PlayStation 4 Pro 1TB
Score: 76/100Rankings
The PlayStation 4 Pro adds a more powerful GPU, 4K upscaling, HDR10 and improved VR performance to the PS4 platform, but it is bulkier, louder and consumes more power, and it still lacks native 4K Blu-ray playback.
The PlayStation 4 1TB Black Console offers a powerful 8-core CPU, 8 GB of GDDR5 RAM, and a 1 TB HDD for a solid 1080p HDR gaming experience, complemented by a DualShock 4 controller and extensive media features. Its drawbacks include lack of 4K support, a noisy fan, and reliance on a mechanical hard drive.
