Despite the back and forth court trials of Samsung with Apple for the past years and the latest issue involving Samsung Note 7, Samsung goes on. Amazon has a leaked listing of Samsung desktop PC. Dubbed as ArtPC Pulse, the tower PC comes in cylindrical shape.
Samsung ArtPC Pulse is an Apple Mac Pro inspired PC. It took about three years for Samsung to copy it. In fact, HP's Pavilion Wave has released its own version ahead of Samsung's ArtPC Pulse. HP's release of their pc was mistaken to be a Bluetooth speaker and a newer and cooler version of Apple's Mac Pro

The ArtPC Pulse measures 5.5 inches diameter and 12.2 inches tall with circular environmental light on top of the case with a Harmon Kardon 360-degree Omni-directional unit. This is slightly slimmer and taller compared to Apple Mac Pro measuring 6.6 inches in diameter and 9.9 inches tall. The price on the other hand is comparably less expensive than the Mac Pro.
Although both appear to be cylindrical in shape, Mac Pro has round curve at the top while the ArtPC Pulse looks more like a bin.
