Ultra portable and light aluminum chassis

The TUXEDO Aura 14 is designed for maximum mobility and comes with a very thin and light weight yet still robust, matte black enclosure made of aluminum and plastic.

The unobtrusively looking chassis in a subtle matte black color relies on aluminum on the outer surfaces (display lid and bottom panel) for safe transportation, while the base unit (palm rests and keyboard area) is made of solid plastics which contributes to the very low total weight of only 1.37 kg.

Combined with very compact case dimensions of only 325 x 220 x 20 mm, the TUXEDO Aura 14 is the ideal budget-friendly, ultra-portable companion for work and home.

For comfortable working in dim environments, the quiet membrane keyboard has a pleasantly unobtrusive white backlight in 5 brightness levels, while the 121 x 73 mm clickpad with integrated mouse buttons features a fingerprint sensor for quick biometric authentication (Windows only!).

Power-saving operation and enough performance for office and everyday tasks

The TUXEDO Aura 14 is powered by an Intel Core i5-1235U, which comes with 10 processor cores that are split into 8 Efficient-cores and 2 Performance-cores. Since the latter can handle 2 processes simultaneously ("Hyperthreading"), the multicore performance can rely on up to a total of 12 threads.

At low system load, the 8 Efficient-cores help to save power, while the 2 faster Performance-cores additionally get into the game under high processing load.

The thermal design power (TDP) of 15 watts provides the CPU with a solid performance for everyday tasks such as web surfing, emails, office programs or video streaming, while ensuring an energy-saving and quiet operation of the Linux office notebook.

Vivid 14.0'' Full HD display

The TUXEDO Aura 14 comes with an above-average quality, vibrant 14.0-inch screen featuring 100% sRGB color gamut which is unusual for a budget office notebook and makes the Linux laptop highly suitable for multimedia purposes, such as image editing and video streaming.

The resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels on the 31 x 17.5 cm small screen surface ensures a sharp pixel density of 157 ppi, while the brightness of around 300 nits in combination with the panel's matte coating and the IPS-typical stable viewing angles allows for good legibility in bright indoor rooms for concentrated work without annoying reflections.

49 Wh battery with charging via USB-C Power Delivery DC-In

The small Linux office notebook's 49 Wh battery provides the TUXEDO Aura 14 with runtimes of around 4 to 5 hours in practical office use with medium brightness (~ 150 cd/m2) and web browsing thanks to the energy-saving processor.

When the battery power is finally running out, the Aura 14 can be charged either by its very small (95 x 40 x 27 mm) and super-light (270 g incl. power cable)) 45-Watt power supply or with a suitable USB-C power supply* (min. 20V / 3.25A (65 Watts)) via the USB-C port's Power Delivery DC-In feature on the right side of the device.

For an energy-saving operation, we recommend our specially tuned power profiles as well as the manual CPU power limit control in our self-developed TUXEDO Control Center, which is already pre-installed on your TUXEDO laptop.

For stationary use plugged into a wall outlet, battery charge control ("Flexicharger") via the UEFI lets you define charge limits for increasing your battery's life span.

Secure? Secure!

Data protection is a top priority at TUXEDO. That is why every TUXEDO computer features various security features:

On the firmware side of things, the UEFI offers enhanced security options, e.g. for protecting your hard drive with a dedicated password or disabling modules like WiFi and Bluetooth modules, webcam or audio devices. In addition, we install any of our listed Linux distributions with full hard disk encryption for you upon request, which protects your data from access by third parties in case of theft.

In addition, every TUXEDO notebook integrates the Trusted Platform Module (TPM 2.0 for short), a small chip on the motherboard that makes a computer more secure against malware by preventing manipulated firmware from accessing the operating system or encrypting the hard drive protecting your data in case of theft. If required, TPM 2.0 can be disabled in the UEFI on all TUXEDOs.

Get rid of tape on your webcam: The TUXEDO Aura 14 goes one step further in terms of security and integrates a webcam shutter for the 1080p camera installed in the upper display bezel. Last but not least, the touchpad offers a fingerprint sensor for fast biometric authentication in Windows.

Up to 4 TB SSD storage and 64 GB RAM

Despite its ultra portable build, the TUXEDO Aura 14 features upgradeable RAM (2x SO-DIMM) as well as expandable SSD mass storage (1x M.2).

After removing the Linux laptop's bottom panel, which is of course covered by the warranty, two RAM slots for up to 64 GB of DDR4-3200 MHz memory as well as one M.2 SSD for max. 4 terabytes with PCIe 4.0 high-speed connection are easily accessible for replacement.

For even more storage space, you get 10 GB myTUXEDO cloud storage for free with every TUXEDO laptop or PC. This way, you can access your data conveniently and securely (encrypted and hosted in compliance with german data protection regulations) at any time from anywhere and with any Internet-capable laptop, PC or smartphone.

3x USB, HDMI and RJ45 LAN

A solid ports selection for data exchange or connecting additional monitors is vital for productive office work. With an ultra thin and small case like that of the TUXEDO Aura 14, it is a challenge to accommodate as many ports as possible.

Nevertheless, the Linux office laptop comes with 3x USB incl. 1x USB-C 3.2 Gen2×1 with DisplayPort 1.4 for hooking up to two monitors (via MST hub) and Power Delivery DC-In for charging the notebook via 65-Watt USB-C power adapter*.

In combination with the HDMI 1.4b standard, up to a total of 3 external monitors can be connected to the TUXEDO Aura 14 for a productive multi-monitor setup.

On the data side, besides 3x USB (2x USB-A, 1x USB-C) a microSD card reader is on board. Fast network connections can be established either wirelessly via the WiFi 6E module or via the conventional RJ45 LAN port, which is often missing in thin and small notebooks. The connectivity is completed by a combined jack for headphone output and microphone input as well as the obligatory Kensington Lock as an anti-theft device.
