Q: 4. I have a 13 in M1 MBP, and have heard that the new M1 laptops have issues with turning on when in the laptop sleeve due to the magnets in the bag (used to keep the shoulder straps attached).

I have been looking for a case that combines style and performance, and I found it in the Fractal Design North. This case is a masterpiece of design, with natural materials and elegant details that make it stand out from the crowd. The walnut panels and brass accents give it a warm and sophisticated look, while the dark-tinted window showcases the components inside. The case is also very well-engineered, with fine-patterned mesh ventilation and an open front that allow for optimal airflow and cooling. The case comes with two 140 mm Aspect PWM fans that are quiet and efficient, and there is plenty of room for additional fans or radiators. The case supports up to a 355 mm GPU, or up to a 300 mm GPU with a 360 mm front radiator, so you can fit any high-end graphics card you want. The case also has an intuitive interior layout, with two 2.5/3.5” drive bays and two 2.5” drive mounts, as well as a PSU shroud and cable routing channels for a clean and tidy build. The case has an integrated tab for easy access to the top of the case, where you can find the power button, two USB 3.0 ports, and a headphone and microphone jack. The case is compatible with ATX, Micro-ATX, and Mini-ITX motherboards, so you can choose the best platform for your needs. The case is also very easy to build in, with tool-less side panels and thumbscrews for the expansion slots. The case is sturdy and durable, made of steel and tempered glass, and weighs 9.8 kg. The case has a sleek and minimalist design, with no RGB lighting or flashy logos, which I personally prefer. The case is a perfect blend of form and function, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a gaming PC that looks as good as it performs. I hope this review was helpful, and thank you for reading.

As a Dane I love this european style/design.
Using with RTX4090 no issue with cooling.

This isn't the roomiest of cases, but it looks great. Fairly easy to build in, and cable management wasn't a problem. My Noctua DH15 fit nicely. The Scandinavian/Danish Modern look was refreshing given the abundance of RGB-lit aquarium-style cases. If a full-size tower had been available in this style, I'd have gone for it. Pretty classy looking, and the mesh top and side are literally cool!

This beautiful case is not for those who want to show off their multicolored fans. It is a gorgeous, upscale, well-ventilated case that brings to mind mid-century HiFi speakers. The slats on the front are real wood, the side is mesh, and the feet give it a good clearance for the air cooling your PSU. There are built in, easy-to-clean filters for the front and bottom (PSU) fans, and it comes with a bracket for side (mesh panel) fans, something you cannot have if you opt for the glass side. This case is more practical then glass side ones, because it is better ventilated. You can install fans on four sides of the case. It comes with trays for three 3.5 SATA drives, but they were clever enough to leave room so each tray can hold a 3.5 drive and a 2.5 drive, so you can easily install six drives (three of each). My motherboard holds four m.2 SSDs, so I could end up with a total of ten different drives in this mid-size case. The sides and top panels come off for easy install. My one minor gripe is that the hand-tightened screws are uneven. Some screw in easily, others require a screwdriver. This is the only detail I wish they had paid more attention to, but once your computer is built, you hopefully will not have to keep opening it often. You will not regret getting this case.

Having built in a Fractal Design case before, I was expecting the same kind of quality and functionality in the North. I wasn't disappointed. I changed out the provided front fans for 2 140mm RBG fans and installed an 240mm AIO at the top. The only caveat is that if you are going to install a top AIO then make sure the CPU power and CPU fan connections are made BEFORE securing the motherboard in place. Otherwise, there is no room to get into to make those connections. Very happy with the result except all of the little rubber pads coming off the feet because of the many trips to and from the assembly workbench. A little glue fixed that.

This case is premium all over. Love it. Went from a lian li o11 when I had a quick and regrettable RGB obsession. This case looks better in every way. The only thing's i'd be aware of is it's rather shaollow for the big boy graphics cards, my 6900xt xfx doesnt fit with a radiator vertically mounted in the front. You'll need something under 320mm in length. I plan on using either a 4090 or a sapphire 7900xtx, which are short enough. The case is well laid out, and was easy to work with.

I fit a 280mm arctic liquid freezer II in the side fan mount with no hard bends. This case is wonderful. If I could rate it 4.5 stars I would. The only issue I have is some quality things with the thickness of some of the sheet metal (side panel).

That being said this is the best looking case I've ever had. Thumbs screws are so nice. The stock fans are also much better than most, quiet and move a lot of air.

This is a very good case. Easy to build in. All components are high quality. Wood front is very stylish. I was able to fit a 360mm AIO without any trouble. Highly recommend.

Beautiful. Nice metal buttons. Easy to build in. Front panel is easy to remove for cleaning. Lightweight. Only downside is for MATX there is only one extra stand off included and the bottom ATX stand offs were locked in tight.
