Professional reviewers agree the All-Digital Xbox One S delivers the same performance as the standard model while offering a cleaner, lighter design for users who have fully embraced digital libraries. They praise the internal power supply and HDR/4K streaming, but caution that the lack of a disc drive and dated hardware make it a marginal upgrade over the disc-equipped version, especially at comparable price points.
Everyday users appreciate the ease of accessing digital games, the value of Game Pass, and the console's compact footprint, often highlighting bundled titles and the included Xbox Live Gold trial. Common complaints focus on the absence of physical media support, rapid storage consumption, and concerns about high data usage during large downloads.

Professional reviewers and editors commend the Xbox Series X Digital Edition for its raw computational power, fast SSD I/O, and future-ready HDMI 2.1 features, noting that the tower design feels less imposing in person and that its weight is lighter than older consoles.

Everyday users praise the console's rapid load times, robust controller, and ample 1 TB storage, while repeatedly expressing frustration over the bulky tower shape and the inability to play physical discs. Overall sentiment is positive about performance but mixed regarding form factor and media flexibility.
