If you're looking for a traditional tower desktop at CES 2014, you're not
going to find many, outside of a handful of business boxes and the occasional
custom gaming rig. What you will find for desktops, however, is a bunch of what
we call all-in-one desktops, which combine a display, stand, and internal
components into a single monolithic unit.
Samsung's entry is the Ativ One 7 (2014 Edition). That name doesn't give you
much of a hint as to the system's specs, most importantly that it's a 24-inch
touch screen system.
The look is a bit different from other Ativ PCs, with a white, rounded-edge
design Samsung says is inspired by the popular Galaxy line of products (I'm not
sure why they don't just call it the Galaxy PC or something). Like most current
all-in-one systems, the chassis has an HDMI input, which allows you to use the
1080p display as a standalone screen for external sources, such as a cable box
or game console, and the screen has an anti-reflective coating in addition to a
very wide viewing angle.

Samsung has enabled a few recent systems, including this one, to interact
seamlessly with other Samsung ecosystem devices, including phones and tablets.
Using the Samsung Link software, the One 7 can be a cloud hub, streaming local
content to other Samsung devices, and BT Music Play 2.0 allows you to use the
speakers for music, even when the computer is powered off.
Internally, no surprises. Current-gen Intel Core i3/i5 processors, integrated
Intel graphics, and a combo hard drive with a 1TB HDD and 128GB SSD.
We don't currently have a release date or price for the Ativ One 7, but will
offer an update when that's available.
