PayPalMany of you have been mentioning you want better screens with your Linux laptops, so TUXEDO listened closely with the brand new and flashy InfinityBook Pro 14.
"Omnia is the equivalent of totality, of the whole. In order to enjoy complete sharpness of detail accordingly, the InfinityBook Pro 14 Gen6 has a 16:10 format instead of the usual screen format and is available under the name "Omnia" as a 3K premium variant with 2880 x 1800 pixels, measured 99% sRGB coverage as well as 400 cd/m2 brightness for optimal viewing possibilities while working and surfing." — Tuxedo Computers.
The base configuration starts at €1,249 EUR and includes the Intel Core i5-1135G7 and an anti-reflective, IPS 1920x1200 16:10 display, 1x8 GB of RAM, and a 250 GB Samsung 970 EVO Plus. If you want better, you can up the screen to an anti-reflective, LTPS 2880 x 1800 for many more pixels. You can also up the processor to the i7-1165G7 for an extra €100 EUR on the base model or an extra €150 EUR for the 2880 x 1800 screen.
You can configure it up to 64GB RAM, along with 2 fast NVMe SSDs with up to 4 terabytes of storage. As for ports, there's plenty there too including a full-featured USB-C 4.0 port including Thunderbolt 4 with Display Port 1.4, HDMI 2.0 as well as USB-C 3.2 Gen2 and two USB-A 3.2, an SD card reader and much more.
Again, I must groan at the 8GB RAM. I do firmly think it's time for laptop vendors to start having 16GB at a minimum. Far too many apps and games just eat up RAM, 8GB just isn't enough.
Not only does it have a good screen, and some powerful internals to back it up, it's also quite customizable. TUXEDO allow you to have your own logo, graphic design or even a photo lasered onto the display lid or applied onto it using a "durable multicolor printing process".
As usual, TUXEDO allow you to pick between Ubuntu 20.04 and their own TUXEDO_OS which is based upon Ubuntu 20.04.
You can order now with the first set of deliveries to begin from May 31, 2021. Their production time is around 3 weeks. See more on the official store page.

Quoting: poiuzYes, on their website:Quoting: iiariThe other item of slight concern for me is the non-replaceable/swappable 53 Wh batteryDid they state this somewhere?
QuoteThe Linux lightweight laptop's internally screwed 53 Wh lithium-ion battery allows runtimes of around 8 hours (3K high-resolution display) in practical everyday use (@ 150 cd/m2 and Wifi active). In idle mode up to 12 hours are achievable.
Quoting: iiariYes, on their website:I'd interpret this as "only screwed, not glued". There are pictures of the hardware in their gallery and the battery looks easily replaceable, too. Of course it's not hot-swappable but neither is the battery in the Framework laptop.

But I've to say that the Framework laptop board in comparison looks really well designed. The InfinityBook Pro 14 board wastes a lot of space (I guess it'll be reused in a smaller notebook).
