Now, let us have a detailed look at the specifications of both models.
Sleek, Aluminum Unibody Design
The TUXEDO Stellaris Slim 15 prioritizes a fashionable and stylish profile, encased in an elegant matte black aluminum unibody.
Weighing just 2.1 kg (4.6 lbs) and measuring 2.2 cm (0.87 inches) thin, this metal chassis exudes a premium yet understated look without over-the-top gaming aesthetics. This allows the Stellaris Slim 15 to blend seamlessly into professional environments.
Despite its compact footprint of 34.2 x 24.5 cm (13.5 x 9.6 inches), this 15.3-inch Linux laptop features a full-sized keyboard complete with a dedicated number pad and offset larger arrow keys for improved ergonomics.
The glass precision touchpad measures a spacious 12.3 x 7.8 cm (4.8 x 3.1 inches), offering a smooth surface ideal for convenient navigation on-the-go.
High-performance CPUs from Intel and AMD
Despite its ultra-slim profile, the Stellaris Slim 15 packs impressive processing power thanks to high-performance CPU options from both Intel and AMD.
For the AMD configuration, you can choose the Ryzen 7 8845HS - an 8-core, 16-thread processor built on a highly efficient 4nm architecture. This chip delivers great all-around performance while optimizing power consumption.
On the Intel side, there's the Core i7-14650HX with 8 Performance cores and 8 Efficient cores. It operates in a similar high-performance tier as the AMD option.
For users who need maximum multi-threaded horsepower, the Core i9-14900HX sits at the top. It has a massive 24 cores (16 Efficient, 8 Performance) with TDP ranging from 45W at minimum up to 157W during Turbo boost periods.
To accommodate these powerful CPUs within the slim chassis, thermal and power limits are balanced. The Intel models can draw up to 100W continuously under full load, while the AMD configuration tops out at 80W due to the manufacturer's preset limits.
High-Performance NVIDIA Graphics for Gaming and Productivity
For impressive gaming framerates and accelerated GPU computing performance, the Stellaris Slim 15 is equipped with NVIDIA's powerful GeForce RTX 4060 or RTX 4070 graphics processors.
Both GPU options come loaded with 8GB of ultra-fast GDDR6 video memory and are configured to operate at their maximum 115W TGP (Total Graphics Power), plus an additional 25W Dynamic Boost for short bursts.
To effectively expel the heat generated by these high-wattage GPUs combined with the powerful CPUs (up to 160W total), the slim chassis integrates an advanced cooling solution.
It utilizes four heat pipes and two compact 8mm fans to exhaust hot air through vents on the sides and rear. For context, these fans are incredibly small - just twice the diameter of a 1 Euro cent coin!
Bright and Responsive 15.3-inch Display
The Stellaris Slim 15 introduces a brand-new 15.3-inch display option, bridging the gap between the compact 14-inch models and larger 16-inch screens. This display size provides ample viewing real estate in a still highly portable form factor.
This high-resolution 2560x1600 panel delivers a crisp, high pixel density of 201 PPI. It also boasts an impressive 240Hz refresh rate and Adaptive Sync technology for smooth motion rendering - a must for serious gamers.
Professionals will appreciate the productivity-friendly 16:10 aspect ratio, providing more vertical space for documents and code. The display covers 100% of the sRGB color space and reaches up to 500 nits of brightness, ensuring vibrant colors and excellent visibility even in well-lit rooms or outdoors.
The lid can tilt up to 180 degrees, allowing flexible positioning on laptop stands or other setups.
There's also a integrated webcam privacy shutter to prevent unauthorized access to the 1080p camera when not in use.
99 Wh battery, USB-C charging and Thunderbolt 4
Portability is a prime focus of the Stellaris Slim 15, exemplified by its large 99Wh battery - the maximum capacity permitted for air travel. This allows for extended unplugged usage on-the-go.
When it's time to recharge, you have several convenient options. Use the included 280W GaN charger, or take advantage of USB-C Power Delivery charging (minimum 100W, 20V/5A) when operating under lighter workloads.
For connecting external displays, the Stellaris Slim 15 provides HDMI 2.1 and Thunderbolt 4 (Intel models) or USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 with DisplayPort 1.4a (AMD models). The AMD variants also include a dedicated mini DisplayPort output.
Other ports include three USB Type-A, an additional USB-C for data, a full-size SD card reader, combo audio jack, and Gigabit Ethernet port for wired networking.
User upgradeability is a strength, with two easily accessible RAM slots supporting up to 64GB DDR5-5600 (Intel) or 96GB (AMD). Storage is also expandable with space for up to 8TB of high-speed PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDs.
Now Available for Pre-Order, Shipping Mid-June
Like all TUXEDO notebooks, the Stellaris Slim 15 comes with full Linux support out-of-the-box. This includes Linux-trained customer support, pre-installed drivers and custom software packages, cloud services, and the option to use TUXEDO's in-house "TUXEDO OS" Linux distribution (or alternatively Ubuntu 22.04, Kubuntu 22.04 or Ubuntu Budgie 22.04). Full disk encryption is also available.
For those who prefer Windows, the Stellaris Slim 15 can be configured with Windows 11 pre-installed upon request.
The base AMD configuration featuring the Ryzen 7 8845HS CPU, NVIDIA RTX 4060 GPU, 16GB DDR5-5600 RAM, 500GB Samsung 980 NVMe SSD, and TUXEDO OS starts at €1,699 including VAT for customers in Germany, or around €1,430 excluding VAT for the rest of Europe.
The base Intel model with the Core i7-14650HX CPU, RTX 4060 GPU, 16GB RAM, 500GB SSD and TUXEDO OS is priced at €1,749 including VAT in Germany, or approximately €1,470 excluding VAT internationally.
