Customers commend the Xbox Series S for its affordability, compact size, and impressive performance, especially considering its price point. Many appreciate the ease of use and fast load times, along with the benefits of Xbox Game Pass. However, some users point out limitations in storage capacity and the lack of a disc drive as significant drawbacks. The console's resolution capabilities also receive mixed feedback.

    I was surprised about the size of the xbox compared to previous model. Its very practical for console play and decent graphics for the price. It doesn't replace a PC but highly recommended forgiving fun! 2K is great for casual gaming. 4K recommend going with Xbox Series X

    Great alternative vs the X console. However the 1080 upscale to 4k it is very basic vs the full 4K resolution on the series x console. It gets very hot so make sure you have it on an open space. I have gotten some freeze here and there when i get to over 3 to 4 hours of playing time.

    I wish it was the xbox series X. This will do for now until we can buy one. It’s a great little powerful machine. We have it hooked up to our 82 inch LG ThinQ 4k HDR. It makes a lot of the games so pretty. The load screens are fast and make it loading into a game quick.

    Love it! It seems the same to me like the previous Xbox but either way it’s a lot faster for sure. It doesn’t lag. It’s small and easy to put anywhere.
