Performance
The CPU speed indicates how many processing cycles per second can be executed by a CPU, considering all of its cores (processing units). It is calculated by adding the clock rates of each core or, in the case of multi-core processors employing different microarchitectures, of each group of cores.
Floating-point performance is a measurement of the raw processing power of the GPU.
You can easily connect an external hard drive via USB if you need more space.
The internal storage refers to the built-in storage space available in a device for system data, apps, and user-generated data. With a large amount of internal storage, you can save more files and apps on your device.
Resolution is an essential indicator of a screen's image quality, representing the maximum amount of pixels that can be shown on the screen. The resolution is given as a compound value, comprised of horizontal and vertical pixels.
Ray tracing is an advanced light rendering technique that provides more realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections in games.
General info
The internal hard drive can be replaced by the user, for example if you wish to upgrade to a larger storage capacity.
Region free devices allow you to play games from different continents. This enables you to collect a larger game library, and you could play games before they are released in your region.
We consider a thinner chassis better because it makes the product more compact and portable. Thinness is a feature highlighted by many manufacturers of mobile devices, but it is essential for a wide range of products.
The width represents the horizontal dimension of the product. We consider a smaller width better because it assures easy maneuverability.
Devices with an internal power supply are desirable as they don't require a large external "power brick" on the cable. It’s more aesthetically pleasing and an advantage if you have limited space.
Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by the product's chassis or, in simpler terms, the space the product occupies.
Connectivity
With a standard mini jack socket, you can use the device with most headphones.
The device can connect to Wi-Fi.
All DLNA-certified products are compatible with one another. When different devices are connected to the same network, data can be transferred easily between them.
The device has a standard memory slot (such as an SD or micro SD card slot) that enables you to extend the built-in internal storage with affordable memory modules, or easily retrieve data, such as photographs, from the memory card.
With more USB ports, you are able to connect more devices.
Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) is a wireless standard released in 2009. It has faster transfer rates and improved security compared to its predecessors – a, b, and g.
Features
Consoles which have more games offer more choice to the user. It is also an indicator of how popular a console is.
You can use your voice to control key functions of the device and you can easily access your device without pushing any button.
You can access big name video streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu Plus, without a subscription to the console’s manufacturer.
This means you don’t have to wait for the entire game to download first, as the later stages of the game download while you are playing.
You can operate the device easily, by pressing the screen with your fingers.
The device tracks the user's motion and gestures using a camera. This allows for enhanced gameplay through recognizing the player's movement.
Controllers
With a touchpad, users can control the device by moving their finger on a touch-sensitive surface.
A motion controller is a type of game controller that utilizes sensors (such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, and other types of sensors) to track motion and provide input.
The device controllers connect to the console wirelessly, allowing for a tangle free gaming experience.
With dual force feedback the controller has realistic vibrations, allowing you to feel the direction from which the impact is coming.
