    Perfect for what i was looking to do with it. Easy set up, little slow load at times but most likely slow internet speed.

    Great for traveling, amazing at 1440 or 1080. I got this for when I travel its smaller and lighter than my gaming Razer 15. I does great when I'm at the hotel and they only have 1080p TV. its small and light and you only need to bring the power cable, hdmi and a controller and your set. seems like my gaming computer is on par on graphics as well. If yo want a compact gaming console to travel with you for yourself or your kids this is the one to get and at the same time if you dont want to game and just watch streaming services this works to. I think the price is a bit high at 300 but at 250 which I feel it will be next year around the holidays it will come down in price.

    What can I say, next gen consoles are where it’s at. I don’t own a 4K tv or monitor yet so I’m literally losing out on nothing with series s over the x except some storage space. Which would be my only complaint about this system, the hard drive is a bit small, and games like COD and Destiny 2 eat it up real quick. Still get the blazing fast load times and 60 FPS that series x offers though, which is really what I want. Love the Xbox ecosystem and operating system vs their rivals. Xbox game pass is a game changer, it’s a tad pricey for the service, but worth every penny will not go back to a console without it.

    So far no issues. I like the convenience of not having to worry about game boxes laying around and disks getting broken. The picture quality and graphics are pretty good. My son loves it!

    If you’re unsure what to get for next gen consoles this is an amazing option. The price tag alone is convincing enough to buy the series S but the power in this little guy is incredible.

    It is a good game console, really very economical versatile and it works if you do not use disk games, its 120fps I think is evident in each game, but the truth is that its older sister the X series is much better. I recommend it for players who are starting and need a good console to enter the world of XBOX and gaming

    Great little machine for the price. It has full backwards compatibility and I was able to play my old games without issues. Much better buy than a PlayStation.

    If you are looking for the actual next-gen gaming experience, buy an Xbox Series X. If you are purchasing this for your kids, then it's perfect, but If you are an adult with a 4K TV, go with the XSX; trust me, you will be much better off. I will give Microsoft credit for the design of this console. It's great! However, they say it's made for 1440p gaming, and in my opinion, it is not; it's suitable for 1080p @ 60 FPS. The main issue is that most game developers still do not give many options for adjusting resolution and performance. There are games that this system should be able to run at 1080p @ 60 FPS with no issues, but it's not an option you can select. If game developers start to embrace more of the quality/performance options you get on PC, this system will be a bargain for $299.
