Samsung is Taking the Curve to PCs; Announces All-In-One ATIV One 7 Ahead Of CES

Samsung is giving a boost to its PC and laptop segment with new and cutting edge designs and technology. Samsung unveiled its latest all-in-one PC on Tuesday featuring a 27-inch Full HD curved display.

The arched design in the ATIV One 7 PC is borrowed from Samsung's successful curved 4K TVs, monitors and smartphones. Samsung will demonstrate the ATIV One 7 at the upcoming CES 2015 event next month.

Design

The artistic curved design not only gives clear view from wide angles, but also makes the screen look bigger than 27 inches. Suitable for both gaming and entertainment, the Samsung ATIV One 7 is built using a TN panel instead of IPS technology. The PC sports a stylish and premium look with sleek design, metallic frame and a complimentary stand.

Features and Specifications

Owners of Samsung smartphones can take advantage of ATIV One 7's SideSync software to make and receive phone calls and text messages right from the PC. Users can also mirror the smartphone screen on the computer and control it seamlessly.

Non-Samsung smartphone owners can also stay connected with the new all-in-one to play music anytime, even when the PC is off.

Additionally, the machine runs Windows 8.1 OS and features 4 USB ports, HDMI in/out ports and an SD card reader.
