With days, a bunch of processors and graphics cards are being launched. So, choosing the perfect GPU and processor may confuse you. Also, a gaming PC requires a good amount of cooling which you may skip and make your system a laggy one…

From Ryzen 2400G to 8th Gen Processors, XRIG has all types of processors under its hood. Now you might ask why XRIG Custom PC?
Well, here are the reasons:
The Modern Desktop
The idea was to create the ideal PC for modern power users – Enthusiasts, Content Creators, and Gamers. The X1 is an expression of XRIG’s vision. Welcome to the Modern Desktop.
..in a Bag!
In the post-smartphone era, we expect technology to be mobile. The desktop is no exception, so they made the X1 portable and designed a compact carry-case for those always on the move.
Uncompromising performance.
Looks can be deceiving with the X1, utilizing a desktop-grade full-size NVIDIA Geforce GTX GPU and an Intel Core or AMD Ryzen desktop processor, achieve full tower performance in a portable, small form factor PC.
Optimised Thermal Cooling
Smaller the PC, the less space for cooling.
In order to solve this challenge, we worked with legendary cooling experts Noctua.
An optimized thermal pathway combined with a high-performance fan ensures no throttling under load.
Custom Paintjob
Automotive grade paint jobs by the best in the industry. Choose any color, pattern or even a custom design and they’ll create an X1 that is uniquely yours.
In-House Support
XRIG is a private boutique company, they’re the ones who design and build our computers. They’re also the ones providing the aftersales support…
Well, these were few reasons why you can prefer XRIG PCs…But from my personal experience, XRIG PCs are worth buying with total confidence…
XRIG is not tech giant company yet it provides quality build at a worthy price range. As because of its the same team that makes the PC and provides supports makes XRIG special…

So, here are the pros and cons of the new XRIG X1 models:
Pros:
- Great design and form factor
- Portable
- Great gaming performance
- Silent yet effective cooling
- Inbuilt Wifi and Bluetooth
- VR Ready models
- After sales support
Cons:
- No scope of future hardware customizations by yourself unless you contact support

- No RGB lightings
- A bit high priced
- SSD storage could have been offered in all the models(in comparison to its price)
To wrap up all, XRIG’s new models are quite impressive and powerful. In spite of the fact they are costly, they are worth spending for the long run…
They are perfect for gaming at home and carrying it to workplace anytime. For geeks and gamers like me playing FIFA or CS GO with friends at weekends on the XRIG X1 feels great.
I would appreciate XRIG to make more models especially cheaper ones for the Indian market point of view. Also, I hope the prices of the models will decrease as the prices of graphics are decreasing a lot now…
