Tuxedo Gemini 17 Gen 4 Linux Laptop Features Ryzen 9 9955HX Power with RTX 5060 Graphics and Professional Grade 17.3 Inch 240Hz Display for Workstations
Tuxedo just pulled the curtain back on the Gemini 17 Gen 4. This is a massive machine. If you are looking for a portable workstation that does not compromise on processing power then this appears to be a strong candidate. It is a 17.3 inch laptop designed specifically for Linux users who need desktop levels of speed. You can get it with a huge amount of memory and a screen that is quite fast.
Performance is clearly the priority here. The laptop uses the AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX which is a 16 core monster. Tuxedo says it can run at 110 watts for long periods. I would imagine that this makes it one of the fastest Linux laptops on the market for compiling code or rendering video. It hits speeds up to 5.4 GHz on a single core. The processor feels like it was taken straight from a desktop and tucked into this chassis.
For the memory you can go all the way up to 128 GB of DDR5 5600 RAM. That is a massive amount. It seems likely that most people will be fine with 16 GB or 32 GB but having the option for more is great for specialized work. Storage is equally flexible with room for two drives giving you up to 8 TB of space.
The screen is another highlight. It is a 17.3 inch IPS panel with a resolution of 2560 by 1440 pixels. I think the 240Hz refresh rate is a nice touch for gamers who want smooth motion. It also covers 100 percent of the DCI P3 color space. This means colors should look vibrant and accurate for photo work or watching movies. It appears to strike a good balance between work and play.
As for the graphics you get the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060. This card is decent for 1440p gaming at high settings. I should mention that the Intel version of this laptop offers a faster GPU but the AMD model focuses more on the raw CPU power. It runs the RTX 5060 at up to 115 watts which is the maximum power for that specific chip.
The laptop is not exactly light. It weighs 2.8 kg and has a thickness of 2.9 cm. This is a desktop replacement through and through. It is probably not something you want to carry in your bag all day every day. However the size allows for a better cooling system which helps the fans stay quieter when the machine is under a heavy load.
Port selection is solid for a professional device. You get two USB Type A ports and two USB Type C ports. One of those supports charging up to 100 watts. There is also an HDMI 2.1 port and a dedicated DisplayPort. You can actually run four screens at the same time if you include the laptop display. It feels like a very capable stationary setup.
The base model starts at 1764 Euro. That price includes the Ryzen 9 and the RTX 5060 along with 16 GB of RAM and a 1 TB drive. You can choose to have it already installed with Tuxedo OS or Ubuntu 24.04. Shipping is expected to start at the end of March 2026. I think it is a fair price for a Linux machine with this kind of hardware. It represents a classic workstation that stays out of your way and just gets the job done.
