TUXEDO Computers has introduced the TUXEDO BM15 Gen1, a 15.6-inch Linux business laptop, targeting government agencies, businesses, and private users who need practical security and maintenance features instead of high-end performance hardware.<\/p>\n

The device includes several standout features that are not often found together, including a built-in smart card reader, optional 4G LTE, wired LAN, Thunderbolt 4, an externally removable battery, and upgradeable RAM and storage.<\/p>\n

The smart card reader follows the ISO\/IEC 7816 standard and supports contact-based smart cards for corporate authentication, digital signatures, and other security workflows. TUXEDO also lists a fingerprint sensor, but Linux users should note that it is available only for Windows.<\/p>\n

The BM15 is powered by Intel\u2019s Core 5 120U processor, combining two performance cores and eight efficiency cores for a total of 10 cores and 12 threads. It pairs with integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics and supports up to 64 GB of DDR5-5200 RAM via two upgradeable SO-DIMM slots.<\/p>\n

Storage uses one M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD slot. Connectivity includes Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211, Bluetooth 5.3, Gigabit Ethernet, Thunderbolt 4, and optional 4G LTE via Huawei LTE modules. The technical specs list Wi-Fi 6E hardware, though TUXEDO\u2019s marketing also mentions Wi-Fi 7.<\/p>\n

The 15.6-inch matte IPS display has a Full HD resolution of 1920 \u00d7 1080 pixels, a 60 Hz refresh rate, 400 nits brightness, 90% sRGB coverage, and a 180-degree hinge. The panel is not designed for professional color work, but its brightness and color coverage suit office work, presentations, browsing, video streaming, and light image editing.<\/p>\n

Port selection includes HDMI 1.4b, Thunderbolt 4 with DisplayPort 1.4a and USB-C charging support, one additional USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 port, USB-A 3.2 Gen 1, USB-A 2.0, RJ45 Ethernet, a microSD card reader, a 2-in-1 audio jack, and a Kensington lock slot.<\/p>\n
