News::Ben Heck's Xbox One S teardown

The Ben Heck Show - Episode 252 - Ben Heck's Xbox Slim Teardown

There are few things Ben Heck loves more than tearing down the newest gaming consoles. Watch how he unboxes the Xbox One S and takes apart each component, including the controller. As Ben does his thing, we see how Microsoft kept costs down by making alterations to both the chassis and printed circuit boards. Ben also compares the XBox One S side by side with the original XBox One and discovers that a connector is missing. Which one could it be? The power supply is another major change with Xbox One S; in the early days it was basically a huge brick. Ben also highlights the changes in the CPU/GPU heatsink and the limitations of hacking the HDMI ports on the board. Do you think there's something else we can do with it? Let us know over on the element14 Community, where you can also learn about upcoming episodes.
