    Not all the games can be played. But it’s good as a gift in $250 bucks. Would recommend getting X.

    Great system overall for the price. I do miss the actual DVD/Game drive but not having to get up and switch discs is a plus!

    512gb can or cannot be wnough storage based on your needs. Convenience will cost you the proprietary nvme cost of 200 or so, but if your a light gamer than this shines for the price.
