Hey everyone, welcome to Tech After Dark, I'm Rocco! Two stories from the last few hours, and one of 'em is a shiny new power supply. And I'm Nova. I read the fine print. First up, Xiaomi's got a new Slim Magnetic Power Bank with a 10,000 milliamp hour battery. Ooh, magnetic and slim! How fast does it charge my phone? Up to 25 watts wirelessly, Rocco. The older UltraThin topped out at 15. Hey, that's a real jump!

So what's the damage? 489 Hong Kong dollars. Notebookcheck says that's a 40 percent price jump over the older 5,000 milliamp hour model. Okay, pricier. But bigger and faster, so, fair. Can I get one? Only in Hong Kong for now, in Glacier Silver or Graphite Black. Nobody's announced a wider release. Over in P C land, Super Flower just dropped the leadex VIII Platinum Pro Premium power supplies! Nova, what sizes we got?

850, 1,000 and 1,200 watts, each in black or white. So, six models. Six! Will it run a big new graphics card? It's got the 12V-2x6 G P U connector and supports Intel A T X 3.1 and PCIe 5.1. Here's the spec list. Ooh, throw the video up on the big screen. What's inside, Nova? Japanese-brand capacitors rated for 105 degrees Celsius, Infineon mosfets, and a controller chip made by T S M C. Oh, and it's Cybenetics Platinum certified.

Price? Release date? Neither one's in the announcement, so we don't know yet. Sorry, Rocco. Nothing to borrow. Aw, man. That's the latest from Notebookcheck and TechPowerUp, full posts linked with the episode. Catch you on the next one!
