens, plus notebook display! (Or even more by DaisyChaining.)
Additoinally there are also the obligatory connections and features such as a webcam incl. micro, headphone and microphone connections, card reader, a real LAN port, and a 2-in-1 audio port.
Tip: SSDs bring an enormous performance boost! There are many design possibilities here. You can either replace the normal hard disk with an SSD or use an additional hard disk that is plugged into the free M.2 slot. Thus you have then the speed advantages of SSDs with the low-priced space offer of HDDs combined and have two hard disks!
A multicolor illuminated backlit keyboard with penguin super-key and a Precision Glass-Touchpad with multi-gesture- & scrolling-function incl. two mouse-buttons let you work smoothly everytime with your XC17.
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.

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
Battery runtime
Battery life approx. 6 hours with min. brightness in idle mode
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.

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.
UEFI firmware
With all our notebooks, you have the possibility to protect your privacy already on firmware level using the UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface).
For this purpose, the following functions can be completely deactivated:
- On Intel CPUs: Intel Management Engine (IntelME)
- Webcam
- On Intel CPUs: Audio (Microphone & Sound)
- WLAN & Bluetooth
In addition, our Premium UEFI firmware allows chipset-specific settings and definitions for hardware components in order to run adjust the device optimally to your use case.
Please note: All notebooks built in 2021 and later do not support switching the UEFI firmware to the outdated BIOS firmware standard.
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
