naturally sits on top of the desk featuring a compact, space-efficient
360-degree design and is 85 percent smaller than traditional tower PCs at 17.3
x 16.8 x 25.9cm. The desktop design is built around the central audio system
and finished with premium materials including acoustic fabric engineered for
room filling sound. A parabolic reflector on top of the PC reflects the sound
coming from the speaker grille in parallel from all directions and acts as an
outlet vent for hot air to come out. The 360 Degree Multi-Directional
Reflective Audio delivers a crisp audio profile at all frequencies and is tuned
by B&O Play for amazing sound whether listening to mid, high or low ranges.

houses three main zones for components: the motherboard on one side, the hard
drive on the second side and thermals on the third side. The thermal design
uses heat pipes to extract heat from the motherboard and the graphics card to
push out the top of the PC to keep the device running cool.
