TUXEDO Pulse 14 – Our highly efficient athlete - TUXEDO Computers

Great power efficiency and performance in an ultra portable form factor: The new TUXEDO Pulse 14 combines energy saving operation with a lot of processing power, above-average quiet cooling for more concentrated working, a 3K display (100% sRGB) and integrates all this in a 1.4 kg light and 1.8 cm thin partial aluminum (display lid and bottom panel) ultrabook chassis.

Ryzen 7 7840HS: Great power efficiency and performance for ultra portable laptops

With 8 cores and 16 threads, the AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS seems to be inferior to the competition from Intel on paper, but thanks to its modern manufacturing process in 4 nm, it can boast with a great energy efficiency, which provides performance levels on par with the 14-core competitor Core i7-13700H and qualifies it as an excellent choice for ultra portable laptops with high performance demands.

In addition to the budget-friendly price and its outstandingly low power consumption on low loads, which empowers the internally screwed 60 Wh battery to reach up to 11 hours on local video playback, the Zen 4 CPU achieves improved performance-per-watt compared to the previous generation (Zen 3+ / 6 nm) with around 13% better single-core and 17% faster multicore performance than the smaller Ryzen 7 7735HS or the popular last-gen Ryzen 7 6800H.

For graphics rendering and even some light gaming the Ryzen 7 7840HS integrates the Radeon 780M graphics unit with 12 GPU cores and clock speeds of up to 2700 MHz.

Highly efficient and blazingly fast: 32 GB LPDDR5-6400 RAM!

As first TUXEDO ever, the Pulse 14 - Gen3 features highly efficient Low-Power DDR5 memory for optimal low power consumption and performance, which especially boosts the integrated Radeon 780M graphics.

Just like the CPU, the LPDDR RAM is also soldered on the motherboard for best possible efficiency due to shorter signal paths and the elimination of electrical resistances caused by conventional SODIMM connectors. Thus, the low voltage working memory impresses with a higher speed of up to 6400 Mbps on the one hand and very low low-load and idle power consumption on the other.

The TUXEDO Pulse 14 is permanently configured with 32 GB LPDDR5 memory in order to offer a future-proof memory configuration balanced with the Linux ultrabook’s overall performance class and typical usage profile.

Above-average cooling for quiet fans under load

Performance always depends on the laptop’s cooling quality: While many ultra thin competitors cut costs with single-fan cooling and 1 or 2 heatpipes, the TUXEDO Pulse 14 focuses on performant and quiet cooling.

In order to sustain the Ryzen 7 7840HS’s full TDP power limit of 54 watts while at the same time delivering above-average quiet fan noise, the Linux ultrabook features two relatively big 45 mm fans and 3 heatpipes, which effectively push the hot air out of the chassis.

High-resolution 3K display with 100% sRGB and 120 Hz

For razor-sharp image quality, the TUXEDO Pulse 14 is equipped with a 14-inch LPTS display with a resolution of 2880 x 1800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of 243 ppi.

Together with full sRGB color space coverage, the panel is greatly suited for semi-professional photo editing and multimedia use, while the refresh rate of 120 Hz (alternatively: 60 Hz) ensures butter smooth animations.

Up to 2x 4 TB SSD storage, USB-C charging, 2x DisplayPort 1.4 and 4x USB

To meet the wishes of many of our customers, the TUXEDO Pulse 14 relies solely on the Power Delivery DC-In standard using an optionally available 100 watt USB-C power supply. Optional because it can be deselected during the ordering process to save costs if the customer already has a suitable USB-C charger (min. 20V / 5A).

The laptop can be powered over both USB-C 3.2 Gen2×1 ports, which also support DisplayPort 1.4 for connecting two monitors natively. Together with the HDMI 2.0 port the Pulse 14 allows to drive up to 3 external screens. The ports selection is completed by 2x USB-A 3.2 Gen1, a microSD card reader and the combined 2-in-1 audio jack.

Pre-orders starting November 11th. Shipping starting mid of December.

The TUXEDO Pulse 14 will be available for pre-order from November 11th for an entry-level price of around 934 EUR (excl. VAT) with AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS, 32 GB LPDDR5-6400-RAM and 1x 500 GB Samsung PCIe 4.0 SSD. First deliveries are going to start in mid of December 2023.

Like all TUXEDO notebooks, the Pulse 14 ships with full Linux support including Linux-trained customer support, pre-installation of all drivers and in-house developed software packages, cloud-based services and with the in-house Linux distribution TUXEDO OS (alternatively: Ubuntu 22.04, Kubuntu 22.04 or Ubuntu Budgie 22.04) (optionally with full hard disk encryption) and on request also with Windows 11.
