ArtPC Pulse: Samsung’s Cylindrical PC

Posted on by

Between Apple, HP and others, you have your choice of cylindrical shaped desktop PCs. Samsung now has a round PC of its own. It’s called the ArtPC Pulse, and as you may have noticed, it looks a bit like the current-generation Mac Pro, albeit not quite as minimal.

The ArtPC is different though, since it is intended for everyday home use – and it runs Windows 10. That thing sticking out of the top is a 360-degree Harman Kardon speaker with ambient lighting. Specs include a 256GB solid-state drive, a 2.7GHz Core i5, 8GB of RAM and Radeon RX 460 graphics. Samsung will offer some expansion modules to beef things up a bit.

In base configuration, the system sells for $1,200(USD), largely thanks to the design and that speaker on top, otherwise this would have come in much cheaper. This desktop ships on October 28th if you are interested.

Ever Gassed a Wheel?

Posted on by

Ever thought how tiresome it is to roll a gas cylinder? Be it the basic LPG or an oxygen tank, a fully loaded cylinder is heavy and awkward to spin around. The Roll Cylinder features a wheel on the bottom, which makes spinning easy. Designed with a wider bottom and a tapered top, the redesign increases safety and decreases accident rates. And yes, efficient transportation too!

Definite Technology Sound Cylinder: Sound in the Round

Posted on by

When my iPad’s sound needs an extra boost, which happens from time to time, I just use an everyday Bluetooth speaker. If that’s not enough, and you want something specifically-designed for your iPad or MacBook, then check out the Sound Cylinder.

Definite Technology has been making audiophile gear since the 1990s. Their Sound Cylinder is a compact sound bar designed specifically for your Mac gear. It’s aesthetically pleasing, with a perforated aluminum housing, a magnesium alloy kickstand, with an innovative grip mechanism that’s made to fit an iPad. This mechanism also clips onto other flat devices such as laptop screens and other non-Apple tablets.

The Cylinder has two forward firing 32mm drivers that give good sound from mid to high range. There’s a 43mm side firing driver that handles the lows. It’s made to fit an iPad, so you can even dock it. Naturally, it connects via Bluetooth, so it can work with just about any mobile device. If it doesn’t, there’s a 3.5mm jack just in case. Battery life for the wireless speaker is rated at 10 hours, and it charges up via a microUSB connector.
