ARCTIC Senza Under-Desk PC is a fully passive-cooled PC that saves space on your desk, leaving your setup neat and clean.
ARCTIC Introduces Senza, Powered by AMD Ryzen 5000G Series; Supports up to Quad Monitor Setup
The popular PC cooling solution manufacturer, ARCTIC, has designed a new PC called Senza, which, unlike regular desktop PCs, goes right underneath your desk. Senza is an “under-desk” PC that is designed for a fully hidden setup and doesn’t require any space on the top of your desk or any of its shelves.
Senza resembles a network switch from the outside and measures 282mm in weight, 618mm in length, and about 120mm in height. The thickness isn’t yet publicly unknown, but it should be around 1.5 inches. Senza runs on Ryzen 5000G processors and offers three different APU options to choose from: Ryzen 5 5500GT, Ryzen 7 5700G, and Ryzen 5700G Pro.
The system is fully silent and deploys a completely passive cooling solution that keeps it noise-less. The configuration is hosted in the middle on a small custom motherboard that has a desktop AM4 socket and regular DIMMs for memory. The rest of the PC is a giant heatsink with copper heat pipes for faster heat dissipation.
The system brings 32 GB of DDR4 memory and 1 TB of NVMe SSD out of the box and has decent connectivity, featuring 2.5G LAN, Wi-Fi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.3. Wired connectivity on the Senza is a bit different from regular desktop PCs where the connectivity ports on the front are accessed via a dedicated panel.
This panel needs to be attached underneath the desk, near the front for easy access, and gives you ports like USB Type A, and USB Type C, a headphone jack, and power and reset buttons. Other connectivity ports reside at the back of the Senza machine itself and, through proper cable routing and management, can be used for connecting various devices and peripherals neatly. These ports include 2x USB 3.2, 2x USB 2.0, Audio in/out jack, HDMI 2.0, and DP 1.2.
It appears that the Senza is specifically designed for the EU region as it is equipped with either Windows 11 Home N or Pro N operating system. This OS doesn’t feature some media apps natively, like Windows Media Player, Skype, and other Video and Music apps. However, one can access these from Microsoft via the Media Feature Pack.
Senza will be available for both personal and commercial usage. Pricing and date of availability of the ARCTIC Senza are unknown at the moment.
