True to its name, this model is a further development and improvement of the advanced desktop console PlayStation 4, modified to meet the top class for the fall of 2016. One of the most striking practical differences from its predecessor was support for 4K video; this became possible primarily due to a new video accelerator with an almost 2.5-fold increase in performance. Processor — also improved, although of the same family — AMD Jaguar; this allowed to keep the amount of RAM at 8 GB.

Although this console is not the most advanced on the market today, it still has a very impressive set of features, both basic and advanced. Technically, it is a direct successor to the original PSP and outwardly differs from it in reduced size and a new screen, and inside — doubled (up to 64 MB) RAM. Like the original, it works with MS Duo cards and UMDs and can be used not only for games, but also as a player and for accessing

Thus, the Sony PlayStation 4 Slim gaming console has received wireless modules Wi-Fi ac and Bluetooth 4.0, the processor has become somewhat more powerful, yet the RAM volume and graphics card performance remain unchanged — which, however, are quite sufficient for FullHD games with high detail.

Quite an interesting variation on the theme of the original PlayStation 3. On the one hand, the new console has lost a memory card slot and half of the USB ports (Slim has 2 of them). On the other hand, the volume of the built-in storage has increased to 120 GB (in the minimum configuration), and power consumption has decreased by 30% with the same hardware basis: 8-core processor with 3.2 GB, 256 MB of RAM and a Blu-ray drive.

An update of the Xbox One series of desktop game consoles, released taking into account the fact that in 2016 (it was then that this model saw the light of day) some of the features of the original should have been improved. Changes are already noticeable in appearance: the case has become smaller and can be installed vertically. However, the most striking feature of the Microsoft Xbox One S game console is the updated processor and video accelerator. These improvements made it possible to bring the resolution of the output video to 4K and even provide upscaling for games of initially lower resolution. Like its predecessor, this model carries 8 GB of RAM and 1 TB of internal hard drive.

So, the equipment initially comes with two control joysticks for playing together with a friend, as well as a game disc, so that the user can “try out” the device immediately after purchase. Otherwise, we have a classic Microsoft Xbox 360 E. Under the hood there is an ATI C1/Xenos central processor, 512 MB of RAM and a graphics card with a performance of 0.24 TFLOPS. It is also worth paying attention to the fact that the capacity of the built-in drive is 500 GB, but in addition, there are 4 GB and 1 TB modifications on the market.
