Please do the comparison right: the price of the tuxedo is including 19% tax,
which you do not have to pay if you don't live in Germany (you need to add
your country's import tax). The screen of the tuxedo is way better and the
laptop is 250g lighter, newer processor, asf. These machines are too different
to state Tuxedo is overpriced. Please find machines with the same specs and
compare the price of those. You'll find the difference is much less than you
try to make us think.

On the other hand if you do not want to support companies that care about
Linux, switching off Intel ME, asf. with a few extra dollars, the world will
never change.

Regards, Adrian.

PS: System76, Tuxedo and a few others sell some models which are the same
devices of the same factory.
