The InsanityBook combines Ultrabook features with high-performance processors and graphics cards. A crazy combination combined in a high-quality designed and processed aluminium housing.
Features such as DisplayPort connectors, USB-C, dual-channel memory, quad-core CPUs and much more are also included.
With its height of only 18,6mm and only 1,9kg it is almost as portable as an Ultrabook. The powerful NVIDIA GTX graphics card, paired with Intel's Quad-Core CPU also make it a real arithmetic monster. This means that you can always have your implement with you and still always have full power at your disposal.
An ultra-fast M. 2 NVMe PCI-Express SSD provides the data hunger for your high-performance notebooks at a reasonable speed and on another 2.5" SATAIII 6Gb/s HDD or SSD you will find your terrabyte of data that you always need to have with you.
The two mini display port connectors allow you to operate monitors with up to 4k resolution at 60Hz. An HDMI port is also available for image output.
Two USB 3.1 Gen2 Gen2 Type-C with full 10Gb/s speed and three more USB 3.0 Type-A ports let you connect all your devices in a contemporary way.
A full-fledged/normal network connection / Ethernet port (RJ45) provides WLAN & Bluetooth as well as wired network fun.
And so that you don't run out of network on the go, we can also install an LTE/4G modem on request! (downward compatible)
Of course, a 2MP webcam, microphone, card reader, headphone connections etc. are obligatory.
Display / Monitor
Modern displays with IPS panels have bright areas along the frame as a normal characteristic. This has hardly any influence on everyday operation, not least because the displays are optimized for daylight operation. It can only be minimized, but not completely avoided, regardless of the manufacturer and for manufacturing reasons. Details on pixel error classes can be found here.

To change the battery, the base plate must be removed. Afterwards, it can be replaced with only two screws without any problems. It's not glued in.
Netzteil:
150W power supply
Dimensions: 167.5 * 82.0 * 25.4 mm
As a mobile travel power supply we recommend our 60/65W power supply. Power your notebook with enough power to perform normal office work on the go. An alternative is our 120W slim power supply, which covers almost all power requirements at maximum load. This supplies the device with sufficient energy on the road, but is relatively light and small. And if there should be a shortterm bottleneck, there is the built-in notebook battery!

Operating systems
We install Ubuntu and TUXEDO OS (based on Ubuntu with KDE Plasma Desktop) in the latest 64-bit version with long term support.
With our fully automatic installation WebFAI you can easily perform a Linux installation exactly as we at TUXEDO Computers do it in our production! You can choose from all distributions that we also offer in our configurator. Depending on the distribution, you have the choice between different desktop interfaces. More backgrounds and a video demo as well as detailed instructions can be found here.
For "self-installers" and all who are interested, we have set up a database with downloads, instructions, tips & tricks and offer Tomte, a tool that automatically makes our adjustments under Ubuntu, elementary OS and Linux Mint:
Encrypted Installation
On request, we install your Linux system completely encrypted. The pre-installation as dual boot with Windows is technically not possible.
Further details as well as a detailed introduction to encryption can be found here.
Windows on request
If you don't want or can't do without Windows, we install the desired Windows version next to Linux or alone. Please understand that a dual-boot installation can take 1-2 working days longer, even though the process is fully automatic. Please also note that we provide you with a correct Windows license incl. license sticker and installation DVD!
Windows Drivers
The corresponding Windows drivers are already included as standard with every device, regardless of whether it is with or without Windows or operating system installation. Alternatively, you are free to download all Windows-Drivers from here.
Accessories
As accessories you can select an additional external display for enjoying dual display operating together with the laptop.
Furthermore we deliver a wired or wireless keyboard including a mouse or an additional wired mouse. These input devices are produced by Logitech and are only available with German layout!
Warranty
2 years pick up and return (12 months on wearing parts like battery & power supply)
Optional: Up to 5 years pick up and return (12 months on wearing parts like battery & power supply)
All devices have a maintenance-friendly design. Depending on the model, the essential hardware components such as processor, drive, hard disks, RAM, WIFI modules etc. can be accessed via maintenance flaps or removable floor trays. Furthermore the battery is replaceable if not stated differently. Of course, even after expiration of your warranty period, we're offering replacement parts and service for many years!
For warranty cases, we'll provide you with a free return label after getting in touch with us. Warranty handling is done via our technical support. Please note our warranty conditions

Noise growth / Cooling / Ventilation / Fan
Temperature controlled silent fan
At low system workload/stress there is less heat emerging. The cooling system fans have to spin accordingly fast or slow or even turn themselves off completely. But the device doesn't produce any disturbing noises even at full load, no high frequency sounds or clatter, just air swooshing.
Custom fan control with the TUXEDO Control Center
With the TUXEDO Control Center you are able to control the behavior of the fans at yourself. This means that you get the ability to make your device as silent as possible. You are able to set the device almost passive cooled, without any fan noise most of the time!
We are personally there for you Monday to Friday from 9 am to 1 pm and from 2 pm to 5 pm (German time). But also outside these times you can contact our team with your request by e-mail. Please include your customer number, the model name of your laptop or PC and as detailed a description of your request as possible. The more details you give us, the faster we can process your request!
