Arctic Launches Senza AI 370 Fanless PC With Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and 32 GB of RAM
Arctic has announced the updated version of its fanless Senza PC with updated internals, connectivity, and a more flexible design. The Senza AI 370 uses a familiar fanless design, with the heatsink integrated into the case of what would otherwise effectively be a mini PC, but now features the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 APU and its corresponding AMD Radeon 890M iGPU. That somewhat powerful iGPU in a silent form factor is the biggest differentiator compared to other desktops, but the Senza AI 370 is also designed to fit under a desk, virtually eliminating the need for the PC to be small in the first place. According to the Arctic online store, the Senza AI 370 retails for €1,199.99, and there are no optional barebones kits available.

Arctic markets the Senza as a silent gaming and productivity machine and claims that it can operate at temperatures as low as 50° in gaming workloads—although there were no specifics on the ambient temperature or the exact games and settings tested, so take that with a pinch of salt. To its credit, the Senza AI 370 does have 32 GB of DDR5X-8000 memory and a 1 TB PCIe Gen 4 ×4 M.2 SSD. The I/O situation is also interesting, with Arctic opting for a break-away front I/O panel module that features 1 3.5 mm audio combo jack, a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port, and a USB4 Type-C port—this module is connected to the PC via a cable, so that the ports can be mounted near the front of the desk. The actual PC itself also features the following ports: 2× USB 2.0, 2× USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, 1× USB4 Type-C, 1× HDMI 2.1, 1× DisplayPort 2.1, 1× 2.5 GbE, 1× DC in, and separate 3.5 mm audio jacks for mic in and audio out. Because the PC is designed to be mounted under a desk, what would traditionally be the rear I/O is also front-facing, which should make it easier to reach.
