Wrap your mind around the bold curve in Samsung’s shapely Ativ One 7 all-in-one

As the market towards all-in-one solutions continues to heat up, companies from around the globe are jumping on the train with their latest innovations that provide consumers with everything they need in a single, flush, and deliciously futuristic slate of glass and circuitry.

Samsung’s new entry in this competitive arena is the curvaceous ATIV One 7. Most of what we know about the ATIV One was already apparent in last year’s original design, but what sets this iteration apart is its new (and gorgeous) curved display.

The system will feature a 27″ 1080p panel powered by a standard internal Intel HD Graphics 5000 chip. Above the screen you’ll find a 1080p full HD webcam staring back at you, hugged closely by a pair of Dolby Surround speakers on either side.

A one terabyte hybrid hard drive picks up any storage slack you might need to work with, alongside eight gigabytes of DDR3 RAM, and an Intel Core i5 processor (exact model is still under Intel’s embargo), all running a full version of Windows 8.1. Connectivity options include two USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.0, and a 3-in-1 SD/SDHC/SDXC slot for expanded memory.

Another of the One’s standout features is Samsung’s hand gesture recognition, which automatically responds to up to 5 different hand-waving motions that can do everything from launch specific applications, to control navigation and scroll functions while browsing the web.

Samsung says we can expect the ATIV One Curved to hit shelves sometime in the early half of Q1 2015 at $1,299.99 base MSRP.

Trying to buy a GPU in 2023 almost makes me miss the shortage
Two AMD Radeon RX 7000 graphics cards on a pink surface.

The days of the GPU shortage are long over, but somehow, buying a GPU is harder than ever -- and that sentiment has very little to do with stock levels. It's just that there are no obvious candidates when shopping anymore.

In a generation where no single GPU stands out as the single best graphics card, it's hard to jump on board with the latest from AMD and Nvidia. I don't want to see another GPU shortage, but the state of the graphics card market is far from where it should be.
This generation is all over the place

While the laptop industry continues to move toward 14-inch laptops and larger, the 13-inch laptop remains an important category. One of the best is the Apple MacBook Air M2, with an extremely thin and well-built chassis, great performance, and incredibly long battery life.

Lenovo has recently introduced the third generation of its ThinkPad X1 Nano, one of the lightest laptops we've tested and a good performer as well. It's stiff competition, but which of these two diminutive laptops stands apart?
