As you can see, the new Xbox is very power consuming, even when watching Netflix and Blu-ray. It was not possible to measure power consumption during our test, but Extreme Tech has already done that. For comparison, GTA5 takes up 44 GB, Far Cry 4 takes up 27GB and most other games come in at around 25-60GB. A 265 GB SSD would just feel so very unsatisfying. So why not just make a One with a smaller SSD? Well after installing five games we had used up around 30% of the hard drive capacity, so forget about having 25 big titles installed at the same. An Xbox One with 500 GB SSD would probably cost at least $100 extra. However, SSDs are very expensive and especially if you want 500 GB. A new and much faster Solid State Drive would help fix that problem. As you can see, the One does not have not blazingly fast loading times, simply because of the fact that it uses an "old" traditional hard drive. It took 39 seconds on the One and the 27 seconds on the 360 for the same race track in Forza 4. As an example, I timed the load-up of Forza 5. However, when leading tracks and maps the One is not faster than 360 since all textures and graphics in general have improved. Specifications: 8-core 1.75 GHz CPU Jaguar GPU 853 MHz with DirectX 11.1 8GB ram 500GB HDD Blu-ray and DVD HDMI portThe result is prettier graphics, faster navigation in the menus – and no noticeable lag. AMD has been chosen to develop the new hardware. A hardware upgradeIf you already own a Xbox 360 you may have noticed that the graphics have not improved significantly the past few years, meaning that Xbox One’s improved hardware is a welcoming and important update. Lastly, there is a Kensington lock which you might find useful. I think it is a shame that Kinect is optional, but I will come back to that later.
However, since Xbox no longer comes bundled with a Kinect you do not need it. On the back side you will find also a weird little port. Additionally, there is optical out and Ethernet, even though Wi-Fi is integrated.

On the back you will also find HDMI in and out which is used to connect a TV set-top box. On the left side you will find an USB 3.0 port and on the back side you will find two additional USB ports - still 3.0. The Blu-ray will of course output 1080p, and there is also support for 3D Blu-rays. Xbox One supports the DTS and Dolby codecs, and even DTS HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD is supported. Still, we appreciate the added Blu-ray drive. The Blu-ray reader dominates the front of the console and because of how it has been designed you cannot place Xbox One vertically, only horizontally. In your tests, Xbox One remained silent for 95% of the time and the vents never get real loud.
The vents enable the One to remain silent even when enjoying Blu-ray, Netflix or games. Except from the front, every side of the console has big vents that let the hot air out. The choice of material has not changed much from 360 as it used the same type of plastic. The plastic feels a bit cheap but the One still feels solid. The material is plastic and the black coating makes the One easy to hide between Blu-ray players, receivers and other media boxes. The design may be conservative, but it looks a bit more "2014". The 360 had soft curves but the One is all square and straight lines. No design winnerXbox One is bigger in every way.
