It appears like a gaming PC, however no. That is Edifier’s latest speaker

Edifier is the go-to selection for “bookshelf” audio system that sit on both facet of your desktop PC’s monitor as an alternative of on a bookshelf. The model is aware of it’s common with PC players, which might be why its latest design appears uncannily like a gaming PC itself. The so-called HUAZAI New Cyber Speaker is, nicely, a speaker… regardless of that includes a clear housing and plenty of fake laptop elements inside.

Yeah, this can be a unusual one. When it comes to type issue, the entire 2.1 unit is principally a increase field or maybe an particularly giant speaker bar. That backside part homes a pair of 52mm drivers and a 100mm woofer, a 60-watt amp, and a pair of passive radiators. Up prime is a 2.8-inch display over the realm the place a “CPU” could be if this was a PC (once more, that is not a PC), and numerous blocks and LED-bedecked sections roughly mimic RAM DIMMs, SSDs, followers, and GPUs sitting on prime of a motherboard. These issues that appear like coolant strains are, allegedly, braided speaker cables.

In accordance with Notebookcheck, the speaker unit will be linked by way of USB, commonplace auxiliary cable, or Bluetooth, and it doubles as a USB-C or USB-A charger at as much as 35 watts. Set to launch in black or white colorways—however solely in China for the second—the New Cyber mannequin will price 1,499 yuan (about $210 USD at present alternate charges). There’s no indication of when (or if) it should come to different markets.

I suppose I may see this working as an accent piece for a “battlestation” setup you probably have a gaming laptop computer however really need one thing on the facet of your desk that appears like a cyberpunk fish tank? However then you definately’d lose plenty of the separation in a stereo setup, which is fairly necessary should you’re really utilizing it for gaming or media. I dunno. It appears cool, or not less than fascinating, and it’s not ridiculously overpriced for the {hardware} and bling… although there’s no telling what the value would possibly stretch to in different markets, particularly the tariff-wracked US.
