These components are provided in three new configurations with a starting price of $2,300, and fall under the company’s “Corsair One Pro” umbrella. They join four other current “vanilla” and “pro” configurations with a starting price of $1,800.

Here are all seven available desktops:

The memory used in Corsair’s PC gaming desktops is based on the company’s Vengeance LPX DDR4 sticks. Designed for overclocking, these memory modules include a heatspreader made from pure aluminum to keep those circuits running optimally, and a printed circuit board designed to properly manage the heat. On their own, Corsair’s 16GB kit running at 2,400MHz can cost $170 while the 32GB kit can cost $300.

Meanwhile, product images show that the Corsair One desktops rely on the company’s own SF400 and SF500 power supplies, which are underpowered based on Nvidia’s suggestions for its GTX 1080 and GTX 1080 Ti cards. For the GTX 1080 Ti graphics chip, Nvidia suggests the use of a 600-watt power supply given that the card consumes 250 watts on its own. For the vanilla GTX 1080 card, Nvidia suggests a 500-watt power supply (180-watt usage). That said, there doesn’t appear to be any way to choose a better power supply option for Corsair’s desktops.

“The sleek, aircraft-grade aluminum chassis is built with painstaking attention to detail, and extremely resistant to surface wear,” the company states. “Featuring a previously impossible small footprint, and subtle ambient lighting details, Corsair One is at home in any environment.”

As for the rest of the specifications, the desktops provide these features:

Ports (back): 1x PS/2 Port
2x USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-A
3x USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-A
1x USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-C
1x Gigabit Ethernet
1x HDMI
2x DisplayPort
5x Audio jacks
2x Wi-Fi antenna jacks
1x S/PDIF audio
Ports (front): 1x HDMI 2.0
1x USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-A
Connectivity: Wireless AC
Bluetooth 4.2
Form factor: Mini-Tower
CPU cooling: Liquid
GPU cooling: Liquid
Dimensions: 7.87 x 6.92 x 14.96 inches
Weight: 16.31 pounds
Case materials: Steel
Bead-blasted aluminum
Case color: Black

As the base specifications show, Corsair’s desktop provides an HDMI port and a USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-A port on the front for easy virtual reality headset connectivity (although for the HTC Vive, you’re better off connecting the link box to the back). Both the processor and graphics card are liquid cooled, too, providing a highly quiet environment while the computer idles.

It looks like Claude is getting an “extended thinking” feature

Screenshots from AI leaker CHOI have dropped on X today, showing a new "extended thinking" toggle and a web search tool on the Claude mobile app. There's no information yet about how these features will work or when they're coming, but it looks like the extended thinking feature will be for Pro users only.

Apple’s iPhone 16e is here, and it’s making me frustrated about the MacBook
A group of iPhone 16e phones arranged in a pattern.

The new iPhone 16e is here, and it’s the biggest revamp in the history of Apple’s affordable iPhone line. With Face ID security, an A18 chip and USB-C connectivity, it’s an overhaul that touches almost every part of the device.

Perhaps the most momentous change, though, is the introduction of a large, 6.1-inch OLED display. This is the first time the now-renamed iPhone SE has had an all-screen front face, and it’s also the first time it’s been infused with OLED technology.

Who’s the new mid-range gaming king? RTX 5070, or RX 9070?
The RTX 5070 in a graphic.

Let's be real. As much as we might get excited about the RTX 5080's gaming chops and the sheer ridiculousness of the RTX 5090, but almost nobody is going to actually buy these cards. The most popular GPUs by far are the more mid-range alternatives, with the XX70 series being a great cross-section between affordability and aspiration. Most people buy an XX60 card, but if you can buy an XX70, you will. That's why the RTX 5070 and RX 9070 are two of the most enticing cards of 2025.

How will they perform? How much will they cost? Which is the better buy? We can't know for sure until we've had enough hands on time with them, but until then, here's how they shake out with what we know so far.
Pricing and availability
Neither of these cards are available at the time of writing. However, we have a launch date and suggested retail price for the RTX 5070. It's set to launch on March 5, with Nvidia pushing for a price tag of $550. That seems unlikely to last long after launch, though, as to date all 50-series cards have sold out almost immediately at launch and prices have risen astronomically in turn as scalpers run wild.
