Samsung Series 7 All In One Marks Samsung’s First US Desktop [Samsung Joins The Desktop Computing Market With The Robust Series 7 All In One PC]

I hear a lot about all in one PCs these days. Seems like just about every week, someone’s bringing out a new one. And now, of all things, Samsung has joined the market with its Series 7 all in one PC.

This actually marks the first time that Samsung has released a desktop PC in the United States, which is something of an achievement in and of itself, but it really only helps that the PC they’re offering up is a pretty robust model in its own right. The Samsung Series 7 offers up a 23 inch display showing at full 1080p resolution with two finger gesture capabilities. It’s packing your choice of an Intel Core i3-2120T running at 2.6 GHz backed up by six gig of RAM, or an Intel Core i5-2390T running at 2.7 GHz and backed up by eight gigs of RAM instead. It doesn’t stop there, either–you’ll get a full terabyte of hard drive storage, a 1.3 megapixel webcam, Bluetooth, four USB 2.0 ports and a USB 3.0 port for extra speed, and a matched pair of four watt speakers. The down side here, though, is that the graphics are capped off with Intel’s integrated graphics, so you may not want to put this behind your games.

Oh, and check out the pic: that’s actually one of the more interesting form factors I’ve seen across several different all in one PC systems, and that comes as a pretty big surprise to me too. And if you want to get your hands on one of these, you’ll be able to do so for $999 for the lower end version (which is actually still pretty high end in its own right), and $1199 for the higher end version.

Considering they’ve managed to put all that into an all in one system making it effectively an unusually large tablet without touch screen capabilities, it certainly gives me hope for the Ultrabook lineup. Different animals, sure, but if Samsung can get this close surely everyone else can follow.

But what do you guys think? Does the Series 7 all in one make you want to buy Samsung’s first-ever desktop PC in the United States? Or is this a model that just can’t handle what you want done? Either way, head on down to the comments section and tell us what you think!
