This Linux mini PC fits in a 12cm footprint, yet Tuxedo says it can take 128GB of RAM
Tuxedo’s latest Linux desktop is small enough to sit behind a monitor, but its claimed memory ceiling belongs closer to a workstation. The Nano Pro Gen15 uses Intel’s Core Ultra X7 358H processor and, according to Tuxedo, supports up to 128GB of upgradeable DDR5 RAM.
The little PC measures 110 × 117.5 × 49mm and weighs about 1kg. It comes with Tuxedo OS or Ubuntu, with Windows 11 also available, and has space for two SSDs as well as two RAM modules.
There is an important detail for buyers considering the top memory configuration: Intel’s published specification for the 358H lists a 96GB maximum. Tuxedo advertises 128GB for this system; the two figures do not match, so buyers should check the configuration with the manufacturer before ordering.

Two memory slots and room for more storage
Inside the Nano Pro Gen15 is a 16-core Panther Lake processor with integrated Intel Arc B390 graphics. The memory slots accept SO-DIMMs rather than soldered-only RAM, and Tuxedo recommends matching modules for dual-channel operation, particularly for graphics performance.
The first M.2 slot accepts 2242 or 2280 NVMe drives over PCIe 5.0 x4; the second takes a shorter 2242 drive over PCIe 4.0 x4. Tuxedo says the base plate is held by four screws, providing access to memory and storage for upgrades.
There is a mismatch in the published platform details as well as capacity: Intel lists LPDDR5X and up to 96GB for the 358H, while Tuxedo specifies DDR5 SO-DIMMs and up to 128GB. The available documents do not explain that difference.

Two Ethernet ports and two HDMI outputs
For a machine this small, there are plenty of ways to connect it. The front includes a USB4 port with DisplayPort support, another USB-C port and a USB-A port. At the back are two HDMI outputs, two more USB-A ports and two 2.5Gb Ethernet connections.
The two HDMI ports have different limits: Tuxedo lists 4K at 60Hz for HDMI 2.0b and 4K at 120Hz for HDMI 2.1. Check which port you use if you have a high-refresh-rate display.
The integrated graphics are intended for lighter gaming as well as everyday work, but Tuxedo’s descriptions are manufacturer claims, not independent performance tests. Game compatibility and frame rates will depend on the title and settings.
Pricing starts with 16GB, not 128GB
Tuxedo says the base system starts at €1,470 before VAT and import duties, with 16GB of RAM, a 500GB SSD and Tuxedo OS. The company is taking preorders and expects shipments to begin in mid-November; taxes, shipping and upgraded components will increase the final cost.
