"It's sleeker, lighter, and more compact, making it easier to fit into any entertainment setup. The performance remains top-notch with fast load times and stunning graphics. The modular design, including a removable disc drive, adds great flexibility. While it's still a bit pricey, it's a worthwhile investment for any gamer looking to enhance their gaming experience."

Another said: "You immediately notice the difference between this and the PS4, particularly in loading times. The visual difference becomes more apparent when paired with a 4K TV/monitor. Also, the fan is quiet, only occasionally the disc drive can be loud when copying a game disc (which can be fixed, as far as I'm aware). Even so, if you are a gamer I'd get this. A clear improvement on its predecessor."
