LET’S NOT MINCE words here: the Corsair One series is absolutely amazing and has been since its debut way back in the heady days of 2018. Is it still the best compact gaming PC we’ve seen? It sure is! Does it still pack the latest high-end components? It sure does! Is the price point still high enough to make your bank account start crying? You bet!
Yes, the Corsair One i300 is here, a hardware refresh for our favorite tiny powerhouse that comes with an eyewatering price tag of a shade under $5,000. This model has the latest Core i912900K processor from Intel, a 16-core chip with a 5.2GHz overclock, as well as an Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti and a hefty 64GB of DDR5 RAM. On paper, it’s an excellent selection of components, and the i300 leverages them all for top-of-the-range performance across all arenas.
