Samsung ATIV One 7 Curved all-in-one PC
We've seen quite a few curved monitors and gadgets, even bendable television sets of all things, but full computers have been unavailable, until now. Something that Samsung believes should change.
Samsung may be locked in a feud with LG, but that isn't stopping it from going about its business as usual. And it so happens that we're in a time when “business as usual” means more work than at other times.
The Consumer Electronics Show is about to happen, set to take place in Las Vegas, Nevada, between January 6 and January 9.
At CES 2015, Samsung will reveal the ATIV One 7 Curved All-in-One personal computer. That's right, not a curved monitor or curved TV, but a full PC.
The ATIV One 7 Curved PC
As the first of its kind, it has to set a standard which all others will need to live up to. Especially if LG also launches something like it at CES 2015.
We have no evidence that this is set to happen, but Samsung and LG always try to match each other's product releases. Well, when they're not
vandalizing them anyway.
The ATIV One 7 Curved has an Intel Core i5 CPU at its figurative center, backed by 8 GB of DDR3L memory (low profile RAM as it were, like in laptops). One hard disk drive of 1 TB offers storage space.
There is no discrete GPU because the Intel CPU has its own iGP, called HD Graphics 5500. Not the best thing in the world, but sufficient if you're not set on playing any games.
Which should fit the bill just right for the product, since it's more intended for films and other multimedia capabilities, as well as web surfing.
Audio is covered by two 10W stereo speakers (Dolby Surround), while video interaction is possible thanks to a 1080p Full HDWeb video camera.
All in all, the ATIV One 7 Curved all-in-one PC measures 25.15 x 1.56 x 15.08 inches / 638 x 39 x 383 mm and weighs 24.45 pounds / 11.09 kilos.
Availability and pricing
The 27-inch Samsung ATIV One 7 Curved all-in-one PC has a price of $1,300 / €1,300 (no matter what exchange rates say) and ships with SideSync 3.0 software (connectivity supplement). Pre-orders will open this quarter (Q1 2015).
Also, look forward to seeing it during CES 2015 in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, we'll keep an eye out for anything else of this nature.

Immersive curved design
The curved design of the new Samsung ATIV One 7 offers a unique entertainment perspective and realistically immersive gaming experience. It draws users in and brings details to life on the Full HD panel, while the 4000R curvature makes the screen feel even larger than its already ample 27-inches. Wide viewing angles (178 degrees) make it easy to enjoy the gorgeous screen from almost anywhere in the room without having to shift focus.
To match its sharp, curved display, the PC features a sleek, metallic deco frame and complimentary stand that brings premium design right to any desk.
Powerful and impressive multimedia capabilities
The multimedia features of the ATIV One 7 Curved don't end with its stunning display. It was engineered to offer best-in-class sound, with two dynamic 10W stereo speakers, a surround sound experience with Dolby Sound Effects, and lossless audio transmission through APT-X technology. For movie and game enthusiasts, the Intel Core i5 Processor and 8GB of memory let users keep up with fast moving graphics, allowing them to make the most of the amazing screen and unparalleled sound.
Bluetooth Music Play 3.0 allows users to instantly connect and play music from their smartphone through the ATIV One 7 Curved speakers, even if the PC is off. With this feature, consumers can quickly and easily enjoy music saved on their smartphones in high-quality sound from anywhere in the home.
Samsung's new All-In-One features a camera that enables users to video conference in Full HD. HDMI in and out ports allow for easy connections to game consoles and other content sources, while integrated graphics (Intel HD Graphics 5500) ensure smooth rendering of games, videos and other content.
Advanced connectivity and performance
Thanks to Samsung's unique SideSync 3.0 software, staying connected is easy. Through SideSync 3.0, ATIV One 7 Curved users can receive phone calls and text messages forwarded from their Samsung smartphone right to their PC. Users can also control their smartphone from their PC screen, mouse and keyboard through SideSync 3.0's sharing mode, as well as share content between devices with Samsung Link 2.0. This means that users can save all of their photos, videos, music and more in the ATIV One 7 Curved's ample 1TB flash drive, and then easily access it from other devices from anywhere in the home.
The 27-inch Samsung ATIV One 7 Curved will be available for pre-order beginning Q1 2015 for an MSRP of $1,299.99.
