Part II

PSU - Corsair AX1600i

Truly excellent efficiency across a wide load, and silent operation inside most PCs, this is the finest PSU we have ever tested. Enough said.

Available to buy here.

Chassis - be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 Rev 2

Almost large enough to hold the Death Star, be quiet!'s finest full-tower chassis makes it really easy to have an amazing build with the minimum of fuss.

Available to buy here.

Monitor - AOC Q3279VWFD8

Now going by the name of Q3279VWFD8, this 31.5in successor touts significant colour enhancements, including wider coverage, improved uniformity and vastly superior out-the-box accuracy. All for less than £200!

Available to buy here.

PC Base Unit - Corsair One Elite

Corsair One remains a very good example of a small-form-factor gaming PC. Building on the foundations of the award-winning Pro, the Elite raises the bar with a hexa-core Intel Core i7-8700K processor, 32GB of memory, a fast M.2 SSD and meaty GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics.

Available to buy here.

Laptop - Microsoft Surface Book 2

In our opinion, Surface Book 2 has raised the bar for versatile laptop design and sets a high standard for other PC manufacturers to aspire to.

Available to buy here.

The Wrap

There you have it. Our favourite reviewed products for 2018. Each one has serious merit in key areas, of course, but the beauty of the PC ecosystem is that there's near-infinite choice.

I'll take a ryzen 7nm to go please 8-12 core only need apply for the job ;) Might as well support my stock price in the process of getting a new cpu :) If the gpus and apus are decent I could be in for a gpu and a few htpc cpus too. But that gpu had better be FASTER than NV offering at same price and better watts/heat/noise or nope. HTPC/cpu much more forgiving (already in for AMD 7nm cpu at least), but no go on gpu if you're slower. You have to actually WIN >60% of the games to get my gpu money with good heat/watts because if you're 50-80w higher than NV at like perf, I'll get my money back paying more for NV anyway over 5-7yrs. $50-100 is easy to make up over that time in wattage costs these days. No I won't support my own stock just because here, gpu must win or I'll pass.

But don't make me wait until xmas AMD! Get these things out the door.
