What reviewers say
Reviewers praise the smaller, quieter, more energy-efficient design and the existing PS4 game library. Stuff and TechRadar miss the optical audio output, while Ars Technica found the disc drive noisier than on the original PS4. They regard the Slim as a useful replacement for newcomers rather than a performance upgrade for existing PS4 owners.
