this is the Xbox 1x and at $500 it's definitely not a cheap console for instance the ps4 pro is $100 less the Xbox 1s is sitting at just 250 so yeah the big question here other than how well it plays games is whether it's $500 price tag is justifiable or not so that's the main question I'll try to answer in this video the Xbox one X is a lot smaller than the s and the original one so that's great but design wise it's very dull it's just a black box with practically no interesting design decisions anywhere but then again it's a console supposed to be stashed into your TV table without being too large or crazy-looking and they've definitely managed to do that very well compared to the ps4 Pro it's both less deep and high with a more powerful GPU awesome stuff speaking of GPU the Xbox one X has a custom AMD GPU being 40% more powerful than any other console on the market it's got 12 gigabytes of gddr5 memory to help with 4k textures and also it's got an 8 core CPU running at a frequency of 2.3 gigahertz in terms of ports you've got a single USB port at the front and at the back you've got DC power in meaning it has an internal power supply awesome HDMI out and in two super speed USB ports are out optical in and lastly an Ethernet jack but you don't have to use that it's got Wi-Fi for storage you've got a one terabyte normal hard drive which is fine for gaming but definitely makes the operating system slower than it has to be I'm not saying I want a one terabyte SSD because that will cost five hundred dollars in itself but I would have loved to see a smaller SSD just for the operating system to make sure it's fast and snappy like it should be in 2017 and many people have been asking me whether one terabytes of storage is fine or if you need to install a bigger hard drive or get an external one and the answer to that is if you want to download more than I guess maybe 25 games you need more storage because games nowadays are huge and I feel like Microsoft definitely could have thrown in a 2 terabyte hard drive instead it's definitely not that much more expensive I mean Forza 7 was like 60 gays so yeah you'll definitely need more storage down the line so how does the games themselves look amazing really I've never seen a better looking game than 4 to 7 motorsport everything is so lifelike from rain to the sky to the cars themselves in the game they have definitely got ways to go though when it comes to the mechanical aspect of racing games and games in general but graphics wise the Xbox one axe delivers crazy good visuals however that is only possible if developers decide to actually enhance and optimize their games for the new power found in the Xbox 1x some other games I've tried on the Xbox one X is the new Assassin's Creed origins and battlefield 1 and they look amazing too I love the fact that with the Xbox one X and consoles in general is very easy to get going fast the downside however is that both major console manufacturers that was being Sony and Microsoft don't allow you to play games online if you don't enlist into their monthly subscriptions of PS Plus or Xbox Live Gold I do get that though they're not making their profits by selling the consoles themselves they're making a living by getting market share and selling these subscriptions and games so I can't really blame them I've got a mention though I really do like Xbox game pass it's a brilliant idea that benefits everyone from the game developers to the customers themselves and I was actually very surprised to see so many good games on the platform game consoles nowadays are much more than just that you can download apps browse the web watch Netflix and 4k HDR blu-rays so you're definitely getting more than just a game machine with this console keep that in mind so to sum up this review I like the xbox 1x a lot I like its performance the games on their Xbox game pass the size and a whole lot of other things I don't like the fact that you have to pay to play online the design and also that the operating system isn't as as it could be if they had an SSD dedicated to the OS and lastly one terabytes of storage won't be enough for most people so what about the price is it worth it well that greatly depends on you the customer if you've got a 4k TV and don't have a blu-ray box or anything like that and also would like to play games on your 4k TV it's definitely worth it 4k HDR blu-ray players are usually like five hundred dollars on their own so when you're also getting the most powerful gaming console in the same price the price definitely starts looking very justifiable if you're only going to be gaming though and on an older 1080p TV or monitor I would personally get the Xbox one S or the ps4 a slam or just wait for the next generation of consoles but then none of that matters if you just want the best of the best and okay I'll tell you the Xbox one X is probably the best console right now so let me know what you guys think of the Xbox one X in the comment section down below and I'll see you guys in my next video peace
