    It might be small but it packs just as much power as the Xbox Series X. Fun system and can be placed anywhere without taking up muck space.

    Great product. Microsoft has done a great job with making it compact yet well cooled. Loading times are insanely fast compared to last gen.

    Good Console Upgrade

    The graphics and the games are pretty great. The limited hard drive space is a little bit concerning and the fact that it doesn't have a disk drive was difficult to get used to. Using this console combined with the Game Pass has been a great experience.

    I honestly only bought this because it was the only kind of next gen console I could get my hands on, but it's actually a pretty impressive piece of hardware. Runs smoothly and the games are legit. Only downside is the small storage space
