They have cheaper devices, starting at ~850€, but I agree they are a bit expensive over all. They can't really compete with the big players out there, as their volumes are rather small.
Sadly this is the same with framework laptops or fairphone's devices as well. They are great products, but their price to value ratio is way worse than these big companies.
Luckily if I need devices that these companies produce, I will definitely buy from them.
Damn, finally! A gaming laptop with AMD graphics :D it looks overall well specced too
Sadly I'm not in the market cause I bought a gaming laptop with Nvidia 2 years ago, and it's still way too good to justify replacing. Too bad laptops with AMD graphics were made of Unobtainium until now
It's great to see more full-AMD hardware from TUXEDO. I'm currently using their Aura 15 Gen2, and my only complaint is about the fingerprint sensor - which isn't even really a TUXEDO issue as they have written and submitted a patch upstream for libfprint which makes it work. (And since I'm using Gentoo I've just dropped that patch into my local portage tree until upstream merges it)
They're definitely not the cheapest computer vendor, but their quality is good and their support is great. No odd boot behaviors, ACPI errors, random device disappearances, etc, like I've had with other non-Linux-first vendors.
Great! It's good to see they are also contributing upstream!
If you're not rich or willing enough to contribute to this, the ASUS TUF Advantage (2023) is a very similar all-AMD gaming laptop, a good fit for Linux, at roughly half the price on sale.
I've been using it for a few months now.
Zen3+ cores instead of Zen4 but 32GB RAM and an RX7600S, but with only 1920x1200 pixels at 165 Hz, instead of 1440p.
Just make sure to install a distro with a recent kernel version:
Pop!_OS (best "just works" distro with recent kernel)
Fedora 39+ or derivative (such as Nobara)
Archlinux or a derivative like EndeavourOS or Garuda
Linux Mint will not work out of the box so if you insist on Linux Mint, you will have to install a newer kernel yourself.
It's good but not strictly necessary to install asusctl and supergfxctl on it for stuff like limiting battery charge to 80% and turning off the dGPU when working away from wall power.
Sorry, a BMW i3? Parking one street over? Feels like it would be a bit difficult to tell what company it's from but even then it's not that expensive of a car. It's even discontinued now.
You know that you can put stickers on cars, right? Like, say, a sticker with the Tuxedo computer logo and the word Tuxedo in large letters? Like... All over both sides of the car. Because that's what this car has, you know?
Wjat dies the price or the car's production state to do with anything?
I get the feeling that you are not answering to a very warped version of what I said.
For a gaming laptop it lacks sex appeal. I'm not asking for rgb keyboard, but maybe something that doesn't look like an office issued accounting computer.
I'm with you. I was in the market for a new laptop earlier this year and it was surprisingly hard to find something that didn't look like it was designed by and for a bunch of teenagers. Not that there's anything wrong with that if that's what you enjoy, but it's thoroughly not my style.
I think that's a feature. I find "gaming" laptops with all the red stripes, rgb, stupid angles everywhere, etc. to look very cringe.
If anything it incentivizes people to buy a separate "work" laptop (for those who might need to buy one themselves) because you can't show up with that thing at a professional meeting or something like that because it looks ridiculous, juvenile, and in bad taste.
This looks suspiciously similar to my all-AMD Lenovo Legion 7. Granted, mine has a Radeon RX 6700 but running Linux on it and gaming have been a breeze. I would definitely have considered this as an option if it had been available when I was looking. I could do without the goofy RGB lighting that came with the legion.
