Tuxedo Computers has launched what it calls<\/a><\/strong> the “world’s first AMD-only and Linux-preinstalled laptop”.<\/p>\n

The device is named the Tuxedo Book BA15<\/strong><\/a>, and it powered by the AMD Ryzen 5 3500U mobile chipset.<\/p>\n

Both Ubuntu and Tuxedo OS are installed on the system by default, and the included software allows users to perform the Linux distribution of their choice automatically.<\/p>\n

“For advanced users and selected devices we also offer openSUSE 15 with Xfce, Gnome, or KDE plasma,” Tuxedo Computers said.<\/p>\n

“Of course fully configured and installed with all available updates and device drivers.”<\/p>\n

If a user wants Windows on their laptop, they can order the laptop with the desired version of Windows installed alongside Linux.<\/p>\n

Hardware and battery<\/h3>\n

One of the most impressive features of the Tuxedo Book BA15 is its long battery life.<\/p>\n

This is made possible by the low power usage of its AMD Ryzen 5 3500U chipset as well as its large 91Wh battery.<\/p>\n

The Tuxedo Book BA15 has a 15.6-inch Full HD IPS display which is powered by the integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics on the Ryzen chipset.<\/p>\n

Users can configure the RAM and storage specifications of the Tuxedo Book BA15 according to their budget and requirements.<\/p>\n

The laptop offers two M.2 NVMe SSD slots, as well as up to 32GB of DDR4 RAM.<\/p>\n

Tuxedo Computers states on its website that the base version of its AMD-only Linux laptop will be priced at \u20ac859.<\/p>\n

Below are images and specifications of the Tuxedo Book BA15.<\/p>\n
