The German company Tuxedo brings that 15, 6-inch notebook InfinityBook S 15 with Intel’s Tiger Lake processors and pre-installed Linux operating system. Thanks to its compact dimensions, the model is quite light, and also provides a 73 -Watt-hour battery for a long runtime.

The heart of the InfinityBook S 15 optionally forms a Core i5 – 1135 G7 or Core i7 – 1165 G7 Intel’s 10 Nanometer Production. Both come with four CPU cores, but the i7 model has a higher clock rate, uses more level 3 cache and has a more powerful graphics unit. Both models have Tuxedo with a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 28 watts run, which ensures high turbo clock frequencies.

Long battery life and many connections The 15 , 6-inch IPS display covers 74 percent of the sRGB color space and lights up with up to 300 cd / m². The housing is made of aluminum and plastic; the complete notebook weighs around 1, 74 kilograms. The battery should last up to 19 hours – under realistic office conditions, Tuxedo promises 11 hours at half display brightness.

On the connection side, the InfinityBook S is 15 well equipped: 1 × Thunderbolt 4 as USB-C port including USB 4, DisplayPort Altmode and Power Delivery, 2 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbit / s, once each type A and type C), 1 × USB 2.0 type A, HDMI 2.0, audio combo jack, micro SD card reader and Gigabit Ethernet.
