Samsung Ativ One 7 Curved All-in-one Available March 8
Want a new way to stay ahead of the curve? Samsung's Ativ One 7 Curved, the industry's first curved all-in-one PC, will be available for sale starting March 8, and will set you back $1,300. You can pick one up at Best Buy (in stores and online).
First announced at CES this year, the Samsung Ativ One 7 Curved is a 27-inch Windows 8.1 PC powered by Intel's Core i5 and 8GB of RAM. It also sports two USB 3.0, two USB 2.0, Ethernet, HDMI in, HDMI out and coaxial connections to let the machine act as a monitor for your gaming console or set-top box.

We were impressed by the One 7 Curved's full HD display during our time with it, and enjoyed its rich color and detail in a short clip from the film Rio. The One 7 Curved also packs some nifty features, such as Music Play, which lets the device act as a Bluetooth speaker even when it is in sleep mode. With Samsung's SideSync 3.0 software preloaded, you can also pull up and control your Samsung smartphone, letting you make and receive Wi-Fi calls from the big screen.
This isn't Samsung's first curved device. The Korean electronics giant has made televisions and phones with curved displays, most notably in its Galaxy Note Edge phablet in 2014 and the Galaxy S6 Edge this year.
