The TUXEDO Nano Pro Gen15 is a mini PC for people who want a full Linux workstation without the tower. It measures 110 x 117.5 x 49 mm, weighs about 1 kg, and still fits a 16-core Intel processor, two SSD slots, and up to 128 GB of RAM. TUXEDO builds it in Germany, ships it with Linux installed, and includes a VESA mount so it can disappear behind a monitor.

The hardware

The processor is Intel’s Core Ultra X7 358H, a Panther Lake chip with 4 performance cores, 8 efficiency cores, and 4 low-power efficiency cores, boosting to 4.8 GHz with 18 MB of L3 cache. Graphics come from the integrated Intel Arc B390 with 12 Xe cores, enough for older and lighter games at Full HD and for driving up to four 4K displays at once.

Memory is the headline number. Two SO-DIMM slots take up to 128 GB of DDR5-7200 in dual channel, and both slots stay user-upgradeable. Storage runs through two M.2 slots, the primary on PCIe 5.0 x4 and the second on PCIe 4.0 x4, with configurations up to 10 TB. Four screws on the base plate open the case, and the RAM, both SSDs, and the Wi-Fi card are all swappable.

Ports cover a desk and a home lab at the same time. The front carries a USB4 port with DisplayPort 2.1, a USB-C 3.2 Gen2x2 port with DisplayPort 1.4a, a USB-A 3.2 Gen2 port, and a 2-in-1 audio jack. Around back sit two more USB-A ports, two HDMI ports, a Kensington lock slot, and two 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports. Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0 are built in, and a 120W power supply feeds the whole thing.

The Linux angle

Most mini PCs ship with Windows and treat Linux as your problem. The Nano Pro Gen15 flips that. It arrives with TUXEDO OS, the company’s Ubuntu-based system running KDE Plasma, or plain Ubuntu, fully configured. TUXEDO’s WebFAI tool installs other distributions the same way the factory does, and the graphics drivers already live in the Linux kernel and the Mesa stack, so the Arc B390 works out of the box.

The 128 GB memory ceiling gives the box a second job. That much RAM lets it run local AI models on the integrated graphics, with tools like LM Studio handling setup. Mid-size models run comfortably, and every prompt stays on the machine instead of a subscription server.




One spec splits by operating system. Under Linux, the HDMI ports run HDMI 2.0b and top out at 4K at 60 Hz. Install Windows and the same ports unlock HDMI 2.1 at 4K and 120 Hz. The DisplayPort outputs hold 4K at 60 Hz either way.

Price and availability

The Nano Pro Gen15 starts at $1,640 (ex-tax) before taxes and customs in TUXEDO’s store, with 16 GB of RAM and a 500 GB SSD in the base configuration. Preorders are open now, and shipping is set to start in mid-November 2026.

A 1 kg box that swallows 128 GB of RAM, two SSDs, and dual 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet is the Linux mini PC the category keeps promising, and this one you can actually order.
