Crafted to deliver an entirely new AIO PC experience, it is driven by a 3rd generation Intel Core i7 processor, 8GB RAM, dedicated AMD Radeon HD graphics and a WQHD display with resolution of 2560×1440.

"The AIO PC market carries enormous potential to grow by taking convergence technologies to the next level," said Mike van Lier, business leader for IT Solutions at Samsung South Africa. "It lives up to the promise of all-in-one, incorporating every hardware and software feature that offers a maximised home entertainment experience."

With the new Windows 8 platform, demand for AIO PCs is expected to increase further as they will have stronger and more convenient features and are expected to largely replace the existing desktop PC.

To provide such user benefits, the company has perfected not only the hardware but also its software aspects to offer new experiences.

Intuitive touch function and wider view

For an unlimited premium user experience, Series 7 has been equipped with a 10-finger multi-touch screen, a technological leap in interactivity, surpassing traditional two-finger multi-touch by providing full touch control using all ten fingers. Its enhanced sensitivity enables users to enjoy the full capabilities of the latest entertainment applications or perform complicated content editing. Pinch to zoom on content or rotate images, and scroll through pages with complete ease using 10 multi-touch functions.

To enjoy its full capabilities as a home entertainment system, the new AIO PC has a viewing angle of 178 degrees vertically and horizontally, which makes watching a movie with friends a pleasure.

Gesture adds distance control

To expand user experience further, the new AIO PC has five hand gesture recognition features that conveniently let users control the device with just a flick of the wrist from up to a meter away, perfect for enjoying home entertainment. Swipe right or left to turn the pages of an e-book, or rotate your palm clockwise or counter-clockwise to change the volume while watching a movie. Close your hand to click on an option in a programme and stop watching a movie by just waving your hands. The option of controlling and interacting with the device through motion control is breaking the physical boundaries between the consumer and screen and is offering more convenience and enriching the consumers' experience.

True performer

Power and performance are ensured with a 3rd generation Intel Core i7 processor and 8GB RAM. A powerful AMD Radeon HD 7850M graphics processor, Blu-ray drive and up to 1TB HDD and 64GB SSD ensure that content in a wide array of formats is readily available, enabling seamless playback, editing, creating and saving of content.

The new device is equipped with 14-Watt speakers, while Tweeter and Dolby sound deliver rich sound quality in any environment.

The WQHD display, featuring 2560 x 1440 resolution, delivers a crisp, clear and all-encompassing viewing experience. Users are now able to fit more windows into a single screen without compromising on scale. Browsing online while simultaneously watching a movie is no longer an issue.

It will be available from December 2012 through Samsung Brand Stores and leading retailers at a recommended retail price of R14 999.
