    I thought I would miss not having a disk drive. But the switch couldn’t be sweeter. Yes there’s not a ton of memory but with cloud gaming, and 1GB internet speeds you won’t even notice. Great if you have limited space and enjoy traveling. Paired with my G Cloud this thing is amazing !

    I've owned S model since it came out years ago and finally got an Xbox X. The S is awesome. I played it on a 2k monitor. Beautiful and fast. Recently I played it on my 4k. Also beautiful and fast. I can tell the difference when I hooked up the X model on my 4k, but still, the xbox S is a great (cute) machine.
