it s absolutely fine and perfectly functional

understated
and functional design

Screen damage from the heat of the console is a worry too
lacks a disc drive
it currently works only with certain games
Xbox Series S was designed to be a traditional gaming console
the Xbox controller still uses AA-batteries
There is no such thing as enough storage
the OS on the old boxes took up more space on the internal tirage
rendering resolution will not be the end-all be-all of graphics quality
there are no mobile apps for the Xbox Movies & TV service
The lack of Blu-ray is noticeable
Microsoft Flight Simulator is not an arcade experience
lack of optical drive does limit
no sign of dynamic resolution scaling
The Master Chief Collection launched as a broken mess
Sony movies and shows
Xbox Series S is a disc-less console
are 4 TFLOPS of power for the Xbox Series S
It has no optical disc drive
There s also no headphone port on the xScreen
Seagate storage expansion cards
external links on this page are affiliate links
it s not cheap
it blocks every other port on the back of the console
364GB is actually useable for game and app storage
huge chunk of the internal storage is given over to system files
a smaller SSD and no disc drive
super fast SSDs are expensive
the television in my living room is only a 1080p screen
Gears 5 running at medium settings on my gaming PC
speed is not a direct limitation
it feels a little gimmicky
it s a little taller than its predecessor
the Xbox Series S is not capable of native 4K output
there are no USB-C ports
lack of optical drive
Xbox Live Gold nor the ability to play games on your Android smartphone or tablet
lack of USB-C ports is a big missed opportunity
the Xbox Series S is not nearly as powerful as the Xbox Series X
some games will chew through SSD space
s too early to know whether Series S is really just a lower-resolution Series X
s difficult to imagine the Xbox Series S lasting an entire console generation
ray tracing really is too much
Does the system have enough storage space
means you cannot use physical media like a disc
s still only seven games in total
Xbox guide cumbersome to use sometimes
it s still not clear which missing ones will get updated
the Xbox process feels old and slow in comparison
lack of an optical drive is certainly stifling

lack of a disc drive frees up some prime real estate inside
SSD really does fill up in the flash of an eye
price of gaming opulence is the loss of quick resume
increased input latency and some image issues
triggers have been shortened to make them more accommodating for smaller hands
lack of native 4K resolution in the majority of games and a disc drive
lack of disc drive may put you off
