This is an example of religious bias. Secondly, the author describes Vivek Ramaswamy as dog-whistling to supporters of extremist far-right ideologies and wild conspiracy theories like QAnon. This is also an example of political bias.

Deception
(50%)
The article is somewhat deceiving because it does not provide any sources for the claims made by the author. The author states that the North XL case has extra space in all dimensions and allows for more cooling configurations and longer graphics cards without citing any evidence or links to peer-reviewed studies. This could be seen as a lie by omission, as they are implying that these features are unique or superior without backing them up with reliable information.
The author mentions that you can have massive 180mm fans up there, as seen on the Torrent case. This could be seen as an example of cherry-picking, as they are using a specific case model to support their claim without providing any comparison or context.

This could be seen as a lie by omission, as they are implying that these features are unique or superior without backing them up with reliable information.
The author states that the North XL case has room for E-ATX motherboards and super-deluxe cooling setups, including 420mm-long radiators in the front or 360mm radiators on top. This could be seen as a deceptive exaggeration, as it is unlikely that most users would need or want such extreme cooling configurations.

The article is highly deceptive because it does not provide any evidence or sources to support its claims. It uses vague and exaggerated language such as 'significant evolution', 'cutting-edge performance' and 'sleek design' without specifying what these terms mean or how they are measured. The article also implies that the new North Series offers more upgrades than previous models, but does not explain what kind of upgrades or why they are necessary. Additionally, the article fails to disclose any sources for its information, such as manufacturers, experts or studies. This makes it difficult for readers to verify the accuracy and reliability of the claims made by MAINGEAR.
