Many appreciate the ease of use and fast load times, along with the benefits of Xbox Game Pass.

    Great 1080p gaming machine that is super quick loading. Only negative and its big is the tiny hard drive in it. You need to upgrade almost instantly as you will run out of space quickly.

    Was quiet and ran perfect. The shipping was not great as the box was dented and what not. This isn’t Best Buy’s fault but other than that it arrived 2 days early and works great.

    Way smaller than I thought it would be. Still packs a punch. Loses some features compared to the X but azing value for what it can do. Not being 4k native does detract from it a bit.
