This all-in-one desktop takes the next technological leap, leveraging the capabilities of 5G to bring forth an all-in-one PC design that uses cloud streaming to run high-end software remotely.
The ultra-thin 24-inch iMac is a desirable piece of technology that demands a premium price. The closest competition to this niche PC form factor is the Acer Aspire S 24 or the HP Envy all-in-one computer line-up. So while there is always Apple, there is a definite premium market that Windows PC manufacturers can cash in, leaving Apple to push even more for their upcoming iMac models.
The core idea behind FLOW by Seong Yong Kim is the controlling capability of a high-performance PC using real-time remote streaming courtesy of the 5G technology. It is much like Google’s Stadia cloud gaming platform that relies on ultra-fast connectivity speed to run games on high-end hardware on remote servers without the need to purchase an expensive graphics card, CPU, or RAM physically. FLOW can run resource-heavy photo and video editing software, graphics-intensive games, music composition applications, and more – allowing content creators to retain their original hardware.

Christened 5G Workstation FLOW, this PC is capable of running resource-heavy photo and video editing software, graphics-intensive games, music composition applications, or anything that requires high-end CPU and GPU processing – remotely from the servers without any issues. Seong has designed the FLOW PC keeping in mind content creators who are constantly pushed to upgrade their hardware to meet the requirements of ever-evolving applications.
In addition to this, FLOW is much more than just a beautiful display with its in-built height-adjustable mount arm stand. The monitor can extend into a multi-monitor configuration by simply clipping the extra monitors to the main panel. The mounting arm has an extending LED bar that doubles as a wireless charger for gadgets and displays real-time widget information such as weather updates, incoming messages on your phone, or prompts for software updates. The wireless keyboard comes with USB ports for quick wired charging needs.
There is an accompanying remote and a trackpad in themed color for quick access to favorite applications to complete the ecosystem. Overall, this idea of making the metamorphosis towards cloud-oriented PC services is something I like already!
