German manufacturer TUXEDO Computers has launched the TUXEDO Nano Pro Gen15, a Linux mini PC that switches from AMD to Intel this generation: the model uses Intel's Core Ultra X7 358H processor, based on the Panther Lake architecture, with 16 cores (4 Performance, 8 Efficient and 4 Low Power Efficient) boosting up to 4.8 GHz, paired with integrated Intel Arc B390 graphics featuring 12 Xe3 cores clocked up to 2.5 GHz.
Compact, expandable and ready for local AI
Despite the hardware, the TUXEDO Nano Pro Gen15 measures 110 × 117.5 × 49 mm and weighs about 1 kg, and it can sit on a desk or behind a monitor using the included VESA mount. It has two upgradeable DDR5 SO-DIMM slots supporting up to 128 GB of DDR5-7200, plus two M.2 NVMe slots — the primary PCIe 5.0 x4 and the secondary PCIe 4.0 x4. Maintenance is straightforward: four screws give access to the RAM, SSDs and wireless card.
One detail deserves attention: Intel officially lists only LPDDR5X support for the Core Ultra X7 358H, with a 96 GB maximum, while TUXEDO advertises 128 GB of DDR5. VideoCardz flags the discrepancy and notes that the manufacturer has not yet explained it — so buyers considering the maximum memory configuration should confirm it before ordering.
For connectivity, the mini PC offers Thunderbolt 4 over USB4 (40 Gbps), a second USB-C port (20 Gbps), three USB-A ports, dual 2.5 GbE Ethernet, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0, plus two HDMI outputs. Up to four 4K displays can be connected at once, but there is a Linux limitation: under TUXEDO's system the HDMI ports run as HDMI 2.0b at 4K 60 Hz, while Windows supports HDMI 2.1 at 4K 120 Hz.
Price, systems and availability
The TUXEDO Nano Pro Gen15 ships with TUXEDO OS, a Debian distribution with KDE Plasma, or Ubuntu, and Windows 11 is available as a paid option. The TUXEDO Control Center allows fan control and other settings, and the company also offers optional full-disk encryption and Linux-focused technical support. According to Linuxiac, the integrated graphics handle older and less demanding games at Full HD with high settings, and the shared system memory allows larger local AI models to run in apps such as Alpaca and LM Studio without relying on the cloud.
Preorders are already open. Notebookcheck lists the base model — with 16 GB of RAM and a 500 GB SSD — at €1,469 excluding import costs, while VideoCardz cites €1,749 including 19% VAT in Germany for the same configuration. Shipments are scheduled for mid-November 2026. The price also reflects the DRAM crisis cited by Notebookcheck, which made the new model considerably more expensive than its predecessor, the Nano Pro Gen14, which used the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350.
