    Bought this for my boyfriend. He loves it except wished it had more internal storage. Other than the issue with storage, it's great. He does plan on getting some external storage for it so I'd recommend looking into that

    Very good starter for next gen. Its super compact size is great for tiny spaces and its quite powerful being able to run games at 120 fps. My biggest flaw is the limited memory in which u MUST buy an expansion card.
