Samsung throws a curveball with ATIV One 7 Curved, available March 8th

Samsung will begin selling the ATIV One 7 Curved All-in-One PC on March 8

Samsung announced today that it will begin selling its ATIV One 7 Curved All-in-One PC on March 8th for $1,299.99. The ATIV One 7 Curved is the first product of its kind, an all-in-one PC with a curved screen. The company is marketing the system towards movie enthusiasts and anyone who wants a large, sleek display in a system boasting minimalist design.

“The arched display of the ATIV One 7, along with top-of-the-line multimedia capabilities for rich sound and easy content sharing across devices, make this model stand out from the rest as the ultimate entertainment desktop,” said Gary Riding, senior vice president of mobile computing marketing at Samsung Electronics America, when the product was announced in December 2014. “With the ATIV One 7 Curved, Samsung has created a PC that exceeds consumers’ needs, while offering a stunning design that stands out in any home or small office.”

The curved design of the product is meant to provide a unique entertainment perspective and a more realistic gaming experience. The screen itself will be 27 inches and boast 1080p resolution. In this respect, it’s extremely similar to the Samsung SD590C monitor we recently reviewed.

The ATIV One 7 Curved has an Intel Core i5 Processor and 8GB of memory. It also comes with 10-watt stereo speakers, Dolby Sound Effects, and loss-less audio transmission through APT-X technology. Bluetooth Music Play 3.0 allows users to stream music from their smartphone, and the computer will include Samsung’s SideSync 3.0 software. This lets users receive phone calls and texts directly on the PC if they have a compatible Samsung phone. You won’t have to buy a camera for the ATIV One 7 Curved, either.  A 1080p webcam rounds out the default specifications.

AMD’s RDNA 4 may surprise us in more ways than one
AMD RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT graphics cards.

Thanks to all the leaks, I thought I knew what to expect with AMD's upcoming RDNA 4. It turns out I may have been wrong on more than one account.

The latest leaks reveal that AMD's upcoming best graphics card may not be called the RX 8800 XT, as most leakers predicted, but will instead be referred to as the  RX 9070 XT. In addition, the first leaked benchmark of the GPU gives us a glimpse into the kind of performance we can expect, which could turn out to be a bit of a letdown.

This futuristic mechanical keyboard will set you back an eye-watering $1,600
Hands typing on The Icebreaker keyboard.

I've complained plenty about how some of the best gaming keyboards are too expensive, from the Razer Black Widow V4 75% to the Wooting 80HE, but nothing comes remotely close to The Icebreaker. Announced nearly a year ago by Serene Industries, The Icebreaker is unlike any keyboard I've ever seen -- and it's priced accordingly at $1,600. Plus shipping, of course.

What could justify such an extravagant price? Aluminum, it turns out. The keyboard is constructed of one single block of 6061 aluminum in what Serene Industries calls an "unorthodox wedge form." As if that wasn't enough metal, the keycaps are also made of aluminum, and Serene says they include "about 800" micro-perforations that allow the LED backlight of the keyboard to shine through.

Google one-ups Microsoft by making chats easier to transfer
Google Spaces in Google Chat on a MacBook.

In a recent blog post, Google announced that it is making it easier for admins to migrate from Microsoft Teams to Google Chat to reduce downtime. Admins can easily do this within the Google Chat migration menu and connect to opposing Microsoft accounts to transfer Teams data.

Google gave step-by-step instructions for admins on how to transfer the messages. Admins need to connect to their Microsoft account and upload a CSV of the Teams from where they transfer the messages. From there, it requires just entering a starting date for messages to be migrated from Teams and clicking Star migration. Once it's complete, it'll make the migrated space, messages, and conversation data available to Google Workspace users.
