Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers commend the PS4 Slim for delivering the full PS4 experience in a smaller, lighter, and more energy‑efficient package, with HDR adding visual depth. However, they note its lack of 4K capability and slower HDD compared to newer SSD‑based consoles, positioning it as a solid budget option rather than a next‑gen powerhouse.
What Users Say
Everyday users appreciate the console’s extensive game library, easy setup, and ample 1TB storage, especially for 1080p/HDR gaming in living rooms and apartments. Common criticisms focus on the noisy HDD, absence of 4K, limited controller battery life, and occasional overheating in cramped spaces.
Common Complaints
Noisy HDD after prolonged use, lack of native 4K output, controller battery draining quickly, and occasional overheating when ventilation is poor.
What People Are Saying
“smaller, lighter, and 28% more energy efficient”
