Outstanding energy efficiency and impressive computing power come together in the ultra-mobile design of the new TUXEDO Pulse 14. This notebook combines extremely economical operation with powerful processor performance, particularly low-noise cooling for concentrated work and a high-resolution 3K display (100% sRGB). All of this is integrated into a lightweight 1.4 kg aluminum housing (display lid and bottom shell) with a thickness of just 1.8 cm!
The Ryzen 7 7840HS, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, may seem inferior to the competition from Intel on paper. However, thanks to its state-of-the-art production in the 4 nm process, this processor impresses with its outstanding efficiency. This enables comparable performance values with the 14-core competitor Core i7-13700H and qualifies the AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS as a first-class choice for ultra-mobile notebooks with high performance requirements.
Here’s what the internet has to say about the TUXEDO Pulse 14 - Gen3.
Tests
Quote: Das Tuxedo Pulse 14 Gen3 ist ein hervorragend verarbeitetes Linux-Notebook mit einer leistungsstarken Zen-4-APU und einem besonders hochauflösenden 14”-Display, welches seine zu 100 Prozent zu Linux kompatible Hardware in ein 1,4 kg leichtes und 1,8 cm dünnes Teilaluminiumgehäuse edel verpackt. Die Gaming-Performance ist verglichen mit aktuellen Handheld-PCs durchschnittlich 20 bis 30 Prozent höher.
Translation: The Tuxedo Pulse 14 Gen3 is a superbly crafted Linux notebook with a powerful Zen 4 APU and a particularly high-resolution 14” display, which elegantly packs its 100% Linux-compatible hardware into a 1.4 kg light and 1.8 cm thin partial aluminum housing. The gaming performance is on average 20 to 30 percent higher compared to current handheld PCs.
Quote: Leistungsstark und kompakt. Mit dem Pulse 14 Gen3 bietet Tuxedo ein neues Subnotebook mit schnellem AMD Zen4-Prozessor und hochauflösenden 3K-IPS-Display mit 120 Hz. Zudem gibt es standardmäßig 32 GB RAM und viele Anschlüsse. Das perfekte Linux-Ultrabook also? Das neue Pulse 14 Gen3 kann sich eine sehr gute Bewertung von 89 % sichern.
Translation: Powerful and compact. With the Pulse 14 Gen3, Tuxedo offers a new subnotebook with a fast AMD Zen4 processor and a high-resolution 3K IPS display with 120 Hz. It also comes with 32 GB RAM and plenty of ports as standard. So the perfect Linux ultrabook? The new Pulse 14 Gen3 can secure a very good rating of 89%.
When taking the geometric mean of all the results completed on all 3 laptops, the Ryzen 7 7840HS within the TUXEDO Pulse 14 Gen 3 was around 4% faster than the very capable Ryzen 7 7840U. Not bad for a typically ~4 Watt or less increase to the SoC power consumption at least with the default configuration of the TUXEDO Pulse 14 Gen 3. The Ryzen 7 7840HS was 33% faster than the tested Intel Core Ultra 7 155H Meteor Lake processor within the Acer Swift Go 14.
The past two months I’ve been testing out the TUXEDO Pulse 14 Gen 3 laptop as a new AMD Ryzen laptop from this Bavarian Linux PC retailer. It’s been working out very well under Linux (as would be expected of TUXEDO Computers) and quite adaptable for power and performance. For those needing a capable Linux laptop the TUXEDO Pulse 14 Gen 3 has proven quite stable and reliable under both their in-house TUXEDO OS distribution as well as Ubuntu Linux.
Quote: Damit haben wir nicht gerechnet. Womit? Mit einer so beeindruckenden Grafikleistung in einem solchen kompakten Laptop-Format - und dazu noch ohne dedizierte Grafikkarte. Was die integrierte CPU/GPU-Kombination hier herausholt hat uns echt vom Hocker gerissen. Im Leistungsvergleich kann sie schon fast mit der dedizierten Gen1-NVIDIA der vorherigen Gaming-Laptop-Reihe Polaris 15 mithalten! Mit der Leistung eröffnet sich ein großes Potential an möglichen Spielen. Wer ein handliches Gerät sucht und ordentlich Ryzen-Power braucht, der ist hier goldrichtig.
