TUXEDO reveal the Stellaris 16 Gen 6, a more compact desktop-replacement laptop

After showing off the TUXEDO Gemini 17 - Gen3 back in September, TUXEDO have now revealed a slightly more compact desktop-replacement laptop with the Stellaris 16.

What they said about it: "At first glance, the new TUXEDO Stellaris 16 - Gen6 may not appear exceptionally "compact" with its overall z-height of just over 2.6 cm and weight of 2.5 kg.

However, a second look with having the Linux high-end laptop's specifications in mind makes it clear: this is the fastest hardware on the planet in an enclosure that strikes the golden mean between portable case dimensions and high cooling capacity for either fastest high-end hardware on par with upper-class desktop PCs or quieter fan noise at very high working and gaming performance."

Moving past the marketing speak for a moment, what are you getting? Full Linux support of course, as standard for TUXEDO systems. The base config on offer comes in at €1660 (excluding tax) and that will give you:

• Display: 16'' WQXGA IPS | 16:10 | 240 Hz (2560 x 1600), 100% sRGB, G-SYNC.
• Processor: Intel Core i9-14900HX.
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 (up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090)
• RAM: 16GB DDR5-5600.
• Storage: 500GB Samsung 980 SSD.
• Wireless: Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211 (802.11ax | 2.4, 5 & 6 GHz | Bluetooth 5.3)
• Power: 99 Wh battery.
• For ports you're getting in total: 3x USB-A 3.2 Gen1, USB-C 3.2 Gen1, 2-in-1 audio jack (headphone & microphone), Card reader (SD/SDHC/SDXC), HDMI 2.1, Gigabit ethernet, DC-in, Thunderbolt 4 / USB-C 4.

So while it is indeed pricey, that's a ridiculous amount of power in a still pretty small case overall. You could do some serious gaming on that.

See more on their website. They said the shipping starts mid-November.

I'm curious to know if there's any TUXEDO computers customers reading GamingOnLinux, be sure to give over your experiences in the comments.
