Just as an anecdotal counterpoint to all the negative reviews here: I have a 2015 Tuxedo notebook that is still going strong, and never had any issue with it. There is quite a bit of fan noise, which I don't hear as I'm typically using a noise-cancelling headset anyway. The keyboard is rather flimsy and the build quality is definitely not on par with Dell XPS or a T-series Lenovo, at least for this model: in my use case (using external keyboard and monitor 99% of the time) this is not an issue, so I'm (still) quite happy with it. As others have already said, the pricing is hard to beat and its Ubuntu setups are well configured.

I also had very positive interactions with their support staff; very friendly and knowledgeable. I have yet to see a piece of Tuxedo hardware fail, and know several people who are using their hardware (both laptops and workstations, which are even nicer and have a much better build quality IMO).
