An update of the Xbox One series of desktop game consoles, released taking into account the fact that in 2016 (it was then that this model saw the light of day) some of the features of the original should have been improved. Changes are already noticeable in appearance: the case has become smaller and can be installed vertically. However, the most striking feature of the Microsoft Xbox One S game console is the updated processor and video accelerator. These improvements made it possible to bring the resolution of the output video to 4K and even provide upscaling for games of initially lower resolution. Like its predecessor, this model carries 8 GB of RAM and 1 TB of internal hard drive.
