Introduction

I would like to thank Fractal Design for supplying the review sample.


Fractal Design is well known for its higher-end products, including the Define series. Over the years, there have been pushes by Fractal into lower price brackets with some success, but none forged into that $70-80 range successfully enough to spawn several product generations. There was the Core series around 2011, or the Focus line in 2018, for example.

With the launch of the Pop line, Fractal is truly going all in with the attempt to capture the budget-minded market segment, offering three general sizes: the Pop Mini, Pop, and Pop XL—each with some variations. In this review, we will be looking at the Pop Air RGB, which ships in a slew of bright internal colors. There is also the Pop Silent SKU with a solid front and toned down looks using the same body.
