These are excellent case fans. I bought a 5-pack last month and I've been using them in my new build. They push a lot of air and are mostly…

They don't. I've also noticed the humming on the Phantom Spirit above 1300rpm but these don't hum, although they are just as loud in…

Are these better? https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/885130 $50 cheaper but double (triple?) the battery life.

Yeah sorry, should clarify that the PS5 cannot use HMB, so the recommendation is to only use DRAM equipped drives on it. But I can't find…

Is the lack of HMB problematic for PS5? Tried looking for comparisons/benchmarks and couldn't find any. Only that Digital Foundry used a…

Performance wise the A770 objectively worse across the board. Sometimes a lot worse due to Intel's less mature drivers. However, you get…

It released at $1300 although the MSRP is higher. It was cheap even at $1300 compared to other laptops with these specs.

It manages cooling very well, but like I said the fans can be annoying going into idle all the time. At 100% fan speed it's not that loud…

Dual fans side-by-side, you can see them underneath. The cooling is extremely good and I've seen no throttling. Benchmarks at the top end…

Sitting at the desktop it says 11-12 hours. General usage? 6-8 hours. Gaming? Less than 90 minutes.

It's two less cores and wouldn't have any impact on day to day usage. You get a less powerful iGPU too. That said for just $100 extra it's…

This one has no trouble maxing out the 8845HS. Runs fairly cool overall too, although the fan can be a little obnoxious ramping up and down…
