TUXEDO Computers has unveiled the Gemini 17 – Gen 4, a new 17.3-inch Linux laptop engineered as a formidable desktop replacement for demanding users, excelling in both high-end gaming and professional workstation tasks. While its 2.8 kg weight and nearly 2.9 cm thickness mean it’s not ultra-portable, this design allows for a superior cooling system and uncompromising performance.

It also features the desktop-class Intel Core i9-14900HX processor. This powerhouse offers 24 CPU cores (8 performance, 16 efficiency) and single-core speeds up to 5.8 GHz, making it an excellent choice for gaming and heavy multi-tasking, capable of running up to 32 tasks simultaneously.
