TUXEDO are flexing their hardware chops here with the InfinityFlex, a fully foldable Linux laptop so you can use it wherever and however you want. No that's not drool on my top, honest.

With the ability to fold the screen right down on top of the unit, you can use it as a standard laptop or more like a tablet. Since it has a pressure-sensitive touch display, pairing it up with a pen you can use it for all sorts of artwork projects too. Pretty light as well at only 1.5KG.

TUXEDO put some fun work into this one by the sounds of it. They said "soon as the device is used in monitor or tablet mode, the keyboard and touchpad are automatically deactivated to prevent incorrect entries, the screen content is rotated according to the chassis orientation and TUXEDO OS also adapts its UI to touch operation".

Specifications:

  • 14-inch IPS Touch Display, 1920 x 1200, sRGB color gamut: 100 %, Brightness: 400 nits.
  • Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211, Bluetooth 5.3.
  • 55 Wh battery.
  • Intel Core i5-1335U, Intel Iris Xe Graphics.
  • DDR4-3200 MHz SO-DIMM, 16GB on the base model.
  • 500 GB Samsung 980 (NVMe PCIe 3.0).

Looks and sounds like a real nice machine.

See more on the TUXEDO store. Available for pre-order with shipping after September 16th. The pen is sold separately.

I am the owner of GamingOnLinux. After discovering Linux back in the days of Mandrake in 2003, I constantly came back to check on the progress of Linux until Ubuntu appeared on the scene and it helped me to really love it. You can reach me easily by emailing GamingOnLinux directly.

Foldable but not affordable: 5 hours battery life promised for "light web browsing" in this price

I do wish TUXEDO would expand on their AMD segment, especially when it comes to GPUs.

The price doesn't surprise me for this kind of laptop. It's not really useful for someone like me, but I can really see some professionals using it as a daily driver. Being able to use a Wacom stylus to draw can be really useful on some field jobs (updating plans, drawing sketches for a customer...)

And the option to have a 4G module is the cherry on top for field workers, no need to use your phone battery!

After trying out a tablet with Linux (GNOME and Plasma) I have to say they all need some work but mostly with the OSK. ChromeOS has the best keyboard since it can also be split and floating which is great for using the system. I want to see more products like this with Linux but we really need to address these issues.

Why does Tuxedo choose for an Intel CPU?
Isnt AMD way more energie efficiënt and better integrated graphics and longer batery life?
And the hardware getting less hot?

Beside that this looks like an very interesting, but expansive device.
Is it possible to make calls with the 4G module on this?

Why oh why go they for an (already rather old) Intel APU when the AMD competitors are better in pretty much every aspect? And why DDR4?

Mind you, with something like this I don't think you'd use the screen keyboard much. It has a real one, if you're going to be typing you just fold it the other way.

I had a Yoga foldable laptop once upon a time, long ago. Seemed like a wonderful idea on paper and in concept. In real life it was HORRIBLE. I HATED every minute of it. Actually wound up selling it used after less than a year and going back to a "normal" laptop. These kinds of laptops might be nice for the extreme graphic artist or whatever, but I guarantee for 99% of the market, there's no reason for this.

Some Yoga models had a bad screen hinge system which made it not stay in place when used as a normal laptop... and most of them had horrible cpu and gpu power, because they were from before the AMD Ryzen tier of efficiency...

what else made it horrible back then that isn't better/solved now?
