What is the best PC under $300 in October 2026? This 16-Core Xeon Mini PC with 16GB RAM from Newegg gets my vote
I still think the Rmatamini P99S is the best PC you can get for under $300. It's just $229 at Newegg — and now packs 16GB of RAM instead of 8GB.
In October 2026, the Rmatamini P99S mini PC, priced at $229 on Newegg, stood out as the best value under $300. This 16-core Xeon mini PC featured 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, boasting an Intel Core E5 2698Bv3 processor and a GeForce GTS450 2G GPU. Despite its high power consumption and outdated GPU, the P99S remained unrivaled in its price range.
However, a competitor emerged - the Bosgame E5 Plus, $20 more expensive but offering AMD Ryzen 3 5400U CPU and better graphics capabilities. The Chuwi LarkBox X presented a more compact and elegant alternative, powered by an Intel Core i3-1220p CPU, albeit with half the memory of the P99S.
