During our adventures on the show floor at CES 2019, in Samsung’s massive floorspace, we got to see both a new gaming desktop and laptop that boasted some great specifications and designs. Coming from the Odyssey line, both of these products are squarely aimed at the gaming market, and are great compliments to Samsung’s already great lineup of gaming displays.
Desktop Odyssey
The Desktop Odyssey has a great looking formfactor, with a sloped back front panel that is home to your standard layout of I/O ports.
The right side of the box has a red illuminated Odyssey logo, while the left side’s panel has a chromed logo.
