A:Answer This is the latest model 2017 and it has the same CPU speed as the recent model, however the Pro has 500 GB of internal storage on the ready. The older model I believe only has 16 GB and no flash memory will not make it any faster. The thing I like about the Pro is that I don't have to stick any USB external storage in order to purchase my game library. It runs smooth with no issues. You can hook up any external storage drive to your 16 GB model, but it won't be any faster.