Translation: We didn’t expect that. With what? With such impressive graphics performance in such a compact laptop format - and without a dedicated graphics card. The integrated CPU/GPU combination really blew us away. In a performance comparison, it can almost keep up with the dedicated Gen1 NVIDIA from the previous Polaris 15 gaming laptop series! The performance opens up a huge potential of possible games. If you are looking for a handy device and need plenty of Ryzen power, this is the right choice.

It’s nearly impossible to find any laptop that runs Linux out of the box, let alone a high-end notebook with Linux, but Tuxedo’s brand-new Pulse 14 Gen 3 changes that. Equipped with a Ryzen 7 7840HS, 32GB of LPDDR5-6400 RAM, and up to two SSDs, the Pulse 14 Gen 3 is likely the fastest Linux laptop today, though the field wasn’t exceptionally crowded.
In a market where the word “ultraportable” often means compromising on power, the Pulse 14 emerges as a welcome paradox. This latest offering from TUXEDO is not just another addition to the mobile workstation pantheon; it redefines efficiency and performance in a form factor that challenges the status quo.
The 60 Wh battery is said to provide up to 14 hours battery life with the brightness at its lowest setting, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned off, keyboard backlight off, and no apps running. This lowers to 9 hours with display at medium brightness and Wi-Fi on. TUXEDO add there’s ‘above-average quiet cooling’ to keep fan noise minimal under heavy loads.
TUXEDO Pulse 14 is one of TUXEDO Computers’ lightest Linux powerhouse laptops and the Gen3 model is powered by the 4nm AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS processors with 8 cores, 16 threads, 24 MB cache (L2+L3), 54 W TDP, and up to 5.1 GHz clock speed, as well as an AMD Radeon 780M integrated GPU with 12 cores and up to 2.7 GHz clock speed.

Quote: Die Komponenten sind in einem 1,4 kg leichten und 1,8 cm dünnen Teilaluminiumgehäuse untergebracht. Der Niedriglast-Stromverbrauch verhilft dem intern verschraubten 60-Wh-Akku bis zu 11 Stunden Laufzeit, etwa bei lokaler Videowiedergabe. Um die volle Prozessor-TDP von 54 Watt geräuscharm kühlen zu können, setzt das Pulse 14 Gen3 auf zwei 45-mm-Lüfter und 3 Heatpipes, die die Abwärme aus dem Inneren herausbefördern.
Translation: The components are housed in a 1.4 kg lightweight and 1.8 cm thin partial aluminum housing. The low-load power consumption helps the internally screwed 60 Wh battery to run for up to 11 hours, for example during local video playback. In order to cool the full processor TDP of 54 watts quietly, the Pulse 14 Gen3 relies on two 45 mm fans and 3 heat pipes to remove the waste heat from the interior.
Quote: Mit 8 Kernen und 16 Threads auf dem Papier der Konkurrenz von Intel vermeintlich unterlegen, kann der AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS dank seiner hochmodernen Fertigung in 4 nm mit einer sehr hohen Effizienz aufwarten, die ihm Leistungswerte auf Augenhöhe mit dem 14-Kern-Konkurrenten Core i7-13700H ermöglicht und ihn als hervorragende Wahl für ultra mobile Notebooks mit hohem Leistungsanspruch qualifiziert.
Translation: With 8 cores and 16 threads, the AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS is supposedly inferior to the competition from Intel on paper, but thanks to its state-of-the-art 4 nm production, it boasts very high efficiency, which puts it on a par with the 14-core competitor Core i7-13700H and qualifies it as an excellent choice for ultra-mobile notebooks with high performance requirements.
