Why does TUXEDO not take part in discount campaigns? - TUXEDO Computers

Before purchasing a device from us, potential customers often ask whether we partake in discount campaigns on certain occasions. Unfortunately, we have to say no, and here you can find out why.

As is customary in the industry, many hardware manufacturers offer their devices at a discounted price on occasions such as Black Friday or Cyber Monday. TUXEDO Computers does not take part in such campaigns, and there is a reason for this.

Black Friday whole year round

Jokingly, this means that it’s Black Friday all year round. Seriously, we calculate our prices as tightly as possible all year round and therefore always offer TUXEDO devices at the best possible price. Even if a component of a device that is already on sale becomes cheaper, we pass this on to you as a customer.

Additional services

Our devices range from entry level devices through mid-range and the high-end segment. However, the high-quality and Linux-compatible hardware components installed in those devices are not the only elements of the price calculation. We offer additional services that are often not available at all from other manufacturers or not available in the quality we offer.

The first thing to mention here is our support team, which will provide you with friendly, competent and tenacious assistance by e-mail and telephone in German and English.

In-house developments

We also invest a lot of time and energy in our own developments such as the TUXEDO Control Center, the configuration service Tomte or the automatic installation via WebFAI for system recovery. In addition, many of our customizations, such as for graphics drivers, have already been included in the Linux mainline kernel. We also offer a customized BIOS / EC. As our customer, in that way, you are also giving something back to the Linux community and helping to spread and improve Free Software.

Tuxedo OS

Our in-house distribution TUXEDO OS is another point that makes your life with Linux easier. We know TUXEDO OS inside out, because we built it. Therefore, we can help you best there. We constantly maintain and update the package repository so that you always have up-to-date and secure software where it counts: including the kernel, the graphics stack and the browser.

We also employ editors who are constantly expanding our knowledge database so that you can quickly find specific answers to problems with your TUXEDO. Furthermore, we also offer you 10 GB of free and secure storage space in the TUXEDO Cloud for file storage with every device. Other advantages are explained in our article Why should I buy at TUXEDO Computers?.

These are all advantages for you that you will not find with many other manufacturers. The fact that all these components and services are included in the price means that discounts are no longer possible. However, we want to support people in training such as school pupils, vocational students, master craftsmen, trainees and students and offer this group of people a 5 % discount on our devices and accessories.
