Samsung Quietly Launches ArtPC Pulse



With all the fires Samsung is currently fighting, it perhaps comes as no surprise it
has decided to quietly unveil its latest launch - a compact modular desktop PC
called the ArtPC Pulse. There is no denying the fact that desktop PCs have faced
a decline in demand over last few years. Moreover, PC users have now started
 showing interest in assembling their own PCs using components of their choice.
These reasons have forced desktop PC manufacturers to come out with modular
PCs that allow users to customise components of their build as per their wish.
And the latest to join this list is Samsung.
Now available for pre-orders via Amazon in the US, the Samsung ArtPC Pulse will
 become available from October 28. It has a form factor that's arguably similar to
Apple's Mac Pro PC, with a full-metal cylindrical body design. It bears a 360-degree
 omni-directional speaker built by Harmon Kardon on board. The users can easily
 customise their unit with the help of expansion modules. In its Amazon listing of
the product, the company has mentioned that an optional 1TB HDD module is
available separately for the PC.
Samsung's compact desktop PC is 10.7-inch tall, 5.5-inch wide, and comes with
 circular ambient lighting. Currently, there are two configurations for the ArtPC
Pulse listed on Amazon selling for $1,199 (roughly Rs. 80,000) and $1,600
(roughly Rs. 1.07 lakhs).
The cheaper configuration comes with 2.7GHz Intel Core i5 processor (Skylake),
 8GB of DDR4 RAM, 2GB AMD Radeon RX 460 graphics card, a 256GB SSD, a
 USB Type-C port, and four other USB ports. The base model of the ArtPC Pulse
 further comes preloaded with Windows 10 home signature edition.

The $1,599 variant of the PC comes with 3.4GHz Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB
RAM, and 1TB SATA HDD apart from a 256GB SSD. This variant is 5.5-inch wide
and 12.2-inch tall. Most of the other specification of this variant are same as that
 on the $1,199 variant.
