Corsair One Pro i180

Remarkable footprint for an Intel X299-based PC. Compact, stylish chassis. Innovative, quiet cooling system. Excellent performance on certain workstation-class workloads. Included two-year warranty.

No Intel Xeon option. Not ISV certified. Limited opportunity for expansion or component upgrades.

Bottom Line: With a sleek post-industrial design and a tiny footprint, Corsair's One Pro i180 is a power desktop with extreme multicore grunt enough for the most CPU-intensive workloads—all while looking great on your desk.

Compact and insanely powerful ; Virtually silent

Expensive ; Hard to upgrade

The PC equivalent of the Mac Pro: powerful, relatively small, easy on the eye and monstrously pricey. If you're tempted, you won't be disappointed.

Content creation professionals and pro-sumers with little desk space, take note. If you need serious computing muscle for tasks like high-end media production, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better option than Corsair’s top-end One Pro i180.
