[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 shapely and sturdy plastic housing of the TUXEDO Book BU1407 is particularly rigid due to its special curved design and the double edges. 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.
A lot of typists will love the keyboard. It has a clear keystroke and enough key stroke to keep the writer in a good mood even at longer "writing orgies" :D
The TUXEDO Book BU1407 is a device of the [B]business series, featuring energy-saving and thus battery-friendly Intel UHD 620 graphics and Intel's Ultrabook processors, thus increasing the battery runtime. Moreover, it is very thin what makes it the ideal companion and chic tool.
The 14 inch large screen is as with all TUXEDO Books matte / non-glare. 
To make sure that the display on the great screen runs smoothly, you can choose from most modern Intel Core-i processors up to Intel Core i7 Quad-Core. The more powerful the processor, the faster programs run and the more you can push the purchase of a new notebook into the future. Because with time the system requirements of new and current programs increase more and more.
For the hard disk drive you can choose an HDD or SSD. In addition, the TUXEDO Book BU1407 has a M. 2 slot in which you can install special M. 2 SSDs. If you decide to use an M. 2-SSD, we will naturally install the operating system on this particularly fast storage medium. The further hard disk will then serve as a "data slave".
You can provide the necessary network connections via WLAN in ac/a/b/g/n speed, Bluetooth or via cable-bonded Gigabit-LAN.
The other features leave nothing to be desired: 2,0 MP Webcam incl. Micro, USB3.1 Type-C Gen2, USB3.0 and USB2.0, HDMI, VGA D-Sub, Card-Reader and of course ports for microphone and headphones.
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.
Type: LED backlight display, matte/non-mirror/non-glare
Size: 14" (35,56cm)
Resolution: Full-HD IPS-Panel, 1920 x 1080
Model: LG LP140WF1-SPK1
Chassis
Dimensions: width: 34,0cm; height: 2,2cm; depth: 22,3cm
Weight: approx. 1.6 kg without battery, approx. 1.8 with battery (depending on equipment!)
Battery & power supply
Large 44 Wh battery, 4 cells lithium-ion, exchangeable, normally plugged in from outside.
Mini power supply unit, only 88x35x26mm (LxWxH), 100g or 200g with all cables
Battery life: (With our optimization measures!)
Approx. 12 hours with min. brightness at idle speed
Approx. 7 hours at normal brightness, with WLAN enabled, under working conditions
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.
Lifetime of batteries
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

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.
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
