- ginko 6y agoLooks like 25% of the volume are unnecessary design elements like those weird fins.
- nsriv 6y agoAgreed. Not trying to start a flame war, but it really madee appreciate the packaging of the Series X more.
- vcanales 6y agoApple gets shit for building shit to be thin over having good cooling; Sony gets shit for building a chunky, properly cooled device. I think Sony wins here.
- masklinn 6y agoAren't they the air intake and exhaust? Those around the fan correspond to the "air vent" earlier in the video, and those at the back seem to be the only possible exhaust.
- gizmo385 6y agoAre you referring to the metal fins on the heat sink? Those are explicitly for cooling and you'll see them on pretty much any air-cooled GPU or CPU system. If you think those are excessive, you should see the cooler on the new Nvidia GPUs. They're like 80% cooler.
- ginko 6y agoNo, I'm talking about the large white "wings" of the front plates.
- wtracy 6y agoI wouldn't be surprised if that's intentionally done to force users to leave enough space around the console for airflow.
- egman_ekki 6y agoyeah, and we're 70% water...
