Like theXbox Series S, it forgoes a disc drive so that cut costs.

Microsoft has followed in its own footsteps by swapping the consoles colorway with this new disclessXbox Series X.

Instead of an all-black design, it sports an all-white one.

Clean as can be

Pictures just dont do this new Xbox Series X edition justice.

Its really the kind of console you should probably see in person to truly appreciate.

Its almost identical to the previous version except for the omission of aBlu-Ray drive.

Id say that overall, this new version has a bigger presence than its predecessor.

As someone whobought a refurbished Series Xfrom Microsoft earlier this year, I never got this original unboxing experience.

If you want green accents all around though, this isnt the Series X for you.

Theres also a single USB-A port and a sync button on the front of the console.

Likewise, its motherboard has been redesigned and its processor is a bit smaller than the original 6nm one.

In terms of heat and noise, the two Xbox Series X consoles are nearly identical.

However, this new console uses less power when idle, which should help keep your energy bill down.

This makes for an easy upgrade if you already have an Xbox series console.

This is because the Series S ships with an HDMI 2.0 cable instead of an HDMI 2.1 one.

However, I do have one small grip with my Series X.

Every now and then, I hear its disc drive spin up when Im playing.
