    I've always liked Sony products the way they're just designed and laid out so well inside as if they want people to look at it.

    • @alexchulzhanov
      @alexchulzhanov 8 ปีที่แล้ว +37

      Not really, green PCBs, bare zinc plated steel, tons of clips.... If you want good design then look at the internals of Apple products. They're expensive but they are definitely built to be beautiful inside and out.

      LOL did you ever open a MacBook (the newer ones) they look good from outside but if you open them they look a Chinese knockoff.

    Lmao my mum once got angry (I still don't even know the reasons) and disassembled it with just a hammer, imagine a younger me coming home from school and seeing my ps4 paid with my jobs money, annihilated on the floor.

    • @Walker998

      no, that would of been impractical, even today it is mighty impressive for a system that powerful for the time to be so slim

    @jamesboaz4787 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    It's really compact now. I bet someone could tear one of these down and imbed it in a rv or van somehow. It would really save on space.
    Maybe in a VW

      @TroniicGamiing 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Doesn't really matter which one. Both will put out the same performance. But the slim is more compact, and quieter. So I'd go with that one

    I have CUH-2116 console reference and I have a question about the source of power, since it is countermarked as 220-240V.
    However I understand that Sony uses 110--240V in this model Sony use same power source? I would greatly appreciate it.

  • @AnarickTheDevil

  • @asmircar1

    i dont get it why consoles can use ddr5 ram and pc is still on ddr4....isnt pc supposed to be far more advanced and expensive ?

    • @ChemicalVapors
      @ChemicalVapors 8 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      GDDR5 (different from DDR5) is graphics oriented RAM based on the DDR3 standard. DDR4 is a new standard.

    • @Tasso-d2
      @Tasso-d2 8 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      xAsmir PS4 only uses video memory because of the cpu's integrated Radeon GPU. PS4 does not have ram it has video memory and if it did it would certainly be DDR3. As for a PC you can have DDR4 ram that the CPU uses and GDDR5 X on some of the newer gpu's gtx 1080 etc... The PS4's CPU is not that powerful it's the integrated GPU that's doing all the video processing THATS why it makes sense to have 8GB of GDDR5. That video memory is shared between the CPU and GPU it's more cost effective.

    • @MVrockersPS3
      @MVrockersPS3 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      GPU ram on pcs now has GDDR5+ and HBM which is insanely fast. DDR4 ram which is system RAM has benefits compared to GDDR for regular system use.

    • @TroniicGamiing
      @TroniicGamiing 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      For warranty reasons. If you open your ps4, (to clean it, let's say) then you need your ps4 repaired for whatever reason and you take it to Sony then they will see you have broken the seal, and tampered with it, potentially them telling you, they won't fix it because you voided your warranty
