👎 Cons

  • The product seal is opened for hardware/software upgrades, which might be a consideration for some buyers
  • Storage is limited to a 1TB HDD, which is slower than an SSD and may result in longer game load times
  • Lacks an integrated display and webcam, requiring separate purchases for visual output and video communication
