A great console
14 of 17 found this helpful To start the Xbox One X is an incredible console. It is the third generation Xbox and I have owned all three. I have liked all the console but so far, I have enjoyed the Xbox One X the most. I have owned it for the last month and a half and only have great things to say about the console.
To start the console has native 4k resolution and I have a 4k monitor to go with it. 4k resolution is a very noticeable difference compared to 1080p and most games and streaming services offer 4k content. It also has the ability to do 10-bit or 12-bit color if that is supported by your monitor or TV. For the physical design Microsoft was able to get rid of the annoying power transformer and put it internally in the Xbox. This means you just have a regular power cord now. It also has a smaller footprint but is a bit heavier in weight than the second generation giving you the impression that it has a strong build quality. With fifteen dollars stand the console looks very sleek on my desk. It has the built-in capability for Dolby Atmos and comes with Windows Sonic for free which is for virtual surround sound. If you have a headset with a MixAmp you can set it to stereo uncompressed as well. It has an IR blaster built-in which allows for you to connect a multimedia remote. I found one for twenty dollars and it works great functions just like I have a TV. It can play back Ultra High Definition Blu-Ray discs too. Microsoft has an app available in the Apple Store that allows you to connect to your console and do things like power it on and off or join in to one of your friends party.
Overall there is only two negative I can think of and both have solutions they just require money. First the console gets quite hot causing the cords on the back to be hot as well. I don’t any issues will arise form this. The other is that it is only has 1TB of space, but you can by external hard drives if you filled all the space.
