Premium-class high-end CPU:
Intel Core i9-14900HX with 24 Cores!

Masterclass-Multitasking: With a whole 24 cpu cores (consisting of 8 performance-optimized Performance-cores and 16 efficiency-optimized Efficient-cores) and thus up to 32 threads that can be processed simultaneously, the Intel Core i9-14900HX is a top-class computing powerhouse! With single-core speeds of up to 5.8 GHz, the Core i9-14900HX is also an excellent choice for gaming.

The high-end processor is specified with a standard TDP of 55 watts, which, however, has to be exceeded by far for full performance - as is the case with all CPUs. This is where the wheat is separated from the chaff and the real performance depends on the laptop's cooling quality:

Whereas ultra-thin notebooks can reach high performance values only for a short period of time, the more powerful cooling of the Stellaris 17 can draw up to 100 watts (up to 125 watts with Aquaris watercooling) sustained to constantly provide outstanding performance for content creation or gaming.

Galactical performance with the fastest laptop graphics on earth!

Fastest Linux gaming laptop on the market? The Stellaris 17 - Gen6 integrates the powerful yet efficient RTX 40 graphics cards for notebooks. But that's not all: While NVIDIA defines a very wide spectrum of performance gradations (Total Graphics Power, TGP for short), only the fastest versions are used in the Stellaris 16!

The top model, the GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop, is a technical masterpiece. With a TGP of up to 175 watts, it is not only the fastest laptop GPU on the market, but also surpasses its direct predecessor, the RTX 3080 Ti by around 50%! In terms of efficiency the RTX 4090 Laptop beats similarly fast desktop graphics cards by far: Both the new GeForce RTX 4070Ti (285 watts) and the last gen's top tier model, the RTX 3090 (350 watts), draw around 63 to 100% more power for roughly the same performance!

The performance data of the GeForce RTX 4080 look similarly impressive: With 12 GB of GDDR6 graphics memory and the same power consumption, it ranks about 20% behind the mobile top tier model, but still about 30% ahead of the 3080 Ti Laptop and even about 50% ahead of its direct predecessor, the RTX 3080.

For a more affordable but powerful high-level entry with performance reserves thanks to DLSS, the GeForce RTX 4060 and RTX 4070 are available, each with 8 GB of GDDR6 graphics memory and a lower power consumption of up to 140 watts, which can even run a bit cooler or quieter thanks to the equivalent cooling system with 6 heatpipes.

High-end desktop replacement in a portable premium enclosure

Also in generation 6, the Stellaris 17 comes with the best-quality chassis of all TUXEDO notebooks to date. The enclosure not only convinces with excellent stability, but also with rock solid, high-quality haptics.

While the aluminum display lid is held very sturdyly in position thanks to a perfectly tight, centered hinge, the base unit features a grippy and largely fingerprint-repellent rubberized Grip-Touch coating.

Thanks to a - for a high-end desktop replacement - moderate weight of 2.8 kg and an chassis height of 27 mm, the Stellaris 17 not only offers enough space for the mechanical Cherry MX keyboard with a long key travel, but also for a powerful cooling system that is superior to the ones of typical thin-and-light gaming notebooks and allows for either more performance or quieter fan noise.

240 Hz 17-inch 16:10 display for gaming and content creation

The TUXEDO Stellaris 17 satisfies the most demanding gamers with an ultra-high refresh rate of 240 Hz and offers great visuals for productive tasks, such as video and image editing, with a detailed display resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels in the popular 16:10 aspect ratio for more vertical screen space than the usual 16:9 format.

The virtually full sRGB color gamut ensures a vivid image for games and movies and is suitable for semi-professional color-accurate work, while the screen brightness of ~380 nits makes it possible to use your Stellaris 17 in bright indoor or shadowy outdoor environments giving you flexiblity for your preferred work location.

