INSIGHT

The S3 was an incredibly complex balance of size, thermal constraints, and performance requirements. Emitting nearly 80 watts in such a small package meant that every millimeter of the exterior housing needed to act as a heat sink (which draws away heat from internal components). This leaves very little room for cosmetic treatments. Fortunately, Mighty Studios rose to the challenge by creating a defining “frame” of polished edges around the perimeter of the device. This design element gave the device a robust and precise aesthetic, without sacrificing the required performance characteristics.
