- InfinityBook Max 16 Delivers Intel Core Ultra 9 Desktop Performance
- RTX 5060 and 5070 GPUs enable customizable power and fan noise levels
- 8mm low profile cooling enables up to 170W combined CPU and GPU power
Tuxedo has introduced the InfinityBook Max 16, a 16-inch Linux workstation built around the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX, a 24-core processor derived from desktop designs.
The company says that the CPU can support power levels of up to 140 watts at maximum fan speed, which is notable for a device that weighs just over 2kg.
Tuxedo also claims that around 90% of its peak performance can be achieved below 100 watts, which could reduce fan noise during long workloads.
Power scaling and thermal limits in a thin enterprise chassis
The device is offered with RTX 5060 or RTX 5070 GPU, reinforcing its role as a compact mini workstation rather than a conventional ultraportable business laptop.
The power of the RTX 5060 can be configured between 45 and 115 watts, while the RTX 5070 runs between 50 and 115 watts, allowing users to adjust the performance and fan noise behavior according to their preferences instead of fixed presets.
The InfinityBook Max 16 features an 8mm chassis, which is slightly thicker than the solution used in the InfinityBook Pro 15.
It uses a low-profile cooling assembly, enabling a combined CPU and GPU power budget of up to 170 watts at full fan speed.
This figure reflects the upper thermal limits of the design rather than sustained silent operation, but users can reduce processor and graphics power to reduce acoustic output.
The InfinityBook Max 16 includes a wide selection of external interfaces for a system of its size, as Thunderbolt 4 is accompanied by a second USB-C port, HDMI 2.1 and Mini DisplayPort, which supports up to four external monitors simultaneously.
It includes two USB-C ports with USB-C Power Delivery support of up to 140 watts, along with three USB-A ports intended for conventional peripherals, and also comes with two memory slots that support up to 128GB of DDR5-5600 RAM and two NVMe SSD slots.
There is also a PCIe 5.0 slot and a PCIe 4.0 slot, allowing for up to 8TB of total storage capacity.
This system features two display options, a 2560 x 1600 LED panel with 500 nits with a 300 Hz refresh rate, along with an alternative 2880 x 1800 OLED panel that covers the entire DCI-P3 color space.
Under the hood, it includes a 99Wh battery with USB-C charging support, but full performance requires a 240W GaN power adapter.
The InfinityBook Max 16 comes with full Linux support and offers Tuxedo OS and Ubuntu 24.04, both available with optional full disk encryption, along with Windows 11 for users who require it.
The basic configuration starts at 1,899 euros for buyers in Germany, while customers outside Europe are quoted a starting price of approximately 1,596 euros without taxes.