NVIDIA's G-SYNC and Advanced Optimus provide additional comfort and maximum FPS: While the latter automatically drives the display directly via the GeForce graphics during gaming to optimize performance, G-SYNC dynamically adjusts the refresh rate to the graphics card's speed, ensuring the best possible smooth image quality and effectively avoiding "screen tearing".

Quiet membrane or mechanical premium keyboard with Cherry MX switches

To meet the wishes of many customers, we offer the Stellaris 17 with two keyboard options: While fans of high-quality, mechanical keyboards get their money's worth with original Cherry MX ultra low-profile switches, while users who prefer quiet keyboards will be happy about the option with low-noise membrane switches.

The Cherry MX ultra low profile switches produce a very audible, "clicky" trigger noise typical for mechanical keyboards while providing an extremely solid, excellent typing feel with a total key travel of 1.8 mm with a per slight press-resistant perceptible pre travel of 0.8 mm. The number pad and the function key row are equipped with quieter, but similarly solid membrane keys due to the fact that Cherry MX switches are not available for those smaller key caps.

On the other hand, the quiet membrane keyboard with white-edged keycaps, which can be RGB-color-illuminated in 4 zones, fully relies on a more traditional, low-noise rubberdome mechanism, which offers a solid typing experience, but much quieter and typically damped trigger noise which makes it much more pleasant especially in quiet and shared places.

The huge, 150 x 95 mm sized glass precision clickpad with integrated mouse buttons has pleasant gliding haptics and can be deactivated via a double finger tap in the upper left corner if required to - besides integrated palm recognition - prevent typing errors.

Decent battery life thanks to a maximally large 99 Wh battery

Even though the Stellaris 17 - Gen6 is clearly meant as a high-end desktop replacement, the Linux gaming notebook can also be easily used for many hours away from the power socket giving you more flexiblity for your preferred work location.

The 16 efficiency cores of the Core i9-14900HX come into play here and help to save power, while the 99 Wh battery, which is the maximum allowed for taking a laptop on an airplane, allows runtimes of up to 10 hours (idle) and around 6-7 hours under working conditions with websurfing and medium display brightness.

For an energy-saving operation, we recommend our pre-set, tuned power profiles as well as the manual settings for CPU power limit control (TDP) in our self-developed and on your TUXEDO laptop pre-installed TUXEDO Control Center.

External water cooling for stationary use

When the heat is on in virtual battles or the most computationally intensive renderings, the TUXEDO Stellaris 17 with RTX 4080 and 4090 pushes open the door to a new form of cooling performance: the optional, external TUXEDO Aquaris water cooling system.

At the back of the notebook are the two magnetic and, when the hoses are removed, self-sealing connectors for plugging the two 650 mm long and 9 mm thick, black sleeved tubes into the notebook. The cooling liquid, which is in the scope of delivery, then gets pumped from the Aquaris' water reservoir through a cooling pipe that is placed on top of the Stellaris 17's regular air cooling heatpipes.

This way, the notebook's internal air cooling gets enhanced by the TUXEDO Aquaris, resulting in greatly reduced surface and component temperatures and therefore lower fan noise. Alternatively, the additional cooling power can be invested into squeezing out the last performance percentage points in games or renderings.

The weight of 1.39 kg as well as the relatively compact case dimensions of 203 x 75 x 186 mm allow for occasional transport, although due to the need to carefully empty the notebook and, if necessary, the water cooling box beforehand, operation is designed for stationary use at the desk.

Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.1 and 3x USB-A

The connectivity of the TUXEDO Stellaris 16 leaves nothing to be desired and offers HDMI 2.1 and Thunderbolt 4 with DisplayPort 1.4a for connecting two external high-resolution monitors. The latter offers the possibility to connect a third monitor to the Stellaris 16 via MST splitter for a total of even 4 screens (3x external, 1x internal).

On the data side, 3x USB Type A ports and a full-size card reader (SD/SDHC/SDXC) are also available. The connectivity is completed by connections for headphone output, microphone input, RJ 45 LAN and the optional, external water cooling TUXEDO Aquaris.
